Thanks. Doing a lot adjustment and finally find out that the scope is leaning toward right becasue the srews on each mount side are not equally tightened... So the former sight-in work won't fix this problem totally. Re do it and will try flat nose and round nose tomorrow if not rainning.
Flat nose- guncity Round nose- Winchester (made in Spain so is good?) Will try: rest-sandbag normoal standing an alternative pose of artillery hold (fold left arm, use the elbow to hold the gun, left hand grabing right wrist rather than use left hand to hold it)

I bought a new BSA scope recently which was factory fitted on its rail mount. But I thought I would check it with my Accutech level and sure enough it was off. I suggest you consider this if you don't already have one: https://www.guncity.com/accutech-reticle-level-kit-379898 I don't bother with a cleaning set. Just Rem Oil and paper towels. If your rifle has a factory fitted and fixed moderator like the Gamo and BSA, then bore cleaning is a risky proposition. Personally, I don't bother. Its not like there is combustion as in a powder rifle. I have a safe dehumidifier which I pull out every week or so and plug in overnight. Definitely an item worth having if your rifles are stored in an enclosed location like a safe (as they should be).

I use a string line with a heavy weight which I line the vertical cross hair up with, and a string line bubble level on the rifle on a flat machined face(usually one on top of rifle somewhere) for setting scope.
Have used the edge of builders level instead of string line. Though what you suggest is a way more practical solution, and can be used to make sure you arnt canting rifle when shooting. |

I filled my sandbag with newspaper, which is too light... Also the table is too low that I can merely put my cheek on to the stock...

By the way, tried a brand new surgemax. I am happy with my second hand one becasue the new one seems 1.5times harder to cock and louder... and the maybe because it is cheap, the safe is very very tight on the new surgemax. Cannot open it with hand, and we finally use a lever to open it... this is really not reasonable design. After about 5 shots, the new surgemax's safe is lighter and can be shifted by hand but still very very tight...and my second hand one is just as smooth as a normal safe
Wondering will the new one be more powerful? donnot have good materials to test power for now, so just guest for the louder sound and harder to cock. Edited by CuteRabbit - 05 Feb 2023 at 3:47pm |
