dob Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 Got my new rifle on sat ,zero it at 50yrds then moved back to 100, got it within 1-2 inches of bull ,do you think that's enough or should I fine tune it , not using bipods just a wing mirror , any advise I don't know just how steady I am shooting like that, I do most of shooting from motor at night on bunnies and foxes .

jeffo223 Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 Dob I would fine tune it to perfection if at all possible then you will get confidence in it when out in the field. Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deiseboy Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 Zero it and remove as much human error as possible with some form of front and rear rest. Even bundled up hoodies and jackets are better than nothing. Then when its shooting where you want it you'll know if its you when you miss. When your not confident of your guns zero you will be second guessing each shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dob Posted July 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 Got a 20mm grouping at100 yrds now, is that above average for u boys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gimlet Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 Have you tried different ammo brands to find the one that shoots best? The rifle is probably capable of shooting tighter and so will you be with practise, so its worth checking you've paired the rifle with its favourite ammo, but either way 3/4 inch at 100 yds isn't to shabby at all. Keep that up and its a de-nappered rabbit every time. You're ready to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deiseboy Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 Got a 20mm grouping at100 yrds now, is that above average for u boys Id be happy enough with that. Were you still using a wing mirror as a rest? different brands of ammo could tighten the groups up more again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dob Posted July 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 That was from wing mirror at target at night by lamp, that's the only way I shoot cos got so much ground to cover, got that with hornady v max 17grn, if u boys think that ok then I leave it at that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
