Ok - no rain today. This trip had much better weather than my last one with the CX4 earlier this month. Trying to zero a gun when your optic and spotting scope is all wet really sucks....
I also solved the loose mount and rail issue. Nothing shook loose today, and that problem is solved.
I re-zeroed my Beretta CX4 carbine at 25 yards with my Mepro 21. Had groups that even touched, when shooting 115gr WWB and Blazer Brass. What was a little annoying was that groups with the 124gr Gold dots opened up compared to the target ammo. That was going to be my chosen round of choice. So, that was a little annoying. And, I had no other defensive rounds on me...
However, as I was checking out, I saw that the range had 105gr Federal Guard Dog ammo. I've looked at this stuff before - it's sorta like FMJ, but functions like JHP. I bought a box and went back to the 25 yard range. Rounds grouped very tightly and on target - just like the target ammo does. Most making 1 large hole.
So, problem solved. I bought 1 more box on my way out - this will be my new carry ammo in this rifle. Strange, I suppose. But, some guns do like some ammo more.
I have 414 Rounds thru the gun now. Zero malfunctions. So, that's good.
At 100 yards, the gun groups several inches to the right. But, this could be me. I am not the best rifle shooter. The CX4 doesn't have the best trigger. And, I'm not gonna mess with the zero when it shoots perfectly at 25 yards - dead center.
Next time I go shoot it, I'll go to a different range and try it at 50 yards. But, it's good enough. I bought it to be a vehicle gun. It's not as accurate at 100 yards as my SCAR, but the SCAR is also worth 3-4x as much. And, it still has a better range than a shotgun - one of my other options I thought of when deciding on a car carbine.
