dr3w1986 Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 Hey all! Finally went out to shoot with my new rifle today. Haven't been able to go sooner due to me and my friend working different shifts. Thoroughly enjoyed myself Only problem, I forgot to take a target to zero the scope with We were just shooting tin cans (tomato soup is great for that "bleeding" effect) starting at about 15m working up to 30m. I just fiddled with the scope until it was roughly on. Well impressed with my last shot though, it was one of those half sized tins of baked beans, hit it dead centre with a perfect through and through. I was sitting down, resting elbow on thigh. Unfortunately I'm going on holiday to Germany tomorrow for two weeks so I shant be shooting for a while One thing I've noticed, the trigger seems to be very light. Scared the hell out of me when I shot it the first time, I barely touched the trigger. Oh well, nevermind. Have gotten used to it for the most part. Just need to learn how to hold the rifle more steady, although the adrenaline from my excitement was probably the main culprit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pin Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 Well done! Get some decent practice in and get those groups nice and tight. If you really only "just touched" the trigger and it fired, get it checked and adjusted, last thing you need staring out is a hair trigger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The easiest target it a piece of paper with a 'bullseye' drawn on For use in the field try taking a piece of string measuring 30 yards with you in your pocket and use this to pace out a target for zeroing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
