Tried using my Daisy 901 multi pump air rifle today on pests, and was missing. Bench checked it and the scope was off on windage, not sure how that happened, maybe it got bumped when I laid it on the carpeted floor while waiting for opportunities. As this rifle uses a plastic receiver, had to be gentle with it.
It occurred to me on my other rim fire and center fire rifles over the years that for some reason, despite me being very gentle with my guns, and using hard padded cases, I often will get to the range and find I have to adjust slightly the scope even though it was spot on a month before when I left the range.
Have read that hunting guides will require an elk hunter who flew into Wyoming, etc. to check his zero before the hunt as the scope could have been knocked adjare while in transit.
Can a scope move by itself, like with gravity, or other? I have used fairly expensive and cheap scopes, seems like they all do it. Very annoying and a good reason why I prefer iron sights but as I am now approaching 60 years of age had to mount scopes on all my sporting guns as my eyes are not like they were when I as 19.
Thanks.
