Went to the range yesterday. Did some 500 yard steel gong shooting. Fun!
I did shoot at 100 yards to try sight-in the rifle as close as I could to center bullseye. The adjustments of the scope are really bad. I was shooting sub-moa anyways, but the erratic adjustments did not allow me to move shots just right to be dead center. Sometimes I would adjust half inch to the right, first shot dead center, then the following two would be really close ragged holes 2 inches away from the original shot. The same happened with the elevation adjustments. I always tap the scope several times after adjusting. Did not work.
Anyways, Boyds just came out with the Mauser 98 inlet for the tactical stock I wanted, their "Tacticool" design, so hopefully I will be ordering one of those next week, with custom length of pull. I am a little guy, so the standard length does not work with me. I had the same problem with M-16's in the Corps. I am going to settle for a Vortex PST 6-24X50, apparently they are really good scopes for the money. I wanted a Leupold or a NightForce, but I can't realistically afford that.
More updates will follow as soon I get the new stock and scope. Will upload pictures of the stock fitting and painting procedures.
