RE: Whats the best way to sight in a gun? Having problems sighting in new gun.
OK, I took the gun over to a friend of mines house and shot the gun at a target stapled to a wooden wire spool (about 4 foot round) at 100 yards and shot off from his pool ladder free handed and put the first of 8 shots right with the 130 gr. in the bulls eye. Then I shot again and shot a bit high and right, etc. All of my shots where within 4 inches of the bullseye and then I shot a few of his 150 gr. reloads and they where shooting a bit low, but still within the 4 inch group. I dont know what was happening the other day, I am leaning towards the shooting position that I was using, and the Site N CLean rest that I was using. The wind was also blowing a bit the other day and probably attributed slightly too. I also changed the reveal of the scope a bit by moving the scope back further toward my eye. I know that there alot of variables here, but the fact is that I shot about 12 rounds in total and they all where within 4 inches of the bullseye at 100 yards. Thats a kill shot in my book.
