Thread: New rifle, scope question

Don't worry Janitar, all you need to know is the gun goes bang and if you and uncle B have set it up correctly and you've pointed the sharp end in the right direction the deer SHOULD fall over.

Doesn't always work that way though.....

No it doesn't.

But that's because I didn't set up my scope proper 😁

Bro not the levers fault. Was user error.
Was first time using new range finder with angle adjusted range.
Saw 135m? On rangefinder so subtracted distance for downhill shot like an idiot.

Yup, the blur in front of the front shoulder is the bullet hitting the ground and kicking up shit.

Slingshot and 30/30 basically the same thing.

sheesh thats rough mate, must have been pretty gutted. Good on ya for challenging yourself!

@Gibo Use this recoil calculator. JBM - Calculations - Recoil

No need I understand it completely

I was simply saying that ones statement about rifle weight and the difference between 7mm08 vs 308 not making a noticeable difference to recoil was not a good statement.
