Thread: Taking out the action - change of POI?

Almost all rifles will change POI when you take them out of the stock. One trick is to mark where you have the action screws turned to with a marker, and then match that exactly when you put it back in. This usually will result in the change only being in elevation, it seems to reduce the left and right. I don't know why that might be so.
Then when you get to the range fire a couple of shots before you shoot at target -to settle it back into place.
This process seems to reduce the amount of difference you might have to correct for.
You will always have to check zero after taking it out of the stock. An observation I have made is that less recoil seems to mean less of a change in my experience.
