Hey everyone,

I’m considering putting the system on several rifles and several scopes, but I’m concerned about whether everything will stay truly zeroed when swapping optics between rifles.

To be clear, I’m not asking about QD return to zero after removing and reinstalling the same optic. I’m asking how precisely the entire multi-rifle/multi-scope system can be calibrated in the first place.

I have always loved large bore doubles, especially in the older/larger calibers. My W.J. Jeffery double in 8-bore 3.25" is easily my most prized possession! But lately I have had this obsession with 577 NE double guns, I can't stop thinking about them!
