I'm so proud of me. I actually got a screamin' deal on a scope yesterday, so I have my first scope that is worth a crap. :) That Remington 700 of mine is going to be mighty pleased once her mounts and rings come in.
Zeiss Conquest, 3.5-10x44

Sorry, I'll get one eventually. Last time I was trying to zero the scope, so it wasn't a nice looking target. :)Quote:

I looked at the picture and like what I saw. I am pleased to hear you have been able to fire it.
I hope she is gentler than the 7MM Mag 700BDL I bought for a trip to Alaske 40 years back. It was brutal primarily cause the group I was associated with didn't use ear Muffs. We were double d dumb.
Target aside, how does she group once you finished zeroing?
Enjoy

That target's long gone, and truth be told I am "walking" her out to further distances, my eyesight allowing. I took her out only to 50 yards the first go through, just to get used to her and the scope (I'm not a scope kind of person, I almost always use iron sights, so this is new for me). The next trip I'll go over to the 100 yard range. In the end I'd like her zeroed for about 300 yards, maybe 4-500 yards, haven't decided yet, and I can use the mildots inside accordingly.Quote:

Well, at 50 yards the rounds were going through the same hole. I'll keep you updated as I "walk" her further out.
Give it a year or two, and you'll have something like this:

RNG = Range in yards
CLK = Clicks up from 100 yard zero (base setting)
TUR = Target turret/dial reading (MOA setting, with A/B/C for the three intermediate quarter-minute marks)
AIM = Aiming point using mils/Mil-Dots (not very precise, primarily used for quick engagement of large targets)
DRP = Drop from 100 yard zero, in inches, at indicated distance
