Default Cant get much closer than that

This morning i was out on the range bright and early with the Optima and 100gr BH209 - 245gr Powerbelt. I mainly wanted to get it sighted in close enough so when i change over to thors, it will be on the money. Had some issues due to the heat " 85* " and so i packed up the rifle and took it into the house, cleaned it and set it aside for this evening.

I found an old target from the blind shooting days when i had to put two 2" orange bulls eyes side by side to see what i was aiming at. This target was supposed to be for 50 yards but now that i can see what i am aiming at again, it was a bit to big. But it all worked out well.

These suckers help!


A bit hard to see due to the sun setting but the fuzzy eye sticky is in the upper corner of my glasses. Its pretty awesome though because when you look through binos with it, you actually see clearer through them. Mainly the pic was for Ray


My one and only shot and it was perfect. 100 yards


I ended up blasting off 7 shots just for fun and get used to having this thing on my glasses. I tend to mis-align my front sight and have it off to the right side so this is something i have to practice with through the summer and correct it.

7th primer was still in the gun.


I also had been shooting the V2 throughout the day while the Optima was inside the house. I fired 12 shots through it without any issues and she was crisp and clean at the end of the day.
