I reported on the new 25-06 Ruger last week. I took it to the range today. I had mounted my new Aetec 2.8x10x44 on it the other day. I stuck the bore sighter on it and without touching a thing, it was right on the crosshair. The first shot today was dead center and two inches low. After one adjustment I moved the target to 100 yards where it put 3 factory corlokts in 1/2 inch. I had reloaded a few 100 grain ballistic tips and it put three of them in a little smaller group yet. I had a box of Federal Premium 100 grain XLC factory shells. It grouped them into about 1 1/4 inch but 2 inches high and two inches left. I had a box of Winchester 115 grai Ballistic silvertips but the wind came up before I could try them. The wind also cut my session short before I could set up the chronograph. Maybe I will get another good day soon.
This new Aetec is so sharp and clear that I can't believe it. I have several and I don't know what more a guy could asy of a 125 dollar scope. None had ever changed point of impact in the slightest and they have all been crystal clear.
