Was helping a friend zero his new scope he got cabelas to mount before season one time. Was a 700 30-06 with a Vortex Viper, shooting it at the farm, we bore sighted it at my cabin. So first few shots were nice and tracked good then it went bonkers! I was like wtf is going on, had it happened a couple times but not often. I told him something came lose, I pulled out my tools and started checking screws, yes a couple did. Re torqued them and then bore sighted it again in the field, zeroed perfect after that and that season he dropped a stud of a 5x5 Whitetail.
My brother had a hard time zeroing his axis when he had it, turned out the stock was all over the barrel. I told him how to free float it, and he did but then he traded it away before he could shoot it again. I’ve always been curious if it was the stock or just the typical Axis.
