Finished zeroing my birthday scope on the 770 30.06

[CoalCrackerAl]

The family got me a Center Point 6-20 X 50 scope for my 30.06. 100 yards today, I had a Simmons 4x12x40 on the rifle. I have to admit the C.P isn't a bad scope. For what it is. After i was done zeroing it. I worked on the long range gongs. And cranked up the magnification. It was clear. I did some zeroing at 50 yards the other day. Today was tweaking it. Light loads. With Accura outdoors 120 grain spire-point plated bullets 16 grains of green dot powder. EST 2000 FPS. I'll chrono them later.

@CoalCrackerAl what's green dot powder?

(Happy birthday,by the by)

 

[CoalCrackerAl]

Green dot is a shotgun powder by Alliant. But it can also be used for cast loads in rifle and handgun or plated bullet loads in both. And thanks for the happy B-day.

I'm such a trog, I thought it was like a type of powder you added to the bullet. Maybe like a tracer powder, or something to make the hits appear better on paper or steel.

It's ok. Never hurts to ask a question. Always good to learn new things.

Looks like you’ and the ‘06 will both be ready for opening day .

I put a Center Point on my CZ 455 Lux. It’s been a good little scope on my rifle .

Happy Birthday… and many more to you! (I’m also a late august baby.)

Stay safe.

I should take that one out. I always used my 760 in 30.06. The old 760 has a steel tasco scope on her. I have a Center point on my CZ 457 22 MAG. It works well.

Happy birthday and congratulations on the new rifle/scope combo. i had a Remington 700 in 30-06 a few years back with a center point scope when they first showed up, great combo and they handled the 30-06 very well, never lost zero. The current owner still uses the same scope and it’s going strong.
