Shortwave, I'm with you!

And to tie this in to other discussions we've had in the previous couple weeks: not only are they not sighting in, but I'd bet they bought the biggest, baddest sounding magnum they could find, not knowing any better.

After all, those deer have armor now, right?

It also brings to mind an important lesson I taught my 13yo a couple months ago. We took her 6.8 SPC AR to Cabellas and had them install a Nikon 3-9X40 in Warne rings and asked them to boresight it. I explained to my 13yo what boresighting was, looked at a couple boresighters (I really should just buy one...), got the eye relief adjustments done, and left. Went to the range the next week and it wasn't even on paper at 50 yards! Initial hit was 15" high, 6" left. :barf:

Good thing I bought some of the Hornady 115gr Vmax cheap to get it close before running a couple boxes of SSA 115gr TSX through it to fine tune.
