I finally got organized and had all my tools and parts in the same place at the same time. My friend has a Bushnell boresight and we installed it in my Greywolf with a Simmons 44Mag 6.5x24(?) scope with mildot and target turrents that I purchased from Natchez Shooters Supply(It's in their flyer and SGN). I know its not a highend scope but the Leupold I want with a varmit reticle I want is priced in the $800 range(maybe later).
Anyway, after setting up targets, tarps, boxes, etc. We proceeded to set up the boresight and lined it up with the scope. The knobs on the scope were screwed all the way in so I turned them to line up and did some test shots and was happy to be only about 2clicks high and 2clicks right of the center dot of the target, this was at about 30 yards.
So after settling down and concentrating on the target I put four rounds in a fifty cent sized group.
I'm happy with the rifle as I had a minor problem with the bolt not closing with more that 2 rounds in any mag I had. I removed the bolt assembly and cleaned, inspected, and lubed everything and this cured the problem. I had noticed the charging handle was stiff so I think it may have been the problem. Always check the simple stuff 1st.
Now I need to mow a spot in the pasture canyon and set up a long range shooting area. I hope to get up to about 600 yds. Any suggestions on targets and range setup. I'd like to make it a permanent area, but will have to deal with strong winds and snow in the winter months.
