Scope adjustment lag

[Zerk]

Did you attempt to adjust the point of aim?

Yes. Was not on paper at 100.

I am going to move it back. Just noting farther back than I usual. I like it. Just paranoid with light magnum

It's been a few pages since the rectiles have been mentioned. How were the rectiles today? Were the rectiles obstructed by the hat brim? I hate it when that happens.

Rectile is good on bright sunny day. As it starts to get dark, it is harder to see than my cheap scopes.

First two shots grouped about inch so adjusted. 4" high and 16" left. Good thing I had a big sheet of paper. Over shot few inches. After that shooting went to hell. Not sure if loose or dirty, Maybe not letting it cool enough, By the it was getting close to dark too. Last time shot better with other scope.

Some times I am right on, and other times I am not.

My other rifle, I was able to sight that in.

How in the hell do you guys remember to turn the LED off? Sharpie and duct tape note????

At this point, I think it is safe to say that it isnt the gun nor the scope

I would agree. Felt good when first two grouped, but after I made adjustments, they quit grouping. I was trying to wait 15 minutes between shots, but as time went on this decreased. Be interesting to see where it is next cold shot. If it doesn't rain maybe I can get some in tomorrow. Going to clean tonight and check screws too.

Got my 30-06 sighted in. I did give that one more time to cool, it is very sensitive.

I do think either the scope, or having it farther back helped with my set up, less black in scope. Easier to get head right.

When you say shooting went to hell, how bad was it?

There's no way this is a serious thread. After reading nearly 20 pages of this and seeing a picture of how the scope is mounted.........this has got to be a joke.

2-3" apart. Again as sun goes down, and warm barrel. Maybe rushing. Most of my shooting is after work. Good enough hopefully to do a lung shot at the last minute of day light, but not good for setting up scope.

I didn't need to use any tape on the holes.

I've had a problem with medium rings and scopes toughing, not my only 3x9. i set it low power to sight in on bench in basement. Checked clearance for bolt. Didn't think about selector ring touching. Won't make the mistake again.

The trijicons are fat scopes.

I have to admit I buy a lot snake oil for shooting rests, bags, lead slead with 25 lbs, sand bags, rock jr, sock with bbs. Today tried the cadwell tack driver. Like it, but its not good for practicing follow up reloading.

Also new shooting bench. At my camp I have the cadwell metal one with 3 legs. I like adjustable seat. Also got big wood bench. I just bought the cadwell plastic one for at home. Seat height is not adjustable. But I like how the angle is adjustable. Can pick it up and carry it too.

I think I like it better cause of changing seatangle. and can move it. My camp ranges is very uneven ground though. It was a PIA to assemble. Get 10mm magnetic nut driver or insert for socket for 2 of the bolts. Plus the long one is a major PIA too.

Not sure how it will hold up. But I like it. So new variables today too.

 

[Steve300xcw]

Do you use all that crap when you are shooting at an animal too?

Do you take notes to remember what to post?

My hat is off.


This roped me in early, I quit it.






Keep up the good work OP.

 

[sbaker0029]

Does anyone live close or willing to take a trip to go help zerk out or at least film things so we can see what's actually going on?
I'll throw in $20 for gas and/or some little debbies

 

[Billy Goat]

Ok, just one quick meme.

 

[ResearchinStuff]

It really feels like a troll thread. No target photos, and it just seems impossible that anyone could legitimately try for 3 months and still be this messed up

I go back and forth. Sometimes I really think this is the ultimate troll. I just keep following like watching a shitty movie to end because you have to know how it's going to end.

Then sometimes I think about the people that are out there at the gun counter at walmart and start to believe it's real.

You work up loads and sight your rifle in off a tree branch? What a stupid thing to write.

I have put up pics of shooting. But WTF if didn't? I am lying about shooting bad? WTF sense does that make?

When you want to accuse someone of something, have some brains, and think, what would be the point? What do I have to gain.

It is a forum people talk about stuff. Don't like it change the channel.

I've had plenty of 1" groupings of 3, but also some **** up misses. The term flyers upsets people around here.

Todays though I did not have good groupings. Usually there are enough touching that I need to tape off the back of target.

Cleaned barrel, will check screws, and shoot again
