Sighting In The Vortex Scout Scope
Finally ...
I won't BS ya'll, after some initial struggling I called on the RO to assist my efforts.
I was trying to short cut the procedure using a one shot method ... didn't work.
The RO said shoot a three shot group and adjust the cross hairs to there.
The three shot group in the box and the result of a second three shot group
after aligning the cross hairs.
Okay, moved a fresh target to 50 yards and shot another group without any adjustments.
I can live with that !
And finally moved another target out to 75 yards,
Got a surprise, expected POI to be high and it was low. Should have tweaked the scope a
tad but just applied a little KY windage and let it go at that.
Conclusion : Really like the Vortex Scout Scope for my ole eyes. Was set at 7X max, clear as
a bell and sharp. Was shooting my favorite 158g RFP Xtremes over 5.1g Tite Group. Pretty
sure I could move out to 100 yards with no problem but not sure when I'll get another chance
to go.

Re: Sighting In The Vortex Scout Scope
Very glad to hear that the Vortex works so well. Looks like the ocular bell just squeaks in ahead of the ejection port.
I'm a little confused. You expected the POI to rise between 50 and 75 yards?

Don't ask, don't make sense now that I think about it but at the time ??? Senior Moment !
Next trip I'll do some fine tuning at 75 yards and further.

Nope, I've been there. I have never been so twisted in a knot over left and right and up and down as I have been behind a rifle scope.
Very fine looking rig you have there. Thanks for sharing!

Re: Sighting In The Vortex Scout Scope
what scope mount/ rings did you use? I have the Vortex Scout Scope on the rossi brand mount with burris signiture medium rings and I cant bring the point of impact up to the bullseye. I'm out of scope adjustment range, shooting 5 inches low at 25 yards even after using the +20 elevation adjustment sleeve for the burris rings.
I finally gave up and droped my rifle off with my gunsmith to see what kind of magic he can work on it.

Re: Sighting In The Vortex Scout Scope

to what akuser47 said.
NOE rail is rock solid, finely built, satisfying to look at, money well spent.
