For those that think that you have to re-zero, they must not clean their guns often, or have a ton of time to go to the range.
Disagree.
Basically, for exactly the same reasons that good bedding matters to accuracy, is why zeroes change when messing with stock bolts or R&R'ing the stock.
I have much experience with this, not just with my own rifles but dozens of other peoples rifles as well. If the bedding is really good, they'll be very close, maybe even perfect (and repeatably so - good bedding does matter!) . But if it's typical factory bedding, or any bedding that puts stress in the action, the zero is usually going to change by a detectable amount.
