Looking at final sighting in for the Toby Memorial Shoot later. @TimeRider has a slightly more accurate load than mine but her rifle is only wearing something like a 3-12x40 scope with no AO adjustment and no dialling turrets. Do I give her a further advantage and put on a half decent scope and give her more of an advantage? I have rings that would be suitable for the job, but not to put it on my rifle. It would make her rig about 3x the price of mine.
Yes
Yes, shes going to beat you anyway
If your setting someone up you sort of have the responsibility to do the best job you practically can
Gives you a good excuse for when she beats you!
First lesson: Diplomacy, ie, let dad win!Quote:

Awww fuck that PC shit. Vary the powder charge per cartridge on her, a cheap 4x second hand Tasco and some loose rings to start with.
Wind the trigger up to 16 pounds of creepy pull and loosen the action screws .
Bloody kids, it's enough you cloth them and put poor quality food in their stomachs, now you want her to beat you shooting.............that's whats wrong with the parents of this generation......to fucken soft....... :thumbsup:
And some blanks for sighting in
If you do the best you can w her rig it kinda justifies why you might need to upgrade your own rig........an investment in your own happiness so to speak lol
Too late. I left her in charge of measuring the powder charges. Come to think of it of any of the rifles in the safe hers is already wearing the most expensive scope.Quote:

Got it all mounted up, but sitting fairly high so have bodged up a check rest. Windage turret wasn't doing a lot. Move eight spots left and POI didn't change. Sorted now though. Will shim and zero the turrets shortly.
I think that I should even the playing field a little now my loosening the rear scope ring since she now has a dialable set up and I don't.
give her the bloody shotty mateand take her out in freezing cold to boggy creek-she stays there until she loves you!!(yeah right).ya could always scoot over here and grab a couple of my el cheapos for her use!!!!!!
