[QUOTE="aarondhgraham, post: 4314839, member: 13337"] Meet "[B]Temna Milenka[/B]",,, Czech for Dark Mistress [ATTACH type="full"]503779[/ATTACH] Reborn as in it is now my current favorite range toy,,, I now declare my CZ-512 Carbine to be my fun-est shooter of them all. I had a 3-9 x 40 Nikon Pro-staff Rimfire on it,,, The rifle was a very precise shooter with that glass,,, But it always seemed top heavy and clunky when I aimed it. Recently a gentleman on this site gave me [SIZE=2](yes gave me)[/SIZE],,, A brand spankin' new Sig Sauer Romeo5, 1 x 20mm Red Dot Sight. I mounted it on the carbine and immediately felt a weight and balance difference,,, It didn't take long to get it properly dialed in at 50 yards. Off a rest I'm getting groups just over 3/4",,, Off hand with a sling (Appleseed style) I'm shooting 1-1/2" groups. That's easily as good as I was doing with the scope,,, But the carbine now has a pleasant "feel" to it. It's just a hoot to shoot. When I raise it to my shoulder the optic aligns with my eye,,, Not like the scope when I had to "find" the target. Once upon a time I thought I had to "scope" all of my rifles,,, My eyes are old and the optics really helped my shooting proficiency. I got to thinking about my other "range toy" rifle,,, Which is my Beretta NEOS Carbine with a 4X BSA scope. I had a few Cabela Bucks saved up,,, So I ordered an entry level Reflex type sight for it. [ATTACH type="full"]503780[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]503781[/ATTACH] I took the Beretta to my range yesterday,,, I basically had the same results that I got with the 512 Carbine. The difference in the weight and overall balance was astounding,,, I may have lost a little bit of precision from the scope,,, But the ease of handling made up for it. I was nailing 10" paper plates set up in faux steel challenge stages,,, Much quicker than when I tried it using the 4X scope. I'm not going to swap out any more scopes though,,, The Nikon 4-12x40 I have on the full size CZ-512 Rifle will stay on it. I have it dialed in for 5/8" groups at 50 yards and 1-1/4" groups at 100 yards,,, That's off of a bi-pod shooting nice and slow. The 4-16x44 Vortex Diamondback will stay on my CZ-457 Pro Varmint At-One,,, It's not dialed in to my best satisfaction as yet but I'm getting there,,, Someday that 4" gong at 200 yards will be "mine",,, Maybe even the 6" at 300 yards.
