Is this true of shotguns as well? I've had trouble with it the last few years, it always seems to be off even though I take it to the range before hunting. I assumed it was due to user error with the gun rest the first year and different loads shot through it while sighting in the second (cheaper sabbots at the range and the good remington copper solids while hunting). Maybe it gets progressively off with the recoil...

Thoughts?

Don't have access to the gun right now and don't remember the exact model of red dot but it looks like this one (tactical red dot);
