Sighting in the poodle shooter

[Riverpigusmc]

was it a new scope when you put it on? If it came off another rifle, you'll have to recenter the dials before sighting in

New in Box. But I'll probably have to recenter the dials anyway.

I'm actually seated at a table with me holding the rifle and the front resting on the front bag. But Pig makes a good point about keeping the front bag off he barrel. I'll give that a try.

Thanks!

What distance are you zeroing at?

Ok, cause if you shoot closer it'll be hitting low. Gotta account for the scope higth in relation to the bore.

I suggest setting the scope to factory zero and try again or if you have another scope to verify its not the barrel/rifle.

It is a bit high, admittedly. I have it on a Burris P.E.P.R. mount. I'd show you a picture of it but I can't upload attachments, yet. If I mount it directly onto the upper's rail, it will get in the way of the charging handle. The PEPR mount keeps it higher and further forward of the charging handle.

I will reset it to factory zero and try again.

Thanks!

^this. You may need to get your scope closer to the bore, although it shouldn't matter THAT much. If you want an eye opener, zero it at 10 yards, then try shooting at 100. You'll be so high you won't even hit the target stand. BTW, use Photobucket to post pictures
