I would sight it in at what ever range your shotgun patterns that particular load best. I've seen shotguns that wouldn't send a killing pattern beyond 25 yards and some that are still good 45 yards.
I've not owned or used a Sightron, but I have to friends that have used them for years on AR platforms for coyote hunting. If they weren't reliable, they would not have keep them.
I have a Taurus PT1911 that shoots well and has never failed to feed or eject. Yours looks like it is going to be a good shooter and I hope it proves to be as reliable as the one I have.
I'm with Bruce on my shooting ranges, and keep most of my shoots hunting under 350 yards. When it comes to scopes I am not brand loyal. I have a mix of Leupold, Vortex, Zeiss, and Bushnell, but they are all variables (2.5-8, 2-10, 4-12, etc) and are equipped with some form of duplex reticle. The...
The changes that we experience with eye sight as we age isn't always for the better. I know I can't pick out objects as fast as I use to. If the red dot works for, GREAT!
If only you could find Alliant powder these days. My stock of Reloader 7, 15, 17, 22, and 26 are either getting very low or are out. For now, I'm not doing any new load development with Alliant, to try to support loads that have already been worked up.
When it comes to handloading the fun starts with the research, selecting and matching powders and bullets to the rifle. This forum, other forums, published load data, and the many articles that are written all help, after you extract what I consider to be BS. I have found that there is no sense...
I have 197 Swift Sciricco II 210 grain .338 diameter polymer tip boat tail spitzer bonded bullets for sale, $80 shipped to any place in lower 48 states.
I've used the .210 grain NPT in my 338-06AI. Accuracy with them has been about .5" at 100 yards. So far with 4 shoots I've taken a moose and 2 white-tailed deer, the deer green scored 181 and 154. I shot the moose twice. He would not have needed the second shot, but wanted to keeping him from...
A 6.5-280AI sounds like such a cool cartridge and I'm sure it will be a shooter! I have a 6.5-06AI and love shooting it. So far it has only been used on paper, steel, and rocks, but I have no doubt that it is going to perform well on game. There is just something about the performance of a .264...
My wife drove a Chevy Equinox until the wheels about fell off. Other than normal maintenance we never had to put any money into it. It was a great car. She has back and spinal issues that affect her ability to get in and out of a vehicle on both sides, and she uses a walker to get around. We...
I acquired this set of rings in a trade, and never found a need for them. They appear to be un-used. Someone can have them for $10 to cover the cost of shipping.
