I am not sure of …
I am not sure of your specific setup, but on mine in particular, my laser would get off of zero more frequently when I had it mounted on the bottom rail, so I mounted it on the top rail in front of the scope. Zero is much more easily maintained, and when I adjust it, it is very minor with thumb screws. If I get a little suspicious about it staying on zero, I use a Laserlyte bore sighter, and that quickly resolves any questions about its accuracy. I highly recommend them, even for a scope.

I always get a kick out of the people that defend the HOSP and starling without ever seeing what they do to songbirds. They wiped my purple martins out and forced my other songbirds to relocate. I’ve been bird watching for 25 years and seen way too much out of the starling so I now have an air rifle and I am slowly taking my 2 acres back from them also I purchased the “ultimate repeating sparrow/starling trap” and can catch 30 a day just google the trap it works great. I then destroy the birds.

Excellent job, dude …
Excellent job, dude! I can’t stand Starlings & House Sparrows. One pet peeve I have is when people put out feeders/nestboxes for decor or for any bird to enjoy. They don’t even realize what they’re really doing. I’m hoping to eliminate some birds myself. If no one’s going to do something about their numbers, then I guess it’s up to us!
Anyways, keep up the good work shooting them.

09/13/09 Update: Yesterday, I noticed that one more Starling had joined the other two, but today I took out another Starling, so I am back down to 2 in my area, at least until I have the opportunity to pick them off, or more Starlings come along to join my Starling Death Row.

Thanks PE and some …
Thanks PE and some folks will never understand until it’s too late then they will say huh maybe we should have done something about that. The favorite arguement is that they are doing what comes natural which is great since that is what cold blooded killers do too but we can’t have them running around the general population.

Sorry to hear about …
Sorry to hear about your purple martins. It can take time to get the starling activity and population down, as it appears more “replacements” are coming in, but just keep at it. Eventually, you will notice their numbers dropping or becoming non-existant, and some of the native birds gradually returning later.
