Well I got out with it today. Very impressed with gun, very impressed with scope. I was shooting a Savage 10TR in 308 with hornady 150 g fmjbt over 46.0 grains of IMR4064. The mounts are Weaver Tactical 6 bolt high 30mm rings and Scope is Vortex Viper HS-T 4-16x44 with VMR-1 in MRAD.
I thought I might prefer the MOA scope model but I figure the MRAD is easier math for range estimating. (like I will ever do that). Anyhow, no problem with the high mounts, I have some medium and low on the way but I also got a cheek riser so that may change things.
Anyhow, I took 3 shoots for a group, all within an inch at 100 (rifle was boresighted). I measured the windage and elevation adjustments by eye and made minor adjustments with elevation and windage (high and right). I then took two more shots and elevation was spot on but windage was further to the right. I then realized I had turned the windage turret the wrong way....I then corrected that and bam-bam-bam an 1-1/2 group on center. First 8 shots from the gun.
After that I removed the turret covers, put in the shims for the customizable rotational stop (CRS) on the elevation and replaced the elevation and windage turrets so they read zero.
I then proceeded to 200 yards on paper and at some clays. At 200 yards I was about 3-4" low so I adjusted the elevation turret about 0.5 MRAD and the next shot just touched the top of the clay. After that I broke every clay with a single shot and then went back and broke the biggest to smallest pieces that were left.
After that, I reset the target turret to zero and broke every clay at 100 yards, spot on.
The scope performed well and I look forward to some round development and attempts at longer distances and better groups at 100 and 200.
And my new 100 yard clay holder so the clays are on the target stand....
Amazingly, I did not hit the rubbers bands...
