Well, I finally shot a Master Rifleman score (48/50) at the Bedford, IN event this past weekend and managed to back it up with a 45/50.
It was a HOT weekend and when I shot the "Morgan's 13" target Saturday morning I wasn't even on paper. Doh! Not sure what happened, but I torqued down all the scope mounting screws (took the opportunity to move the scope a little farther forward while I was at it) and ring screws but was still off. By a LOT. A 5-square or two later I was finally dialed back in. Had no problems with my zero drifting the rest of the weekend.
Lesson learned: make sure that you have your rifle zeroed and bring tools, etc. with you to fix most of the common stuff.
