Last week I put a new scope on my Savage model 11 308.
Bench rested the first shot was off the target. Ugh. Fired again - no luck couldn’t see where it hit in the dirt.
It would have been a real hassle to move everything to 50 yards.
When I say off the target I mean off the cardboard backing also .
I have a very steady rest and I sighted down the bore at the target adjusting for elevation and deflection.
I took a shot and it was about 4 inches high and 5 inches left of the 1 inch bull’s-eye .
Estimated the clicks needed to center on the bullseye and fired again.
4th shot bullseye.
Impressed myself lol!
