pretty much :thumbsup: it has a scew/nut combo that go's on the front to stop it moving as well, sits solid or at least didn't move while i was sighting it in, i did put some blue locktight on everything and did everything up snug,not thread stripping snug but snug enough :thumbsup:

off the bench,about 2'' at 50, the red dot is 3moa and i had it on the highest setting. off hand at 50 i can get them all in a five inch circle which is fine by me as i was aim fire, aim fire type of thing. at a hundred i could get two in the circle and the others near or nowhere near the circle :oops: ,( and i was trying :unknown:) still i was happy with how it went :thumbsup: . in the field i would take a rest on a tree for the long shots or get down on a knee but most should be 25 to 50 at least thats what im hopping :lol: ,ill let you know when i get out to shoot more than paper :thumbsup:
the pig trip was supposed to be in November,,,,,,was :cry: :cry: still it gives me time to reload for it :thumbsup: any tips on projectiles and powder? :lol:
