Default Open sight CVA Wolf @ 100

Took my nephews Wolf out to 100 yards yesterday for the heck of it. I started off with 90gr BH209 and i was waaaay the heck off badly!



First group @ 100 yards with 90gr BH209, 250gr Aerolite Powerbelt.
And yep, that shot in the middle with some splattering was the powerbelt hitting the metal bar that holds the target


Adjusted the sights to where i thought it would be good and it was close.


Not liking the 90 grain load group, i went back home to cool down and reload my tubes with the Wolf's preferred 100gr BH209 load. Center shots are 1 and 3. I must have misaligned my sights or something because #2 went "way" off the target as you can see. Im happy though! Once i update my glasses and can see that bulls eye clear, she will group excellent with even open sights.

You need to ditch that entry level lead slinger and put a grand and a half on a GOOD rifle that will do the same thing.
Just kidding and trying to start trouble(kidding again).
I'm always impressed by the abilities of that rifle.
And your shooting ability isn't too bad either.

Use Thors, and splatter the bar instead of the bullet.
