TESTING MY BRAND NEW IOF 30-06 RIFLE

[Katana]

abs_143,

Anywhere from 95k to 1.25lacs. I had even heard of 1.40 last here. Mostly depends where you are located and your bargain capabilties. the 'official' price is supposed to be 64k or thereabouts.

Regards,
Katana

Z,
SAM's got a new fangled CAM-puter leatherwood scope, with a 'box' reticle.Was interested in knowing how this will be look at 25 or 100m for zeroing....I am so used to being IN the box of cross hairs, look forward to some pics or something of this reticle

[SURFACE TO AIR MISSILE]

go to the Norma site-ballistic calculator available- hopefully you can learn to use it in a few minutes and get your zero info.Its like this when a bullet is fired, it goes from 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 inches below the line of sight-depending on what mounts/sights /scope you are using, comes to ZERO a certain distance from the muzzle -say 25m, the again climbs and starts coming down for a second zero (THE ZERO) so, if you get the graphics from the norma site, you should be able to zero e.g a 165Gr bullet @25M m and it will be good for 200m also-this is a hypothetical example...

Thanks eljefe

Katana / SAM,

The way I sight in is simple, make a paper target first, for this take a 6-inch diameter red/orange circle pasted against a white background (plain chart paper will do nicely) put it up squarely facing the muzzle at 25 yards, the red/orange circle will perfectly cover the bore diameter of an '06 at this range, assuming your scope is set for correct eye-relief, the bases secured properly and the ring screws are nice and snug, now make sure the rifle is unloaded with the bolt removed from the receiver and set the rifle up in a solid rest such as an adjustable, padded vise which works superbly for this purpose, adjust the rifle to center the red/orange circle in the bore, now gently secure the rifle in the vise and adjust your scope's windage/elevation turrets until your reticle is centered onto the circle, do this the best you can and try to divide the circle into four equal parts with the crosshairs, given your scope has a standard duplex/fine reticle, this should pose no problem.

Once this is done, check and re-check to see if the crosshairs are centered on the circle when it is covered by the bore, now you should be printing on the paper when you try the rifle out at a 100 yards, you can then fine-tune as per your requirement. After this drill I usually shoot at 25 yards, adjust to point of aim and then re-zero at a 100 where I make it shoot 1.5" high above point of aim which gives me a MPBR (max. point blank range) about 220 yards with a 180-grain Federal PowerShok. That was easy, wasn't it!

,seem pretty easy Thanks Zubin

SAM,

Your tripod could be a might tricky in setting up to shoot. You sure have brains though! However, do check out z375's bipod. That would make more sense.

Katana,

Thanks ! well I am not interested in a bipod as my requirement is of a hight adjustable tripod to zero my scope,will try-out the tripod soon and post the feedbacks

Interesting. Does that look like an improvised camera tripod with support for you gun? I hope it's strong enough for the recoil. Do tell us how it went, and how comfortable it was
