You don't have to shoot at 4x to change the zero settings at 4x. However, it is .18" at 3x and .14" at 4x, not a huge difference. Honestly, I tested the 2-4x zero increments earlier on my prototype and things seemed to always work for me. However, I have helped numerous people with the Super Yoter and zeroing, and when I hear comments like, "I made a .14" adjustment and it jumped like 2"+, it always seems like they are using 2,3, or 4x zoom. Should it work, yes, but I can tell you for the majority of people, I tell them to go to 1x before going into the zero menu. For virtually every person who told me the zero wasn't tracking correctly on adjustments, when they went to 1x, everything is good. The most the scope could be off if using 1x (.54") adjustments is .27" and that is worst case scenario. I just use 1x on all my adjustments now. I actually set the scope to 2x when zeroing, but 1x to adjust.
As for remounting, the LaRue mount has been the best RTZ I have ever used including Bobro, and ZroDlta. Make sure you are pushing the mount as far forward as it will go before locking it down.
Let me know how it goes.
Thank you Sir. I took some time to test again a couple nights ago and my mount definitely doesn’t hold zero, moving 2”-3” at 100 yards. Maybe I got a bad one, maybe my tension is wrong, or maybe my rail is off spec. I’m being very particular about pushing it forward before locking down. Also experienced the issue zeroing where elevation changed when I only adjusted windage.
All that said, I can live with all of that because of the grouping I’m seeing. I’m shooting tiny little ragged holes at 100 yards. That’s something I’ve never had with any of my other thermals. To me, that’s far and away the most important thing. I’m just going to leave the scope constantly mounted on the same rifle and be happy with it. Asking for total perfection out of any thermal is probably asking too much. Thanks again for taking the time to respond.
