Thread: Sighting in

Back in the day when I was meat hunting and then farming I would often check my rifle at 25 yards. If it was dead on at 25 I knew it was close to 3" high at 100, dead on at about 250, and that I didn't need to hold over until around 350 yards. It worked fine in-spite of not knowing the exact trajectory. If I got a couple of shots nearly touching at 25 yards I thought I was a bloody marvellous shot I used to shoot deer between 25 and 300 yards no trouble (no range finder though).

We sure do worry about a lot of unnecessary shit nowadays.

As I can't afford PM11s anymore, I am setting up the old fashioned way. It is fun and does not test my shooting any less. When I started on the forum I had terrible rifles like a Spanish military .308 and I never went after Tahr (you guys may remember) because you had to have at least a 7mm Rem Mag. If I had that rifle now I would be off. Who cares, it goes bang, get closer.

Might track the fella I sold it to down and see if he will sell it to me.
