With beautiful clear skies and a temp that ranged from 19 - 25 degrees, it seemed like a perfect day to go shoot rifles!
I really dislike the "scope shuffle" but I had loaned my wonderful 6x (42mm) to a new hunter for the season. Today was the day the 30-30, 30-06 and 25-06 were all to get sighted-in again!
I really didn't shoot the 30-30 much. Just a couple of shots at 25 yards. It's ok there and a couple weeks ago I verified it in the field as just a little high and left at 100. So, I'll fine tune the Williams sight some other day.
After a few shots to get on paper, I went prone with the 30-06 and 25-06, shooting them at 100, 200 and 300 yards. In retrospect, I need to drop the elevation a bit on the 25-06, she's shooting pretty high at 200 yards. Too much. But otherwise all is well.
And I'm really pleased with how the BFG's are doing in the snow!
