    New scope was a tight fit in extra low talleys but worked out perfect for fit and eye relief.

    Well we sorted the issue and turns out it was the scope. Started with old scope bore sighted and as I tried to sight it in it kept going to the right same as before. So off with that and on with the new and no issue getting it sighted in, back to 200m off the bags was not great at all but centred, the heat mirage was starting to get pretty bad but switched to bipod and got this. First cold bore shot on bull. Far from my best but I left it there as it was stinking hot, wind was coming up and I'm down to last 23 rounds.

    Thankyou for the update and good on you for getting it sorted. Nothing troubles the mind like a rifle that doesn't shoot satisfactorily. In some ways it's good the issue is the scope at the fix is relatively easy. Onwards and upwards from now .....

    Grouse, you sorted it. Not so grouse that you need to buy a new scope.
    Hunt safe, look after the bush & plug more pests. The greatest invention in the history of man is beer.

    A bit more bang is better.

    your single piece ring/base eliminates the other variable that has caught me out twice and a few other folk too.. the scope base itself is loose on rifle... because the screws are under base you dont see them or think to check them...
