well...took my a-bolt out to range before the trip to the mtns this past thanksgiving and man was i right about that wacko at dick' s. i maxed my scope out and i was still a foot and a half to the right. had to take it to bass pro and get them to re-mount everything. what a joke! so anyways...took it back the next morning and got it sighted in. i was really pleased with the 7mm WSM, BUT WHAT A HECK OF A KICK!!!! pretty vicious, but i only weigh about 140 and not exactly stalky. anyhow...the problem is solved. thanks for all the input......oh, and i didn' t even get to shoot at a deer on the 3 day hunt. pretty disappointing, oh well, at least im able to get out there and enjoy His creation. God bless you.
