Well firstly id like to thank Gamerancher on here for sending me a scope up at no cost
.
Its a Tasco 3x9x40 and without it i wouldnt be shooting yet. So again thanks alot
Secondly id like to thank Wm.traynor for helping me out with fitting scope and bore sighting it in (in his backyard).
Now 1st time at the range with new rifle. I had a bit of an issue with scope as the day was wet, i set up the gun sat down to line up to targets and it was foggy.
No biggy you can expext that from older scopes. I could just make out to target at 25yds so i fired. Damn couldnt see where it hit. So i shot another four as i couldnt help myself. Waited till range closed and all 5 were low left but in a reasonable grp(for me).

So i went out to 100 yds, borrowed a spotting scope from club so i could hopefully see. It shot very low and left, so i made some adjustments and missed the paper completely...S$#T.
Ok so back to 25yds again and by this time the scope had cleared up
i fired single shots and made adjustments till i was happy to go back out to 100yds again

Ok so i waited till range closed again to give my barrel a clean with a nylon brush, let barrel cool down and get a proper look at target.
And here is my final 5 shot grp at 100yds and by this time it started raining again so the scope was starting to fog again

All this was over 2 hour period, Shot 30 rounds through it and the barrel on ly warm towards the last 2 sessions.
Thanks again to Gamerancher and Wm.Traynor for all the help, It is much appreciated.
