Scope and Sighting In Questions
Hi all, first off, I just signed up here, and I gotta say, this is a great site. Lots of great information on here. I'm fairly new to ML'ers, but am learning a lot, so thanks.
Next, my wife got me a Knight KRB7 for my birthday. I love the way it feels and shoulders. I haven't had the chance to shoot it yet, but I'm hoping tomorrow the weather will cooperate and I'll get out to the range to try it out. Anyway, I live and hunt in central-ish WY, so I need a gun that will shoot out to a hundred yards. I have a scope I'm going to mount on it, and here's my problem -the back of the scope hangs over the action. This makes dropping a primer in a little bit of a problem. Cleaning it isn't a big deal, as the whole thing drops out so you don't have anything in the way. My question is if I would be better off to get some higher rings for the scope, or get a priming tool and just fight with it a little. I really like the way it feels with the low rings on it, so I'm a little torn.
Also, I've never had a new gun before, and everything I've ever used was my Dad's that was already scoped and sighted in. So, what's the best way to go about sighting in a 3x-9x scope on a ML? I know that's kind of a broad question and all, but any help you can give would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again and I love the site.
