I have a sightron 36 x mounted on my 223,so recoilis very mild..Anyway it's less than a year old..Is it possible for it to have gone bad
already..When making adjustment it seems to be wild..It has 1/8 adjustments....Had to quit at todays shoot. Bullets flying all over..
And I doubt it was the light wind at 300 yards....Is they qnyway I can check it to see if it is the adjustment or not..Will a bore sighter work
Appreciate any advice on this..
 
Ok here is the results..After getting it back on paper,only took 2 shots to do so..Any way I did the box test there 50 yds
to start with...Approx. 15 inch square..Seems to be adjusting alright..So, moved out to 100..Did another test..16 up and 16 over
32 down 32 left 32 up and 32 back right..Everything looks ok..So now I am thinking the barrel is at faught..Or perhaps
my loads ARE just wrong for the 7 twist....But the honadys,noslers and berger's I have tried all say for 7 twist or 8 or faster.
I know it aint got a long enough chamber probably for someof the bullets to work well..223 Wylde chamber..I never told them to
cut it longer...So,back to the drawing board..
