I could not find this anywhere, but do remember reading that people change their zero's for winter so that may be a contributing factor since I last zero'd my rifle in 70 degree's of dry desert heat, and now I am shooting in the sub 40's. Though, I am not sure if that can make a huge difference.

I used the same rifle, same ammo, to confirm my zero and it shifted 3" right.

Anyone experience this?

Zero range, ammo, barrel information? Position, supports, etc?

Most likely variable here is the shooter...

I would agree with skin top if it had been an elevation shift it may be a change in velocity from temp or different elevations but I would be suprised by that much change.

3 inch right isn't a weather issue.... unless you checked it in 15 mph full value wind.

None of my firearms but I had to re-zero a bunch of other things in my life when we moved our primary residence up here to MN from AZ... :suicide::lol:

Yeah it must have been me. If it's not snowing in two weeks I will go shooting again and confirm.

How was your firearm packed and/or transported for your move? Could your optic have been bumped hard enough during your move to have done it?

Nope, cause the irons were the same. I'm guessing it's just me.
