Default CVA Optima, 300gr Thor Ballistic Tip

Took the scope off the Hunterbolt along with the rings/mounts. I wanted to have a back up rifle this season just in case " Oh okay i just like to change out rifles every other day LOL" and so i got the Optima all dialed in 1" high @ 50 yards.

Its Super, oven hot out today and i wasnt in the mood to wait around, baking in the sun for the barrel to cool down. 3 shots at 100 on a hot barrel with 110gr blackhorn209, winchester W209 primers, 300gr Ballistic Tip Thor.



When i go out later this LATE evening i am taking along some paper towels and windex, this scope was blurry as heck no matter how much i adjusted the eye piece. Im not sure if the lens are dirty or what but its pretty horrible as it is.

I'll give it 3 more shots with the 110gr Load and then decide if i want to try 100gr BH209.C
