RE: Sighting in @ 50 yds. How high?
Most scopes are 1 click equals 1/4 inch @ 100 yards or 4 clicks equals a inch of movement.......So, if you shooting @ 50 yards you would double it to 8 clicks which would equal 1 inch of movement at the distance. If I'm wrong somebody please correct me.

Sewerdude actually Iam shooting the 295gr powerbeltsHP's.I know the bad rap they get but I shot 2 deer with them last year and dropped them on the spot(last year I was shooting the 245gr)and yes they did fragment bad but that's why I went to the 295gr.One was shot at 105yds(behind the shoulder) the other at about 15yds neck shot.

RE: Sighting in @ 50 yds. How high?
Well, Got some limited shooting in this afternoon. Loaded the Omega up shot off a round that felt good. Was way off, which is understandable since its a new gun/scope. did some adjusting, shot a 3 round group that was 1 inch right and 2 inches left. Ok, I'm real close now.......so I thought. Swapped the barrel, took another shot, 6 inches low, hummmm. Swapped ,loaded, fired, 8 inches high. Ok, somethings loose! Sure enough, the one piece TC scope mount was loose, could move it up and down. I guess the guys at Cabelas didnt tighten it enough. I knew I should of just bought everything and installed it myself!
So, I'll clean the gun up tonight and put some blue loctite on the mounting screws and hit it again. But dang, I was so close. Glad it did it now than during the season
