Hi All,
Firstly let me state that I am aware of the basics, but by no means an expert, so I'm looking for some help here.
Today I headed out to sight in a recently aquired scope on my Marlin XLR 336 in 30/30 cal.
The rifle itself is only 40 rounds old, and the scope is a higher end brand.
I started out at 50 metres, and within 5 rounds got it impacting 1 1/2" high of the bull.
A further 5 rounds and it stayed as already mentioned and grouped slightly less than a 20 cent piece.
Then I moved target out to 70 metres, and let loose 3 rounds.
They grouped fairly well, but surprised me by being just on 6 inches above the bull.
Am using factory ammo.
Can someone tell me would the projectiles still be rising at the 70 metre mark ?
I have checked all mounting screws/nuts etc, and they are all still the same torque.
Any advice or solutions would be much appreciated.
Cheers
