 Attached FileI just noticed this in my CQBL-1 manual from Steiner. How big of a deal is this "positive load" thing? With my zeroed device should I just go CCW 8 clicks and back CW 8 clicks and call it good without checking the zero again? |

I have had an OTAL for years and originally paid this no attention. When shots started to wander I cursed the gun, the ammo, myself...anything to explain it. Even shelved the rifle for awhile. When I moved the laser to another rifle and experienced the same issue I reread the manual...oops. Haven't had an issue since! Even put the old rifle back in the lineup.

Does this method apply to any red dots or rifle scopes to anyone's knowledge? |

No need to zero at a range. Simply overlap your IR laser to your already zeroed RDS at the furthest distance you can see. That way your hold overs/unders will be the same without firing a single shot. |

OP to the best of my knowledge that is a Steiner-specific issue. Have not had that issue with L3/EOTech, Holosun, or Perst. And yeah it is very well documented.

I know someone that buried the windage and didn't load the turret. It never came back and was stuck on that side.
Not sure if that was due to it being pushed all the way over or failure to load it. Maybe a mix of both. I had a DBAL that arrived once and the turret was dead on arrival. Windage wouldn't move. Was bought through a third party so possibly a return where someone had done the same. I've followed the instructions and haven't lost zero or had a dead turret yet on the ones that arrived in one piece. |
