I had recently removed the glass from one of my CZ Trainers and took it to the range this morning to check its zero with some of the Wolf MT that I acquired recently.
I benched it at 50 yards and then fired 10 ten rounds offhand at the top bull from 25 yards. Not much POI change between the two distances. All ten of the offhanders stayed in the 3" orange bull.
I would have put some more rounds through the Trainer at both distances, but I had a new rifle I wanted to test.
I always wanted one of those AR-7s to store in an emergency tub we keep handy (you know, food, water, medicine, the kitchen sink, etc.). I finally picked one up last week.
I read a lot of reviews first, so I knew they were not target rifles. But, it will do what I expect it to do if needed.
It went through about fifty rounds (CCI MiniMag solids) without a jam or misfire. It was hitting low and right (25 yards), but a few adjustments of the rear peep for elevation and the front dovetailed sight for windage and we were on POA. I finished up with one of the eight shot magazines offhand at 15 yards on the little flame dot in the middle. It would definitely take a squirrel, rabbit, or game bird at short range.
The offhand 15 yard group by itself:
Question: I could slide that front sight blade with just some firm thumb and finger pressure. Now that it is on target, do any of you have a suggestion about how to secure that plastic front sight blade. It would move with an errant knock or bump. The ramp is plastic as well.
