[billbroon 9]

Right guys does taking the sound mod on and off effect the scope's zero. Heard it does and heard it shouldnt, also heard i should store with it OFF. Tryed search but nothing came up. Thanks

 

P.S. Ive got a .222 with a wildcat mod

should really be stored off but most people including me get lazy moderator on reduces muzzle flip so increases accuracy

In my limited experience it definatly makes a big difference in the zero of my .243 fitted with a T8 mod.

Cock on with mod and a mile out once removed. If i store the rifle vertical with the mod on, some products of burnt powder drop into the cleaned barrel so i always take of the mod when the rifles in storage then attatch prior to hunting, which incidently doesn't alter the zero.

Hope this helps.

You will almost certainly get a different point of impact mod on and mod off. Removing and replacing the mod shouldn't affect zero, and it's not considered good to leave a mod on, as it means all the gases evolved in firing are retained close to the muzzle and can cause crown damage.

leave my t8 on my .223.had no problems.only take the mod of to give it a clean with wd40 once a month.

I spray my T8 every time I use it with a touch of WD40 and leave it to stand for a day somewhere in the house. After that I store it in the ammo safe. My rifle's zeroed for use with the mod on and zero isn't affected when I come to use the mod again, which is what the question was I think.

Well done Cragman, someone who reads the question!

 

It will not affect the zero taking it on an off for storage.

• Cheers guys, didnt think the post was to hard to understand. So i will store the rifle with mod off and it shouldnt effect the zero taking it on and off. Cheers
