    I would recommend sighting in at 200 if you hunt bush and river flats slips farm edges etc.
    20 shots without a break could definitely cause some rifles to start to wander.
    Check all screws on the rifle/scope mounts give it a good clean and fire 3 shots, measure the distance from group center to point of aim and adjust scope accordingly.
    Fire another 3 shots, they should be on point of aim, if not probably your scope does not adjust as it says it does...this is not uncommon with cheaper scopes, not a problem once you have it zeroed tho.
    "Hunting and fishing" fucking over licenced firearms owners since ages ago.

    308Win One chambering to rule them all.
