Sighting in Rifle?

[careybirdwell]

I recently changed stocks on my Weatherby Vanguard 7 Rem Mag. Do I need to re-sight this in, or am I good to go. I have a rifle hunt coming up and I would like to use this rifle. If it matters, they are both weatherby stocks. Thanks

[fish4food]

I would.

[onetondodge]

I would shoot to verify.

[Jon B]

Without a doubt. ReZero

[diamond10x]

Absolutely shoot to verify. Two things I can think of off the top of my head, recoil makes the action move different in the new stock and the torque on the action screws being different than what was on the old stock. There’s other variables but I’ll just use those 2 as examples.

[careybirdwell]

OK. Looks like I need to check & zero if needed. Thanks

[Pstraw]

Better safe than sorry. It won't take long to be sure and confident.

[LWD]

In a perfect world, no. But as diamond10x points out there's lots of variables that can shift the point of impact.

I would shoot to verify.

Fo sure...

[kcmarullo]

Yes that rifle will be off.

[Raypo]

100%. Temperature, altitude, humidity, ammo, and any rifle change I would.

[Louis]

Definitely

I think if the guy in this video didn't then you don't have to either. The part is 3:00 in.

If you change anything on your rifle you should be checking the zero before you hunt with it. Especially stocks or scopes.

With a stock with a pressure point on the barrel you need to confirm zero every time the rifle comes in/out of the stock.

If the barrel is free floated there is a better chance that it holds zero but should still be confirmed.
