Default Second Trip

I took my Knight Vision for it's second trip to the range today. The first trip it took was rather uneventful so I thoght that since I've had it for almost 2 years now I should knock the dust off of it and give another try at sighting it in. There were good moments and bad moments during this outing. The bad out numbering the good I'm affraid. The worst was I had loaded the rifle and noticed the scope had come loose. After taking the scope off, tightening the bases, and putting the scope back on, I loaded another load on top of the first. I had to call it a day and take the rifle home to get the two loads out. DUH! Oh well, I managed to shoot 11 targets before that happened. None too impressive I'm affraid. Well maybe one. A 50 yard target that looks pretty good. But then it's only 50 yards. There's too many targets to descibe each one so if you have any questions just ask.

#8 sure looks good... I hate that when your out shooting and the scope or base comes loose.

I took the Vision out again today but unfortunatly I have no pictures of targets to show. I just wanted to say that someone's recomendation to use 110 grains of Blakhorn 209 was the ticket. I had one target that was shot at 100 yards that had 2 shots touching in the bullseye, the first and third shots, and the other center high but about 1.5 inches to the right. Thanks for the advice.
