Hi All,
I went to my local range yesterday and brought my rimfire rifle and revolver. First I shot my CZ 452FS (22LR bolt action with iron sights and a Mannlicher style stock). I shot at 50 yards and 100 yards. I shot cheapie Remington Ammo (from Wal Mart) and CCI minimags. at 50 and 100 yards I got some nice groups with the CCI minimag ammo. Using a padded rest at 100 yards I was able to keep most of my shots into a softball sized group. However, all of my shots were a few inches (Maybe two or three at 100 yards) inches to the right.
I then shot my Bearcat at 11 yards. Once again, if I used the CCI minimag ammo, I got some OK groups, but with both brands of ammo, my shots hit to the right (about 2 inches at 11 yards) of point of aim.
I'm wondering if there is something that I'm doing wrong to put all of my shots to the right. My CZ rifle came with a test target at 50 meters and the gun grouped nicely, all centered about the target. There was some wind blowing yesterday, but it seemed more gusty than steady.
I have several fix sighted hand guns (1911, J-frames, Sig 229, Kahr K9) and I seem to shoot point of aim with these guns. However, with my two Ruger Bearcast and with the CZ I tend to shoot to the right with these guns. Also, I normally shoot my other handguns at "combat sized" targets so I don't really notice if I'm shooting to the right. I do believe that with these other fixed sight handguns I tend to shoot straight windage wise.
I shoot with my right hand and based on some simple "eye tests" that I've tried, I think I am right eye dominant. However, I'm wondering if I am doing something wrong that might cause me to shoot consistently to the right.
On the CZ, I can adjust the windage of the rear sight to compensate, but the Bearcat has fixed sights.
Any suggestions on what to try or what I might be doing wrong (if anything)?
Thanks in advance.
