No correction needed to zero rifle?

[demjunior]

So I just put together me new .22lr training rifle.

Savage Mark II BTVSS.
Falcon Menace 4-14 44mm ffp
Seekins 20 moa base
Seekens 30mm rings.

I took it to the range today to zero the rifle. I put a Shoot N See at 100 yards, loaded five rounds, and got on the rifle. I simply aimed for the bullseye and sqeezed a round off...BAM! right in the middle of the bull. I shot the remaining 4 rounds keeping 4-5 within 1 inch group...I flinched the 3rd shot which was about 6 inches high.

Seeing how I am very new to firearms and this is only the second scope I have mounted I was simply shocked that it was perfectly zeroed right off the bat. First round ever loaded and fired through the rifle and perfectly zeroed.

My question is this, Is it a rare occurrence or is it fairly common to nail zero on a rifle after just slapping on a optic.

I apologize if any of this in unclear or I am in the wrong section...I figured General Discussion would work fine. I also haven't slept in a day and a half so I might sound retarded.

Either way, Thank you all for your time and any input you may have.

Never happened to me.

Get some sleep.

Shit happens. I completely tore down a Springfield M1A (except for removing the barrel), blasted it, coated it, reassembled it and when I went to zero it the sights were right on the money.

Fuck sleeping, go get the lotto tickets, and go to a casino.

Now I am kicking myself in the ass for not keeping that first target...might have been kind of neat to keep with the rifle.

HAHAHA sleep?...I WANA SHOOT!!! I worked through the night so I could have today off and hit the range for the first time in a month. Had my buddy drive my car just in case my Redbull decided to wear off all of a sudden during the 1 1/2 hour drive to the range...safety first!

Thanks for the replies, now I am going to go get me that lotto ticket.

I have had it happen with a .22 and a .50 cal. muzzleloader. Saved a couple of rounds on sighting in....

Buy a lotto ticket, zeroing almost always takes me two shots and one correction.......
