Others It came zero’d!!!

[Centercut]

Today I went to zero the Athlon Ares ETR 4.5-30x I installed on my .25 Panthera 600mm PRS gun.
You might remember, I had an Athlon Midas BTR gen2 4.5-27x when I shot the Oregon Long Range event, but shooting PRS NRL-22 type positional shooting is better to have an FFP scope than an SFP scope.
So I installed the brand new Ares ETR yesterday, and put the ScopeWerks turret on the scope with the scope tape I took from the Midas. Put the 50Y mark over the “0”, and I was done.
Today I took a position with the gun shooting at 80 yards at a large steel plate, probably 8 feet wide and 5 feet high. Very rusty. I picked out a mark near the middle of the plate, after dialing up from 50 to 80 yards on the turret.
Took the shot. BAM . Right on the mark. Exactly on the mark. What the??? I’ve never had this happen before. No clicks required on elevation or windage. Freaky….

You must be living right!

That's awesome! I have been mounting a laser to my gun when swapping scopes for the past couple of years and haven't had to waste a pellet re-zeroing. It is a great feeling!

I have to laugh, because I am imagining my reaction to this situation, that is awesome!! once in a life time chance, maybe an Omen that it BELONGS.

I really , really, need to start leveling and torquing my scopes, I am a bit of a barbarian when it comes to scope mounting, I was never really taught how to do it properly.
