You know if you watch for him to much....he'll probably break down.

I have faith, you'll be ready. Them deer are in trouble, well at least any within a qtr mile might be. LOL

I don't wait well for packages. I usually run the tracking number, and keep refreshing the page every 5 min until it's delivered.

It doesn't help much.

Even if you get her dialed back-in this evening, be sure to re-check that zero tomorrow on a cold barrel. My guns always seem to need to be tweaked, after needing 5-10, sometimes 15 shots for sight-in, which warms that barrel and needless to say that our warm barrels shoot differently than our cold barrels.

I will miss Friday's Opener. But I'll be out there both days this weekend.

ITS BACK...............

Mounted it and sent a couple to zero it at 100yds here at home, then went up to the range. Right back to single hole 200yd groups after a little adjustment. Sent a couple after turning the turret to 3 at 300 and it tracked perfect. Had a target hanging at 400 and sent 4 rounds. Just a little higher than normal and with a calm day I made the windage adjustment. First two at 400 were side by side, about 4" high and right. Made the windage adjustment and sent 2 more that ended up side by side, 1.5" right of center. Tracked perfect. I'm ready!

Gotta love that! I wish we lived closer, I'd come visit you just to watch you shoot.

Glad you got it worked out, and kudos to Leupold! Their customer service is outstanding...always.
