So, if I duct tape a scope to the Garand....I would have to re-zero the rifle?

If you duct taped a scope to a garand you would need stiches above your eye.

Not to mention serious psychiatric consultation. LOL!

All I know is that since he taught me how to correct it, My zero doesn't change, regardless of position. Scores? Well, anymore we won't go there! My Service-Rifle and High-Power days are well over.

Addendum: Explanation in Order.
What I was doing was trying to get closer to the rear aperature with my cheek-weld and eye in prone. When you're strapped into both the leather Shooting jacket and the sling in prone you can't get as close as you can sitting or standing. I was pushing the rifle up as I was trying to get a weld and causing the muzzle to rise slightly.

Ill give that a try. I was taught as long as your dope was always repeatable run it.
