Group Therapy due to new scope

[fljp2002]

Just picked up a Diamondback Tactical 4-16 to replace my Cabelas 6-24 on my CZ 455.

Spent the morning sighting it and shooting a few therapeutic groups.


This was the first group after I had the scope dialed in. Prone with bipod, SK Standard ammo at 50 yards, Just under 1/2 inch

Then I moved to 100 yards and shot some group with SK Rimfire Match and Eley Force. All three were under 2 inch (the wind was picking up)

Moved to 218 yards (Why 218 and not 200, because that is were our berm is placed)

Was aiming for the green part of the gopher and wind was pushing everything right by 4 inches. The group was just about 4.5 inch.

Then i finished by placing my 4 inch steel target at 200 yards. I missed the first shot but then rang it 4 times in row. I did it it a few times at 218 as well.

So far I like my Diamonback Tactical. the turrets are crisp and the parallax is nice. Very clear glass,

Sounds like your building yourself up to try the 1/2" 50yards challenge.

Dont forget that when you shoot 100yds or beyond you will encounter spin drift to the right as most rimfires are 1-16 right hand twist. YES it will move bullet impact to the right. Also noticed your Caliper reading was 0.6130" which means the group size is actually 0.394" using a slug diameter of 0.219". Good shooting and you are on the path of the 1/2" club. Cheers Chris
