Thread: Three shots

Scope on 10x sfp which makes the mildot moa 1".Some of my 100yds zero single cold bore shots sit about 1/2"above zero.So shooting out to 200,300,400 yds show the zero needs to back off 2 clks.Those target circles are 2''3"4" in diameter,so im shooting just above moa using Hornady Superformance 165gr ssts.
when scope is on 16x,its just to hard to hold mil dot on target dot steady,but on 10x is perfet and parralax is good.When aiming i hold rifle on target relaxed and shut my eyes for about 20 seconds and open to see a clear target for about 2 seconds.I do this several times checking rifle stays in the one spot as my breath exhales and sqeeze of the trigger. There was about 20 minuts between each shot,barrel stays cold and dirty.
Yesterday the lake was mirror,very little breeze,range shoots nor west,but on the first shot there was a slight westerly breeze which moved my 400yds shot slightly left 2inchs.Any how il back off my zero 2 clks and all is very good.Scope is a cheap $500 nikko stirling 2x16x50 with a red or green dot for night shooting.Its very accurate and a good scope model for the young guys starting out hunting that cant afford a 2k,3k scope.18 deer didnt like this scope last summer including 2 twelve pointers.
Any how look out deer next week,i havnt been hunting for 5 months.I just get the cold and flu to easilly in the winter.Have a good day guys.
