swagger700 Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 Hi out last night and missed 2 fairly straightforward fox's maybe 200 ish yards, had a shot at a rabbit and bullet strike was more than a ft high I normally shoot with no illuminater on top of the drone.. Could this of altered poi ?? Last week it shot half inch groups when checked zero. Will get out to check tonight cos it's wrong time of year to have a problem !

Rammer223 Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 Would not think where you have ir would make any difference when someone posts about drone losing zero nine times out of ten it's because something has come loose check all the little screws that hold front lense and mount Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8 90 Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 As said above Jon. My mates did exactly the same - we found the screws to be loose in the collar between the body & the front lens. We found this by gently feeling for movement in each part whilst the scope was fitted to his rifle, once nipped up the zero returned !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sussexsteve Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 Check the quick release levers too making sure they have equal tension Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montey Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 My mk1 had a loose lense in the doubler easy fix when I found it . As every one ellse said plus your rail, stock to action fit and mod good luck and do please lett us know how you get on. The IR will make no difrance as point of aim is the same in day light. If you get stuck ring Carl at night vision gear uk he put me rite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rammer223 Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 Hi Jon Only you know if it's fox fever I still get adrenaline even now but I guess that's part of the fun for me , take the drone off the rifle and handle it if there's something lose you should feel it with a little shake front lense is a fair lump for those little screws and retaining ring, just a worry it seems to perform when it doesn't matter !

swagger700 Posted August 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 Don't think it's fox fever, it's bloody nightmare felt like hoying rifle into hedge!!. Nowt worse than rifles for doing your head in and then losing confidence. Have another look tonight Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
