JBubbs 17 Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 Did a little shooting after work yesterday. Got sighted in at 20 yards and man was she shooting sweet, putting them thru the same hole without trying. Walked the target out to about 80 yards and the rounds were sailing at least five feet over it. Dialed my scope all the way down eventualy and don't think it made a difference. Had to aim way under to get an impact, so I took the scope off and the irons were hitting where they should at 100. Has to be bad glass right? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shades_of_grey 1,092 Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 (edited) Your rifle looks heavy. You do know she's not a .308, right? *edit* From your description, it does sound like a problem with that optic, yes. What is it?

JBubbs 17 Posted April 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 In that figuration it is heavy, but that's just sighting in the glass should I ever want to use it hunting. I usually have it stripped down and only use 20 rounders so it's actually pretty light most the time Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TigerMoses 31 Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 My sighting is start at 25 yard, then 50 and then 100. 5 ft sounds like a crazy variance. That was the ONLY thing you changed, distance? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That was the ONLY thing you changed, distance? Yep, just walked the target back further. Glass is nothing spectacular, Sightmark CDX 3-9, but it was still $150. I have a Sightmark on my target 10/22 and love it. Unfortunately I didn't realize I only had 30 days to register the warranty Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JBubbs 17 Posted April 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 If anyone is interested Sightmark was super cool about the warranty, emailed me back within a day, and a tech guy actually answered the phone and listened to everything. He even asked questions and told me he converted a 5.45 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JBubbs 17 Posted April 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Not sure about the mount, I could see five feet off at five hundred yards. I'll be giving it another shot before it goes back Quote Link to post Share on other sites
G O B 3,516 Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Sounds like something is loose. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hutchsaiga 93 Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Sounds like something is loose. True story. I'd check for consistency. Did you tighten down the rings all nice and even and use blue loctite? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lone Eagle 839 Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 Please tell us that's not a UTG mount you have? I've heard some were tweaked baaaad from the factory. Belarus on mine, and solid as a rock. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Belarus on mine, and solid as a rock. The mount in the op pic is a utg so I'm assuming that's what he's using. My Belarus bp02 is rock solid and straight as an arrow too:) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
