and after wrestling match with scope did you manage semi respectable grouping???

Good enough for the evening, as we were likely to be under 100m with the night vision, but not good enough to keep it the way it is.
Good initial grouping at 50 to get on paper but got a bit weird out at 100M. Scope was fine on windage but not so on elevation adjustment.
The rifle is coming apart to be checked before I swap out the scope. The front action screw is clear, checked that after the re-blue. Will definitely check the front sling screw. Cheers for the input.
