    The 17 Hornet now even more deadly

    I've just swapped out the Weaver Grandslam 4.5-14x40 AO on the 17 Hornet with a Superslam 3-15x42 with side parallex. Better glass, easier to adjust focus (especially when the big maxtoch is mounted on the scope) and better turrets for dialing faster.

    I've been running another Superslam the same on a deer hunting rifle for a few years and rate it. Best get out and zero it tomorrow before hitting the orchard again.

    She's zeroed ready to go, 3 at 200 yards in a bit of a wind.

    Yeah should make another video. Might need to wait until I get onto the new orchard tho, there's bugger all bunnies left on the problem orchard I've been shooting.
