"You owe me a box of shells!"

[kolik1]

In response to the story regarding a customer demanding a box of shells because he thought a bore sight was going to put him on a 8.5x11 sheet of paper at 100yards, I'd just like to say your bore sight on the Nikon Monarch I got from you guys had me 2" high at 100 yards in 3 shots. 1 shot at 25 yards, 1 shot 6" high at 100, 1 more to correct. Love the scope, love the rifle, love the service.

The light transmission on this scope blew my mind, I will admit that I've never owned a scope that was worth more than about ~$250 at retail, but still...

The iPhone doesn't do it justice, but you can still tell the scope picture is brighter than around the scope. Taken at 5:30pm Tuesday.



Thanks again to Clay and everyone else at PRF.
P.S. No sales for a little bit ok? My pocket book and the wife aren't happy

Looks great. The reticle on that scope is pretty cool.

Looks great!! Yeah, guys have to realize that boresights are not an exact 'science'....

[edgeman]

nice scope!
I have a monarch 3 and a new prostaff 5 both with bdc like yours
I find them both to be great glass

I have a Monarch 3 scope with a mildot reticle that I love! I have it on my single shot 35 Whelen hunting rifle. Great scope for the money.

You guys are kidding right? Somebody actually told Clay that he owed him a box of shells because the bore sight didn't put him on an 8 1/2 X 11 sheet of paper. Wow! Guess it takes all kinds.

Clay and crew are great, and they are a regular stop when I'm in Lloyd. Missed the customer appreciation day because of other commitments, but I'm already putting on my calendar for next year. And of course I'll be stopping in whenever I'm in town as well.

We need to hear this story.

+1 on hearing the bore sight epic fail story.

For bolt action faster to look down bore, verify precision with 2 shots at 50m, adj, verify bulleye at 100m. Sighting in bolt action should be an easy 3 shot process.

I remember once seing a spec on a fabrication drawing for a barrel allowing a max non-straightness of 0.003" per foot on the bore.

At the time I drew the conclusion that the axis of the chamber end didn't have a terribly strong connection to the departing direction of the bullet.

Enough to get you on the paper, so to say, but not more than that.

And that is before all the dynamic spaghetti-barrel effects that happen during firing.
