Finally got around to zeroing it this afternoon.
I really wasn't looking forward to it, seeing as how brutal it was to shoot. It doesn't really hurt, it's just disorienting and feels like you've been punched somewhere in the head, but you're not sure where.
Last time out, the rings weren't tight enough, so within 2 shots the scope had moved forward about 1" in the rings. I got it all re-set, re tightened, loc-tite'd etc.
I was able to get it zeroed in with a few minor issues.
1. the set screws on the scope turrets shook loose.
2. The extractor decided it doesn't like to be in the gun. I found it, but it's now missing a spring or whatever retains it to the bolt face.

And I discovered that I REALLY need a shooting mat, or something.[ROFL1]
