Thread: More 3 shot group fun!

It's all about matching the reticle to the aiming point. I remember watching Steve Blenkarne shoot a 10mm at 100m group with a aperture sighted .308 target rifle using about a 6" bullseye as an aiming point. One of my scopes has a central dot of about 30mm/100m, and I just draw a diamond slightly larger than that and the white showing around the dot very quickly shows if the sight picture is off.

My 44mag had complete strip down and stock refinish so a zero check was needed.1st shot left and high 2 more quick shots gave me rough zero. Adjusted scope and fired 3 carefully aimed shots and called it done. Then checked the 41 mag 1st shot from cold clean bore then 3 for a group. Good enough for me 0 to 125yds.
