miffy Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 You'd need a bigger backstop than that for some of the guys that i've seen shoot :thumbs: :blink: Glad to see the first pic aint of a backstop tho !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miffy Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 Do you normally zero the .22 at 110 yards ?? Do you normally shoot the 55g sako ammo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Posted March 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 Do you normally zero the .22 at 110 yards ??Do you normally shoot the 55g sako ammo? I usually zero the .22 at 60 yds. I just wanted to see how it performed at 110, as thats the range at my range. Also to see how much hold over i need to make with my scope. I use the sako 55 gr in my .223 from time to time, as they seem to group well along with the Federal premium 40 grain Nosler Ballistic tip factory ammo. :thumbs: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted March 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 Frank, I've a spare lifejacket I don't use if you need it for retrieving your targets, hate to see ya lost in the swamp (pic 4) mate :thumbs: Yeah, it is a bit mucky and wet their alright , the range is still under construction and will be completed at some stage, all in its good time over here, as you probably already know John. :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miffy Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 (edited) Not much, but i really enjoyed me self and its a good idea to have a range session every now and then. I need to get my rifles zeroed properly and i have got a day organised with deadeye I've in April. I hope it all goes ok :( Tried my .22/ 250a week or 2 ago and it was out a bit :*) :*) , i haven't tried it for months and i will have to get to the range more often!!! I haven't even put a shot through my .308 in about 18months so that will have to get an airing too.......might take it foxin soon? :thumbs: :blink: Edited March 29, 2006 by miffy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferret Master Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 Hi, Even being in the car boot can send a scope a bit out through the vibrations of traveling. FM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miffy Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 (edited) Hope you and Ive have a good zeroing session. Its good to go and check your zero from time to time, its a must with me. To be honest i got lazy when it came to zeroing the 250 it clover leafed time after time and in the end i never bothered to go. I haven't missed a fox but when i tried the new .17 a few weeks ago i decided to take the .250 just to check, it shot higher and a bit left than normal :*) :*) Looking forward to the zeroing session with I've but i hope the gun don't let me down Looking forward to the zeroing session Miffy ...........Even if you are a biker Edited March 30, 2006 by miffy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
