Hello Gentlemen,
I picked up a savage axis 243 with a cheap weaver optics at an estate sale on the cheap and today I took it to the range to find out how she shoots.
1st shot at 100 yrds high left off the paper, and i adjusted accordingly. 2nd and 3rd shots brought me back to center and final adjustments on 4th shot put the fifth on the bull.
6th shot i pulled right about 2 inches, but dead on for elevation so i felt confident that I had it zeroed out,
7th round hit one inch up 2 left (i figured thats me)
8 through 12 contiue to walk up and to the left about one inch or two per shot getting worse each time.
eventually it settled in right where it started when i pulled it out of the case.
last shot i aimed at the bottom right corner of the paper and hit the bullseye.
i packed up and headed for the house trying to figure out whats moving and why.
Any help and or critisms welcomed, Im here to learn.
Thx in advance
