Re-zero after moderator

[dens228]

Well I’m glad I didn’t make a post about this. I’m having the exact same issue on my M3 with the Yokozuna. And I don’t have the greatest knowledge of zeroing scopes yet. But before I put the moderator on it was shooting fantastic. With it on, it’s high about 16in. There’s no clipping. I’ve put about 60 shots through it with the mod. I just didn’t think I should have to adjust the scope that much.

That monster of a moderator is also changing the harmonics of your barrel. If it isn't clipping and it's shooting consistently, the change of POI is what it is.

Thank you, thats good to know. Im going to try to take out 1 or 2 of the baffles and see if that makes any of a difference. So I know if I put a longer barrel on it, it would change POI. Is adding a moderator pretty much the same thing? Sorry might be a stupid question!

Pretty much any change will change your poi.

The trick is to find a moderator that makes your airgun quiet, and doesn't change your point of impact. Good luck in your quest.

Is your moderator contacting the air bottle?

Yes the moderator was hitting one of the bottles. The way the QD end of the moderator is shaped, one of the corners was slightly touching the bottle. I tightened the QD a little bit more so that corner no longer would hit and I ended up getting the Saber Tactical TRS. So after doing all of that and taking the big baffle out of the Yokozuna, and very little scope adjustment’s its on target. Thanks for the help everyone. Next thing is Tuning. FX chrono is in the mail!
