secretagentmole 1,701 Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 If your lamp is on your gun then it will need re-zeroing! Ask Pianoman! As for moving when lamping, I have been trying that, but only had a few trips so trying to improve my style! Quote Link to post

Karpman 44 Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 You should always zero before any type of hunting pal as a matter of routine. Get ready at home get to permission and zero, I take 35 yards of string and to wood pegs in the game bag for accurate zero range. Cheers karma Quote Link to post

secretagentmole 1,701 Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 POI changes when additional weight is placed on a rifle, affects the recoil! So after attaching lamp to gun, check zero! Quote Link to post

In a word , NO . Although things can look very different through a scope at night , especially using a red filter . It may take a while to get used to judging distances , as always , get to `know` your set up , and it`ll be fine . 1 Quote Link to post

Karpman 44 Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 Ah right ok pal. If your out from daylight to night it takes a couple of minutes. So to sumerise pal if you unsure slap ya scope before dusk and zero fast. My scope always seems to need a click here and there when messing. So as you see my inital post don't change much.

zini 1,939 Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 Sorry Mole i have been lamping a few years now and i never have had to re zero either a springer or a pcp once i fit a lamp. I always zero last light then fit the lamp and shoot having the same poi. If you fit a lamp on your silencer or towards the end of your barrel, especially if you have a free floating barrel you can get effected with something called barrel droop where your poi will lower by anything from 1/2 inch to 2 inches. I think thats what Simon was meaning buddy. Si Quote Link to post

moxy 617 Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 Im with you on this buster. I have never had to re-zero any rifle after fitting it with a lamp. As already said your judgement of distance will alter but thats down to your eyesight not your set up. Quote Link to post
