paprotective 362 Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 Well after tighting my screws down on the Bushnell Trophy RD I have.. (after wasting 100 rounds the last outing as I did a hasty total re-mount). ALWAYS tighten rings/mnts. 25 yards to get it back on track. Then final 25 yard volly'.. Then 55 yards to re-test.. (lil hi and right) then adjusting back to the left. Overall had a BLAST !!.. Any range day is a good day IMHO.. Next Sunday (weather permitting) going to 75 and 125 yard distances to finalize it..

t3mac21 1 Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 Damn. I used the same targets. I think my groups were tighter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paprotective 362 Posted May 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 I hear you on the GROUP.. I kept playin with the adjustments.. Notice pic 1 had the 'shotout' spot. Thats when I stopped playing for that target. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
t3mac21 1 Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 good shooting. Those targets make hits really easy to see. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jimdigriz 580 Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 (after wasting 100 rounds the last outing as I did a hasty total re-mount) A bore laser used before you go to the range can save lots of rounds. I used one to sight my red dot at home. Total adjustments needed at the range: zero! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

paprotective 362 Posted May 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 What killed it last time was the fact I re-mounted the scope to the rail in a rush and didn't tighten the scope mounting rings tight like last time. I agree though a bore-siter would be ideal also. Al Quote Link to post Share on other sites
n102788 6 Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 when i bought my eotech i asked them to bore sight it for me and i thinnk the guy just hung out in the back of the store for a few minuted because i wasnt even on paper at 25yds and the paper was 2ft by 1ft. A laser bore sighter sounds like a good investment to me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A laser bore sighter sounds like a good investment to me. I bought two bore sighters, found them at WalMart in sporting good Dept. $39 and set one up for 7.62 the other for 5.56. A really good investment IMHO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rhodes1968 1,638 Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 They do help you get on paper and that can be a huge help. Outside of that Im not sure what you will get from them since a laser has some serious ballistics differences with most rounds. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
