Scope for Norinco NS-522

So sighted in my ns522 today equipped with my tasco target varmint 6-24x42 and am pleased with the scopes performance and the guns performance. The gun is a little heavy with it weighing In at 8.6 lbs but I can manage to get it steady enough off hand to hit a swinging target.
This was my first time using a mildot reticule and I used it to calculate my range to 25 yards well actually 25.5 yards. The scope didnt come with a great manual but I found out online the mildots are accurate at 8x zoom.
I used Winchester 222 22 lr, which had a few feeding issues with a few bent casings and misshapen bullets. But enough with the taking here is the target. Note I did 5 5 shot groups.
I think I could do better next time I pulled a few times. But top left is my best group and bottom right is close if you ignore the top flier which I pushed the gun up when I shot it. Also when I was shooting I had about a 90% FTE as both extracters were seized. After shooting this group I used wd40 and unseized both extracters and had 0 FTE after.
All in all really happy with the rifle and scope and am sure I could get even better groups if I controlled my breathing better and used higher quality ammo.
