Default RE: Targets - Sighting In



I bought a new scope the other day from MidWay USA. It is a 3-9X40mm Sightron. Excellent clarity, and easy focus. It has a 4.6" eye relief on 3X and 3.6" on 9X so overall it is an impressive scope for the money. A long time ago I asked poster Triple Se7en his opinion on a good quality scope that was worth the money. He suggested a Sightron. Life time warranty. Anything breaks they replace the scope. Simple warranty I guess from that stand point.

Anyway this was sighting it in at 50 yards today (Sightron suggest sighting in at 50 yards) I knew the Wolverine II shot excellent with 85 grains of Goex 3f and a 240 grain T/C Mag Express XTP so as the target shows, I fired two to check the scope. Made a slight adjustment to make sure I was moving it the right way. Then a major adjustment on shot #4 and finally #5 & #6 were in the bull. After that I just had some fun shooting. The XTP's group a little high and to the left, then I shot some Barnes 250 grain .451XPB Causell Cannelure bullets in black high pressure Knight Sabots. They hit a little low, so I upped the charge to 100 grains of Goex 3f and brought them up some. I think with a little work these XPB's which are very close in design to the Barnes Expanders but cheaper, will make a good bullet.

Next stop is the 100 yard station for final adjustment of the scope.
