Barrel removal causes zero shift
Tonight I removed my baffeling and barrel, drilled holes in the front bushing along with holes in the frame underneath the forearm. Put everything back together and shot the gun to discover my zero had shifted drastically, low about 3 inches and left 1 inch @ 30 yds.
Spent the next few minutes re-zeroing the rifle. Is this something that will happen when the barrel is removed and then reinstalled ?

It would definitely help in always getting everything back to the same place.
We’re shooting guns with tiny pellets to what amounts to long distances (for the size and scale) and even a very, very slight difference in positioning of the barrel when it’s removed and reinstalled can throw the POI way off once you get downrange.
