I have to ask. How exactly do you define wandering zero?

I have a No4 Mk2 & a No5 Mk1 & there is a huge debate about the existence (or not) of the No5's wandering zero here. Unfortunately no-one can tell me exactly what the wandering zero consists of! Is it POA on Monday & Off on Tuesday? Is it drifting as it warms up? is it predictable or seemingly random? Is it a combination of moving between shoots & drifting during them even?

Can you describe exactly what the problem is perceived to be in the UK so we can get a fresh perspective?
Thanks.

What I have seen is that there seems to be a lack of consistency. You can have a perfect group, exactly where you want it, or a number of groups in different locations. Others have been lucky and have no issues. I will ask the actual owners for their opinions on their individual guns and come back to you. Everyone still likes shooting them though.
