miroku4399 Posted July 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 (edited) Thanks guys There has been some very sound advice from you all it does make sense to buy some taller scope mounts at least it will raise my cheek off the stock and if necessary I can pack out the stock with foam if necessary, i will also try some of the other things to see how i get on. Once again the forum is a wealth of knowledge Shane Edited July 22, 2011 by miroku4399 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchieboy Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 Hey Miroku 4399, if we can't try to help each other out then there is something seriously wrong, that in my opinion is what this forum is all about mate!. Good luck and I hope you manage to get your zeroing problems sorted out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadioles Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 Instead of a sandbag just fill an old sock with a couple of cups of dry uncooked rice grains and tie the end in a knot, hold the butt rock steady and just squeeze the sock to raise and lower. I also go along with getting a scope with parallax adjustment, preferably side focus unless you have long arms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miroku4399 Posted July 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 Shane, Do you have parallax adjustment on your scope? you didn`t mention. Andrew No I dont have parallex adjustment, I think somewhere along the line the reason for this post was lost. The problem for me was that i felt a throbbing in my cheek which caused the trouble with the zeroing. Its not that i cant zero a rifle its the movement in my cheek that is the problem, i am away again this week but when im back im going to buy some taller mounts to change the place my cheek touches the stock.

Shane Parallax adjustment on my scope helped eliminate the twitching i experienced in my cheek usually if i`m stressed and my blood pressure increased, i use low mounts and before i had parallax the crosshair used to sort of skip/jump & parallax compensated it. your more than welcome to try my rifle and see if you still notice it, i know the fit will be out but you soon see if the twitching is noticable with a different type of scope. Just trying to give you options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gimlet Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 I'm arriving a bit late at the party here, but is the pull length correct for you? I find most rifles often as not are a touch short. This cramps the inside of the elbow and pushes the trigger arm shoulder up to towards the ear constricting nerves and veins in the neck- and therefore face. If the pull length is too short get a spacer in front of the butt pad, it greatly improves stock-weld and trigger action and will improve shooting technique in all stances. Too long a pull is better than too short. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Andrew Been away again this week so a little late in seeing more replies to the post, I have 4 weeks off work coming soon so it might be an idea to try another to see if I may need to change my set up. I will be in touch once im on leave. Shane I'm arriving a bit late at the party here, but is the pull length correct for you? I find most rifles often as not are a touch short.

Too long a pull is better than too short. I have noticed that the stock on my cz is quite short in comparison to my sako 22 so that is another avenue to look at Shane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wymberley Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 Just read through this one and am with Kent. However, really posted to thank Frenchieboy for his tip with the fingers. I'm fine in the field but have, or can have, problems when zeroing because of the old ticker (reacting to the stress of trying too hard to get the perfect shot?). I do tend to snatch, firing between heartbeats which are as erratic as the valve timing on a Lada. Thanks, mate, I'll give it a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CZ550Kevlar Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 (edited) I should have also put that i had my trigger sweetened, i had a gnat **** on it one evening and it went off, makes my shooting alot smoother and accurate. EDIT:- i`m off work for the whole week commencing Monday 8th Aug, wife and daughter are going away with my sister in law for the week so i`ll be free if that helps.
