17HMR. Me pard got the 17 mag. Be doing some friendly computition chooting...

dang scope too big (50mm) so had ta return get a 40mm...
Ammo tough ta find for the HMR finaly found some..
do some zeroing in early morning...

Returned the 50mm scope for a 4×12 40mm Simmons scope payed $10.00 more

ready for early morning test...

👍

eyes are not what they used ta be..
This twas beest grouping, bullseye tis blurring in scope...

thought new scopes came factory set for 100yrds ?
First 3 shots were low, (70 clicks up) & (50 clicks right)...
Way off.... walked it in...
Groups were close (2outa3) were touching with one stray roughly 2"...
Had an fun time, started getting warm out...




Had trouble down loading...
The black dot covered the 3 previous shots...

Pic is sideways holes were above bullseye.

There are way too many variables in a scope, scope mounts, rifle, etc. to have a factory set for a scope. That's why you bore sight.

Love my Savage 17HMR. It's just so much fun to shoot.

Have the same in Stainless, crazy accurate.

pount taken Red Pill, just got ansey, have the lazer (end barrel) bore sight..

very happy with the 17HMR, it has the he7aveir barrel & trigger adjust.
My chooting needs rework...
Home made target holders 20×30 pvc pipe.
trouble downloading pic.
Post later...


Can put 3 targets across , two rows...

You did good

Have fun with her Colt, looks like she can shoot.

Good scopes come with the reticle in the center of adjustment. Cheap, crappy scopes? Not.

must have bought some good cheap scops in past..
Did mostly open sights, 30-30 put cheap 3x9 scope (very few clicks) minor adjustment.
Me 243 & 270 Savage came with scopes. Upgraded on the 243
Minor (clicks) adjustments....

Pard bout an expensive on for his AR it was way off...
i bout a cheaper scope (same brand) it twas off, twas having troubles with old scope, tis thinking reason ....

do appreciate all the info, comments...

just never had that big of adjustments on new rifle & scope...

Mostly friendly computition shooting, maybe yotes, gophers, prairy dog...

Stay safe...
Social distancing from MN...

Let me re-phrase.

The purveyor of a package gun (sold with the scope mounted when the gun is shipped) MIGHT bore-sight the scope, but they'd have no way of knowing what load you''ll use. Whether that scope shoots to point of aim once mounted on your gun is an unknown.

The quality of the rings and bases have a lot to do with whether the scope is aligned with the bore. Are the screw holes in the receiver aligned with the bore? Is everything tightened to spec (and LocTited properly)? Is your scope tube straight?

In over forty years of buying guns, I've never seen a factory package gun sold with high-quality optics; they are usually sold with lower-tier optics like Tasco, Bushnell Banner, Simmons, CenterPoint, et al.

Buy once, cry once.

Not doughting your texts.
Just stating my experience.
First scope in pic was a Tasco 4x18 (?not sure fiirst #'er) 50mm.
Didnt shoot scopr 50mm too big. Price $89.00...

Replaced it with a Simmons 4x12 40mm, price $99.00 both came with rings...
Fost shots were way off..
Other scopes had bought (for the 30-30 & 243) were pretty close ta bore sight...

Just my experiance...

Fun gun to shoot. Hard to believe what that small round can do.

^^^^^^
Yep. Just got one myself.

Just got one with the ruger style mag and waiting to get a scope to take her out. Seems like a fun caliber

Just picked up 400rds for $120.00 @ that price gonna choot 1 a day

Always enjoyed plinking, fast draw twas a hobbie,
Keep looking @ the .22 rds price difference, for $120.00 could have gotten a nice little .22 bolt.of semi...
Tis what thought was getting whin bought the .22mag.
Figured they would be more expensive than the .22 it was cheapest on shelf...
Ohh well... still enjoy d chooten...

Very accurate mine shoots dimes at 100
