[QUOTE="aarondhgraham, post: 3443810, member: 13337"] I went to the range yesterday with three single-shot .22 rifles,,, All three have new-to-them scopes that needed sighting in. [B]Mauser es340B[/B] with a used Leupold 3-9x40 Rifleman scope,,, I'm hoping this will be my long range rimfire rifle. After about 30+ rounds dialing it in,,, I was hitting a 2" spinner at 100 yards. Apparently that [URL='https://www.cabelas.com/shop/en/wheeler-engineering-professional-reticle-leveling-system']Wheeler Engineering scope leveler[/URL] worked fine. I first sighted it in at 50 yards then switched to 100 yards,,, There was about 10 inches drop at that distance,,, But the left-right windage was still spot on,,, I just needed to adjust the elevation. This is the first time I've shot seriously with this old German lady,,, I do believe that we are gonna get along just fine. [B]Henry Acu-Bolt[/B] with a new Simmons 3-9x32 scope,,, This is a true workhorse of a rimfire rifle,,, Plain Jane and pure utilitarian. This only took 10+ rounds,,, Hitting a 1" spinner at 50 rounds. [B]Western Field 815 (Mossberg 320)[/B] with a new Simmons 4x32 scope,,, Just a very nice classic firearm I rescued from a pawn shop. This scope was almost dead on with the first shot,,, After a few 3-shot groups I was hitting a 1" spinner at 50 yards. That was a very enjoyable 2 1/2 hours for me,,, Then the wind came up so I went home. Next up are three more rifles,,, [LIST] [*][B]CZ-512 semi-auto .22 Rifle[/B] with a Nikon 4-12x40 Prostaff Rimfire scope,,, Another hopeful for a long range rifle. [*][B]CZ-512 semi-auto .22 Carbine[/B] with a Nikon 3-9x40 Prostaff Rimfire scope,,, Bought on a whim it's an insanely fun little shooter. [*][B]Savage MK-IIF[/B] with a new Simmons 3-9x32 scope,,, With an old 2x scope this rifle was shooting 1" at 50 yards,,, I have high hopes that this new scope will improve on that just a bit.
