Between now and next season I want to find somewhere I can shoot to 200 and see where it and I hit. The gun is likely a better shooter than me.
Im with ya on the Huntin Fever part, I cant wit untill tomorrow to unleash My ACCURA. But the dang Weatherman says WINDY, up to 35mph+, noot good.
I went with the Leupold Ultimate Slam ML Scope because it has different settings to adjust to for what powder your using, 2,3 or a Shotgun setting, no geussing like the Omega.
I dont think you'll drop that much using your load (4"-5"@ 150) I have a fixed scope on one of My ACCURA's it's set up with 2 50gr Pyro Pellets and a 240gr bullett, close to what your shooting.
On this one Im sighted in at 2" high at 50 yds, that will put me just about dead on at 150 and about 3 1/2" low at 175. I dont know where you are sighted in at 50yds but I know the bullett travels on a upward path from 50 to 100 befor it starts to drop, so Im actually a little higher at 100 than what Im at, at 50yds. So you being a 1" at 100 must put you under what Im siighted in at 50 (2" high). Im about 2 3/4" high at 100yds.
Good Luck and hope I did'nt confuse you. And just remember on close shots under 50yds using this sight in make sure you aim for the heart area so your not too high in the lungs if you aim dead center lungs being sighted in at 2" high at 50yds.
