Decided to re-mount the 3-9x40 Bushnell scope on the Wolf again since it was my eyes being the problem. The last time i had High mounts but I got another Wolf a couple weeks ago and so I used the Medium mount off it and its perfect. Squish your cheek lightly against the stock and everything is lined up perfect.
Dialed it in 1" high at 60 yards and then headed to the 160 yard range as the 100yard range is now a BIG muddy swamp. First couple shots were far to the right and low, but not bad at all for just sighting it in at 60 yards. Adjusted 12 clicks to the left, took a couple shots and then adjusted9 clicks up and got it closer to the bulls eye. I really don't adjust scopes that much until i am either hunting or shooting for pin point accuracy.
Did have an accuracy issue with the 300gr Powerbelt Aerolite in this rifle today so once I get the pictures up maybe we can figure out what the heck is going on. I shot both the 300 and 250gr Aerolites.

Heres the Wolf with the new medium durasight mount and of course the bushnell that i remounted on it. ZERO trouble with this scope as you will see.

Now for the first target you will see 4 low shots, those were me getting it dialed in at 160 yards with 100gr BH209, 300gr Aerolites. I started off hitting pretty far over to the right and so i took 2 shots just to make sure and then adjusted over. Took 2 more shots and then moved the scope up to where the final 3 shots by the bulls eye are.
The Accuracy killer today for this Wolf were shots #3. My first 2 would just leave me smiling and giggling like a school girl and then screaming like a wife after shot #3 which always go high.

Again, I shot both the 250 and 300gr Aerolites.
Far right, 3 shots with the 250gr Powerbelt Aerolites, they impact a good deal to the right.
Close to the bulls eye again are 2 shots touching and then my 3rd high shot..
The shot directly above the bulls eye was me zeroing in the scope to get it as close to perfect as I could get.

This Wolf is a shooting mother! But on every darn group, shot #3 just would sling high a bit. I gave the rifle a few minutes between shots to cool down, cleaned the flash channel after each shot. I don't know if its just me pulling the trigger a bit hard or the fact that I am not using my lead sled. Either way, I am happy, just would like to get them all to touch one way or another.
The bulls eye in the last target is 1" DIA.

So, you want all three shots touching at 160 yards? If That wouldn't make the hair stand up on your arms I don't know what would. But if 2 touching is the best you can do, I wouldn't be too disappointed with that from a rifle under $200.00. Good shooting.
