Got a chance to shoot this and sight it in late yesterday afternoon. Wish I could have shot more but ran out of time.
After finishing my weekly league targets I decided to set this up on the bench and give'er a go at sighting in. I don't usually do this but this was done at 200yds, from a bench, on a rifle that was just freshly cleaned and never fired before with an unsighted scope..
For ammunition I had 1 box of Hornady Black 105gr and one group of 20 handloads that were made up of some old Sierra 80gr SP left over from a 243 loaded over the top of 4 different weights of Benchmark.
Very first shot went somewheres into Gods Country, not on the paper 18" Shoot' n See! So pulled the bolt and rechecked the bore sight. It was way low and right, so readjusted. Second shot. bull high on the right edge of the target. Third shot, bull low inside the 9 ring. Fourth shot, Bull high inside red bullseye. Took another could to try and tune zero.
After that I moved to the high 1" dot at the top of the target. First shot was center bull, low 2", next was center bull right 2". third and fourth formed the low triangle under the bull. The next two were wide and above the 9ring. Those two were also hotter loads than the previous.
Overall impressions after this short session. 1. the scope mount on this rail and the stock comb do not meld well together. Found more of a chin weld than cheek weld. 2. This plastic stock has to go. 3. need to open this up and adjust the Accutrigger as this is very heavy.
