Scoping a BSA 0.22 rifle with tube magazine

[shooter_169]

Mates I've got my BSA Fifteen Scoped. But the problem is that once I got it zeroed at 25yards, the rifle is shooting at 5 O'clock position abot 3inches from centre at 100 yrds. Help me post Pics.

Assuming you have 1/4 MOA clicks.. for 100, drop 12 clicks. This only for the ammo you're currently shooting. If you switch ammo you will be off zero again. For example with my .22 zero'd with say a stinger, will show a four to five inch drop with Tenex.

Th bullet will float around from 3 to dead on to 9 to 7 etc. It doesnt take a lot to blow the diminutive 40 grain pill around. To keep the bullets in the bull irrespective of wind, you need to hone you wind reading skills and learn a lot about holdover.
Which requires a fair amount of time, effort and ammunition (think thousands of rounds).

Good luck.

Unfortunately you can read a few articles about it, and think you can go read wind. Then you start shooting and realise that it isnt easy, and then require lots and lots of practise.
And then if that wasnt frustrating enough, you decide shooting at paint balls placed on the berm will be fun with a .22 from a 100 meters. Take into account that a paintball is about half an inch, and smaller when placed on the ground. That is something that will take between 100-200 shots before you hit you first one and make it go splat..
