Hi this is John. One of the things that will happen from time to time on a deer hunt, even to the most experienced of hunters is actually drop your rifle. The last thing you want to do is be out in the deer woods and have a trophy buck in your sights and find out that the rifle is off zero. What you can do is take off the caps on the scope and take a few shot, see where the bullet is hitting, if it’s still on zero put the caps back on, if its not take a penny that I have here in my hand, adjust
the sights so they’ll be back where they should be. This is going to eliminate a ruined hunt for you. You take time and effort to be out in the woods to look for that trophy buck; don’t let a scope that’s off zero mess that hunt up for you.

Do you always hunt deer with a Ruger 10/22?

@EmberToInferno444

Thanks for the tip?

@addicted2gunz

its a nice shooting gun,:) but its a ruger, witch means that you should get used to jams :(

@demnslayer09

That's why you carry a backup gun, or have another hunter with you. So if you or he messes up the other can get it.

@firglenchainsaws

expertvillage? OK so what do we zero in on? Em...a tree?

@mainebrute

enh its a ok gun more of small game and shit but i got rid of mine and bought a 12 gage

@monseyhunt

blasting away in the woods to line up your scope? Tell me where he hunts-I'll avoid that place. 22 rifle for deer? probably needs to get within 5 feet.
