Title: Burris FF3 Question
Post by: Xcal1ber on November 11, 2013, 10:06:13 PM
I have a Burris FF3 on my Stoeger M3500, which I use to slay turkeys. I have been wanting to do some small critter slaying with it (squirrels, rabbits, doves, crows..ect), but I don't want to use my Burris for that. So my question is. Can I take my Burris off of my shot gun, and then put it on before turkey season, and it have the same zero as it did before I took it off? I don't see why not, but I'll ask here first. Thanks guys!

Even if you leave the mount in place, you will have to do some re-zeroing.  Before taking it off, see where a cheap load patterns on a target paper, take a photo of it and save it.  When you put the FF back on, use the photo to see how much, if any, you need to re-zero.  Zero using the same cheaper load and after you get  a satisfactory result, try a turkey load at the distance you normally zero for.
