I hate being half a click off zero

[taliv]

After my rifle fell off a side by side while I was going up a mountain yesterday, I tried to rezero last night. Shot 2 rounds same hole right target. But forgot my tools so could slip knob.
Today I shot one and confirmed it was same spot as last night. Then dialed up one click and shot one then left one click and shot one. Sure can’t complain about the accuracy but I hate trying to decide whether to zero a bit left or right. I usually go left and let spin drift nudge me to right at long range lol.

the only thing worse is the vortex scopes that zero without clicks so you can put it exactly where you want it. It’s worse because I’ll send 87 rounds trying to get a perfect zero lol. Ugh.

I go right and always shoot south, for the prevailing westerlies.

I haven't seen a good 1/8moa per click scope in a long time.
Or if there is its thousands of dollars and out of my price range.

This.

If the scope is off axis, it doesnt work as well.

That would be cool, assuming it actually adjusted 1/10moa.

No never.

Perfect is the enemy of good enough. For me, it is only necessary to be able to hit the heart~lung~liver region, not to pick which hair to split while doing so.

Just like in that Angelina Jolie movie.

"...half a click off zero" - I've been a 1/2 click off zero for years. You get used to it.
