[QUOTE="vahena, post: 987649, member: 76438"] Hello again everyone, I am posting the results of my first time shooting the Mauser 3000 L in 7 mm rem mag and I also purchased a Nikon 6 x 24 x 50 scope for it. It has been along time coming but I moved to NJ and it took that long to join the one and only club in my area. I bore sighted the scope at home and got to the range , I took my time as it was 95 degrees outside and very humid,I have never shoot a magnum before and was surprised with the recoil, first shot hit paper 2.5" to the left, made an adjustment to the right. Second shot was 1.5 to the left but low, I know it was me getting used to the recoil. third shot was 3/4" to the left but 2" low again I knew it was me, but getting closer to center and made a few clicks right and up. As I was letting the barrel cool, I was thinking the rifle and scope are doing their job and I needed to relax a bit and control my breathing and such. Well I took the next three shots and felt good as the trigger pulled, by the way I had checked the pull on the trigger and it is a crisp 2 lbs, perfect, as you can see the 3 shots are a clover leaf, I have not measured but its about 3/8" moa, I was very excited to find that this rifle is as everyone has said, I decided to not do any work on the rifle until I first shot it to see what it could do and it did. I DID NOT MAKE ANY MORE ADJUSTMENT, and took one more shot as it was getting very hot and I was sweating pretty good and as you can see it is to the left by about 1" and a little low, but I know it was me and called it a good day. I want to thank ever one who responded before and I did listen and you were right, the Mauser 3000 L is a great shooter as it is, from the factory, if I were to do anything to it I believe it would be a break and free floated, as the recoil was a bit much if I am going to shoot it any length of time.
