Thread: Old Scopes

Last weekend my son and I had a bit of a range session on gongs, just with hunting rifles. He successfully smacked the 460 metre gong several times with his 308 and 4X Weaver using hold over, made it look easy. This weekend I helped him load a few more boolits for the 308 and after he went home I thought it might be time to check my 308. Haven't shot it in maybe 3 years. Down to the range, 3 shots about 50 mm left of centre and a tad high. So moved it 6 clicks left, 2 down. Next three shots were a tad low, and a tad to the right. At that point I remembered the old Kahles was 1/2" clicks and took it back 1 and up one. Then 3 shots on a 150mm gong at 235 metres, smack in the centre, and just under the horizontal - job done. Gotta love them old Kahles scopes that move exactly as they should, no dicking around, and crystal clear to look through.
