RE: problem sighting in rifle
 

Visit one of the ammo manufacters' sites or in many hunting fairs like the one they have in Anoka MN in August, mfgs like Federal or Remmington will have booth with a CD having most of the common calibers, slug types, etc. and where they'll hit at 100-500yds. if zeroed at 100 or 200.

Yes, the slug is rising up to several inches between the time it leaves your barrel til it hits 100 or 200 depending upon what range you zero it at, what slug weight, caliber, etc.

Good luck

Lose the scope. It is not suited to your type of hunting. Even set at 6 power at 30 yards all you would see is fur (head or rear end?). Also hard to aquire moving game in your crosshairs at close range.

A low power variable ( 1.5 X 4.5 or simular ) would suit your type of hunting best. Set at the lowest power would give you the largest field of veiw for the close in shots. If a longer shot came up you would generally have time to turn up the power.

Best Wishes

Ps: The above advice comes from personal expierience. I started with a 4 X 12 power scope on my 25.06. After the first hunt I changed it to a 1.5 X 4.5 and have been :D ever since. I hunt in simular conditions to you.
