Will there be a loss of zero? I dont mean will the zero be the same for the two rifles, i mean will the scope stay zeroed after you put it back on the orig. weapon?
Let me clarify, I have a 556 and an FN FAL. I have a single 2.5-10X IOR scope, mounted with Warne QD rings. The scope has zero stops, so you can set your zero correspond with the number 0 on the turrets, so after compensating for wind you can just turn the turrets back to the number 0 to get back to your original zero.
What I'm thinking of doing, is using the same optic for both rifles, but primarily for the 556. I would like to be able to take it off the 556, put it in the FAL, then sight it in for that, making a note of how far off it is from the 556, then when I put it back on the 556, I won't have to sight it in again, just return the knobs to zero.
My question is this. Will clamping the rings down onto a different rail than they were zeroed for change anything, so that the scope would no longer be zeroed when mounted back on the 556?
I know that sounds a little convoluted but I hope it makes sense. Thanks for any replies. This is a temporary solution by the way, just a way to be able to shoot the FAL at range until I get it its own optic.
