Default bro in law is driving me NUTS

He sighted in my nephews .243 Scout on Wednesday afternoon for the Thursday thanksgiving day hunt. My nephew pulls the trigger, BANG! Right over his back.

Oh this fudgin gun aint holding on track! Blah blah blah. After i gave him an ear full and told him you CAN'T sight in a gun and then just hand it over to someone else and say its dead on, because it won't be! Ohhhh no no, Yes you can! The scopes Parallex allows you to do it out to 100 yards and it will still be the same.

So we get home,i throw the lead sled in the truck and head over to the NRA by myself with the gun, set up a 100 yard target, Boom! 7-8" high but dead center. Reload and take another shot, 3/4" group.

He has 20-20 vision in his scope eye, my nephew and i both wear glasses and still have trouble seeing. He just doesn't get that different eye sight is going to cause the scope to be off!

PO'd me that he did the sight in and didn't let my nephew take any shots to make sure it was actually on for him!

Easy enough to say that once the gun was on sight i packed up and headed home rather than aggravate myself more than i need to.

And to top it off! Yes it gets WORSE. We're in the field hunting and my 16yo nephew brough some hearing muffs to wear when hes shooting because his ears are sensitive. Bobby! What are you doing with those? You're a man! Those will just get in your way. Its unethical to wear those because you can't hear what anyone is saying to you!

Yeah? Kinda like the pot calling the kettle black especially when it comes to sighting in a scope for THAT persons eyes rather than, "the scopes parralex will let any shooter be on no matter what".


Sorry boys, had to vent BIG time. I can't stand hard heads like this guy who preaches crap he doesn't know anything about.

Hes taking my nephew out and letting him borrow his .270 which isn't sighted in for his eyes either.
