I'll be the first to admit, I am not a marksman especially with irons. But today after I punched myself in the face several times with the recoil, I realized that my margin of error in group size is coming from being too far up on the rear sight. Backing off, my groups shrank width-wise to less than an inch at 100 yards. I'm getting some vertical stringing but this is Wolf 7.62 x 39. I got this rifle—my CZ527 well sighted in with the irons and locked up with thread lock and a couple of punch stakes.
I moved on to mount the scope and zero that but didn't even get past bore sighting because the Leupold Ultraslam 2-7x33 was showing me 2 red target centers. I got a second opinion which confirmed a faulty scope. I took the scope back and swapped for a Ultraslam 3-9x40...(pictured below) a little bit bigger than I wanted but still doable. The eye piece is the same—so clears the bolt and the objective lens tucks in right behind the rear sight. This one looks better/clearer. I will do a report next time out with some photos.
