    There are quite a few things that can cause zero shift after travelling:
    Scope itself damaged ( as tested by Rokslide ) this is the least likely scenario
    Mounts shifted (collimator or boresight possibly)
    Bedding or cracked stock ( Ive had this )
    Ammo batch
    Altitude effect on trajectory at > 300m

    The only true test bundling all these together is to fire 5 shots at a range findered target. Be prepared to adjust zero and fire a few more 5 shot groups …
    Next best is to check when you get home and over a series of 5-10 trips you get quality assurance it will be OK next time.
