[QUOTE="adamsredlines, post: 3858946, member: 40561"] So I pick this up a little while ago and finally got it out to zero it. I am shooting some Hornady hand loads that were worked up for a gas gun a few years ago that use a 50-grain zMAX projectile over Varget. I shot at some steel first just to see where it was hitting and it was about a foot low and 2" to the left so I cranked it up a bunch and shot a second shot and it was about 6" low and 2" to the left and I cranked it up again and it was now pretty good for elevation and 2" to left so I dialed it to the right and it pretty much hit where I wanted on the steel plate. Obviously with the splatter it's kind of hard to get super precise but I figured it was good enough to be on paper. Move over to the paper and shot four shots kind of quick which are the four that are at 6:00. So I dialed up four clicks and slowed down a little bit and got the three shot group in the center. I won't be winning any F class competitions with it but considering it's about the cheapest rifle you can buy and these loads were worked up for a completely different gun I was pretty happy with the results. POI moved about 1" low and right when I put the can on. Will adjust for that and just always shoot with the can. [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_20220917_184654914.jpg"]303436[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
