[QUOTE="BaikalMK, post: 858106, member: 71369"] Hi Guys, So yesterday (Sunday) I spent an hour at the range. But I'll get to that. 24 earlier..... I got the scope and prior to that I bought weaver style bases (alloy). Then I bought Weaver Rings Grandslam (medium). I mounted the bases, and the rings. Thank god I got medium coz the objective lens is almost touching the barrel. I adjusted for the eye relief. I bought a small level, levelled out the action and the scope of the elevation turret. tightened everything in. Pulled up the gun to my sholder and the reticles were slightly on an angle. (FU-K!!! I said)... Al-right. So I unscrewed everything and eye-balled the reticles to how it should be, I was pretty happy, got a second opinion from my experiences hunter (my father).... he was happy so off the gun to the safe for the next day. I bought some ammo (Remington Express Corelokt 150gr). Had a guy at the range that offered to boresight the rifle. He put me on paper, I was about 10inches high and 8 to the left at 100 meters. Adjusted the dials and I shot about 4 inches low then but spot on windage.... Ajdusted Elivation and the range was about to close in 15 minutes and I had about 6 shots left. I took 2 shots on one target and then two shots on the second target. then I had my father shoot 1 each on each of the targets. End result was about 2MOA groups. Now this is the first time I am shooting a large calibre rifle, previously I've had a shotgun and .22lr. So I am really happy with my shotting and the shooting of the gun. I think I might look into the trigger pull weight as it felt a bit heavy even for a hunting scenario. In terms of the scope. I am really happy. Very bright and clean picture. The Multi-X reticle was I think a great choice as I will be hunting up to 200 yards deer. I don't need holdovers much. I love it really. Some Photos.... The yellow shots are me and the reds are my father's... (we were going for the black tape) [/QUOTE]
