I've got a King Quad the wife gave me when my health went the wayside and it became the only way for me to get in the woods, and make it out again.
One of the first additions I put on it was Koplin gun racks bolted to the front carrier. During archery season the Nikon on my Xbow changed zero,twice. I rezeroed and finally sent the scope for warranty repair, which seemed ok. During gun season the Leupold 3X9X40 on my deer gun went out of whack by a few inches @ 100 yards, when a deer I shot wasn't hit where I was holding, and after the archery scope thing, I checked the zero. Both guns were carried in the rod rack only a few times, but both changed zero.
Leupold said the scope checked out fine, they couldn't find a problem, but just in case they replaced something they felt could possibly cause it. Whatever they did, it does seem to hold zero now. My question is has anyone on the forum experienced some questionable equipment failures after a scoped rifle/Xbow suddenly lost zero? And was carried in one of those on-the-rack gun carriers?
The Nikon? maybe. First one I've owned, but the Leupold? first one I ever had jump zero.
Thanks in advance for your input.
