I had some POI / temp related issues with low end scopes , I am sure the rifle may have added to the POI shift with temps also. If I use a rifle for a quick grab to shoot gun I sight it in with a cold bore , so to speak and shoot no more than 5 shots and let the rifle rest for a hour or more then check POI again to confirm, that way I can grab it to shoot a starling etc quick and know its DRT.
Back_RoadsActually that would be a very good experiment and might solve a LOT of people's chasing their tails on POI shifts!Cooler & Freezer big enough to shoot in?? You could also wait until winter in Wisconsin (next week or so??) Go for it!
