Default brother in laws Wolf

Ended up going back to my place due to the amount of people on the range so my brother in law and I got his wolf re-sighted in because he put a 3-10x50 Simmons scope on it " i forget which models, starts with an A though lol" and we started at 25, moved to 50 and had it perfect at 3" high at 100 yards and grouped great. We decided to put it dead on at 100 yards and so we adjusted, cleaned the breech plugs flash channel, let it cool down cold and then took 3 shots.


We moved to my 150 yard bench and hit it with the range finder, 152 yards. Cleaned the plug again to represent a fouled but clean BP gun and he fired 3 shots and just kept laughing and bugging his eyes out after each shot.

3" drop as i expected with a dead on sight in at 100 yards.


1 3/8" at 152 yards

Nice shooting there Mountain Devil! I shoot a CVA Wolf as well and was wondering if you could advise on what type/amount of powder and type/size bullet he was using?

Well I guess it's OK if you cn tolerate being 1/2" right at 150 yds...hehehehe
I would be willing to be that if there was no wind that the scope is ever so slightly canted to the left. Probably not even enough for a level to pick up. I mean seconds of a degree. I'd move the scope on click left and call it perfect.
That is some real fine shooting. And to think we are paying almost double for the Accuras! We must be nuts...

We might be. My Wolf was just as accurate as my MR. The Wolf kicked like a mule compared to the MR, so i'll take the MR any day.

100gr blackhorn209, 250gr thor, cci 209m primers.

Bronko, you are exactly right about the canting on the rifle. Actually its the table that settled and is ever so slightly leaning to the right. My brother in law caught on this this after the second shot but just went with it.
