CZ 452 at the range

Trigun,

I installed the scope following these steps (seems to make sense to me):

1. With the scope as far forward in the mounts as possible, hold the rifle in your normal shooting position. (Variable power scopes should be set at the highest magnification for this process.) - that depends on shooter's body frame.
2. Slowly move the scope to the rear just until you can see a full field-of-view - optimal eye relief position.
3. Position your scope here for maximum eye relief.

I found the lowest rings that would go with my rifle and scope ( the clearance between the bottom of the scope and barrel is 1/16" and it would clear the bolt handle). The lowest position ensures proper cheek weld on the stock.

Recoil on a CZ varmint, hmmmmmm, I could not find it:p

After trying several combinations I settled on using the BKL 257 rings from Eric Brooks. With a 6-24X and 50mm objective the scope caps just barely fit on. :D
 
dudu,

couple of things you need to work on.

1. trigger control, squeeze gently, do not pull relatively quick or slap (more then likely how you are getting the flyers).

2. Breathing, you shouldn't fire your rifle while holding in a full breath, exhale slowly and around 1/2 a full exhale stop, and fire.

3. Adjust your aim point down a click, and fire 5 rounds and compare that to your previous targets

4. also relax your grip a bit on the rifle, its a caress not a death squeeze

Hope this helps, I took the small arms coach course in cadets many moons ago and that is my take on your targets.
 
macka,

You are right. I surprised myself slapping the trigger (more like jerking). Good advise, I will remember that next time I am at the range.About adjusting the aim point, if you are referring to the fact that the POI is high, I can explain what was my plan. Since it was my first time out with this rifle I adjusted my scope using Lapua ammo, which I knew it is top notch quality. Everything after that, well, you can see. I think Lapua is a lower velocity than other and that would explain the 1" drop. Again, this is just my theory, since I don't have any experience in the field. After some time at the range I will decide what ammo I will stick with. About having a tight grip on the rifle, you are right again, but I find that I can control the sight much better that way. I will try to loosen up a bit.
