Sighting In The Vortex Scout Scope
Posted: 10 Aug 2016 12:55
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.
