Yesturday I went to the range to rezero my Tasco scope on my New England .270 (Single Shot Breach). I have not shot it in awhile and have moved twice since I last zeroed it (Still in the Army). Two weeks ago I went shooting and it was way off. So Yesturday with about 30 rounds I went to zero it. Let me tell you, it is hard to zero a scope by yourself. I bore sighted it the day before, but that only gets you in the ball park.
I got it close at 50 yards then. Tried hitting the first steel target. I could tell I was close, but not where. I asked for some help from some others shooting on the same lanes. They had spotter scopes and just shootong .22 at 50 feet. They were nice enough to guide me in onto the steel, but could tell me exactly where. I decided to go to the next target, which I found later was 400 yards and hit it twice in a row. I packed it up after that. I know I can shoot a pig at 400 yards now (That is what the target reseambled0, but not where on the pig.
Next time I'll take a friend to spot for me and black spray paint (respray the steel targets). I wasted too many rounds and time.
The good news is that my totally replaced steel shoulder worked great . Who said all Army surgeons are all bad .
