Sight it in to hit dead on at 300. You'll need a big shim.
22 rimfires are normally sighted in at 50 yards.
i sighted it in at 50 yards and can hit a 20 gauge shotgun case at 50 yards. and can knock over a 2 litter botle filled with water at a 100 yards is that good?
across a table with a pillow under the gun. don't i need to hold my breath when i shoot? im new to rifle shooting.mustanger98 said:Ummm... sight-in distance may or may not be mission specific. Squirrel hunting, you only need to hit close in... maybe 25'. Smallbore rifle sillouette, you have to know the settings for 44m, and three more distances (usually metric) out to 100m. If the rifle were dedicated BR 50-50 (benchrest, 50rds for score at 50yds), then yeah, 50yd sight-in.
I'd say that's doing pretty good. Offhand or across the bench?
BTW, the scope don't help the size of your groups. The scope just gives you a better look at your target. Control of breathing, sight alignment, and trigger control on a good rifle do more for you group size.
thanks for the help on breathing. but im going to keep the see thru ring's.R.O.F said:+1 on LBH's post. Standard rings are adequate when shooting rimfires. If it were an issue, then you might as well not use a scope. Iron Sights are great, but you don't need em as back-up when shooting .22s. IMHO.
+100 on Mustangers post.
Breathing control is the most important part of shooting. I kinda threw that info at a couple deer hunters I know and they came back thanking me for it. Breath in...hold it...find your sight....shoot...release. It works wonders, just don't tell a forum or anything, everyone will be an expert then.
Get yourself whatever fits your needs and something that you like, a lot of people will tell you to spend upwards of $1000 on any given scope, plus or minus on a rimfire scope, (I've seen it!!!). .22s oughtta be fun, keep 'em that way.
foghornl, what do you see as the advantage of the 50mm? I've tried to explain to a friend that a 3-9X40 set at 4x or 5x already transmits more light than the human eye can take in. It's really all about glass quality and coatings once you reach a certain point of exit pupil.foghornl said:BTW, I also like 'Big Glass' on my rifles. My Mossberg ATR-100 in .30-06 wears a Simmons 3-9x50. That objective lens is about 1/4" above the barrel, sitting in the tallest 'high-rise' rings I could find.
we aren't talking high recoil here. make sure it is the right mounts and that you have them set in the grooves properlywhen i shoot my marlin model 60 the scope mount's slide back and they are on good. so how could i fix this?
Yeah the screw's on the mount's are not staying tight.Guyon said:First, make sure you have the proper mounts.
If so, try snugging down your screws with just a dab of purple (gun) loctite on the threads.
Lock tight you can get most anyhere. Bascly what it does is keep the screws from vibrating loose. And yes you can get them off just will be harder.what does that purple gun loctite stuff do?
and where can i get it?
and can i get the mount's off if i use the purple stuff?
the mount's are weaver 1 in see-thru scope mount's for 3/8" grooved receiversLHB1 said:Pitbull,
No offense but what kind of mounts are you using? Some of the $4.95 cheapie mounts are real junk and may not hold a scope that heavy without stripping threads. You may need a better quality mount. Again, IMO, toss the see thru's and go with std mounts. Good luck.
Good shooting and be safe.
