not sure if this is really the apprpriate section for this thread, but i was using different hand-loaded bullets
i have nevertried to shoot anything over 100 yards, and only did one hundred yards a couple of times, my excuse? never wanting to pony up for a decent scope
everytime i have tried 100yard shoots it looked lke i hit the target from 10feet away with 00 buck, but hey, im a pistol guy
so i got invited o a 600yard shoot last week,NO FREAKING WAY!!! not gonna happen, so i got invited to a 200 shoot for tomorrow, okay, ill give it a whirl
so i go out yesterday to several LGS to look at scopes,walmart, adventure outdoors, academy, small shops etc, armed with a smartphone to make sure i dont get totally jipped; i was ready to drop upwards of 200$ on a 3-9x40 scope, was thinking possibly Nikon, meuller, leo etc
i was pretty much settled on the nikon, but i saw this lonely Bushnell siting there with a 129$ tag on it, i looked andwent back and forth, obviously the nikon was clearer, but the relief and focus seemed identical on both, and i liked the illumination on the bushnell better, it had tight clicking adjustment knobs and a nice quality feel to it
i say i want this one!!! sorry bud, thats out of stock
can i buy the display please?(it was scratched and had a big gash on the mag knob), well, you see, i cant find the nox or any info on the scope, not sure i can sell it
after bantering back and forth, and complaining about ht escrathces and how could he possibly have a scope displayed w/o knowing ANYTHING about it
he grabs a box of pre-packages scopes of the rack, scans it, and hands me my scope, FOR 69$!!!!!!!!!!!!
i saved so much i was able to pony up for the 60$ nikon scope mount
so off to the range, started at 50yards using 62gr tracers, just to sight in, finally got it somewhat acceptable
so off to 100yards with 52 sierra target
some pasters fell off, not cheating!!
so, now for my lifetime acheivement, 175yards, i know to most of you guys this anit nuthin, but this was new and exciting to me, i started with the sieraa 52gr match target and they were all over the place, i was a little discouraged, but i think the 52 gr was probably just not appropriate for my 1:7 twist, because i switched to the hornadatflat-base 55gr SP and finally hit my groove
