    I'm feeling very smug: got a new scope and fitted it to the rifle, held the rifle between sandbags and bore sighted it as well as I could. Last night went and fired a few rounds through it at 100m to see how much more work it needed prior to the Xmas hunting trips. 5 inches left and bang on for elevation. Not bad for the old eyeometer.
