Ok. Range report. I've mounted the Millett using their supplied mounts. It's way too high. It's a chin weld on the BFG. Any idea if low mounts will clear? They don't provide a measurement on their site that I could find. It's nice for the money. It's no NF! I get that. But for a fun toy, it...

This was a huge eye opener and humbled me. I now realize how such a tiny change in cheek weld, or shouldering makes a crazy difference down range. Planning on a steep curve ahead!

Sorry guys, I don't post pics using tap talk. It posted the wrong picture. The bottom is 100 yards, top is 425ish yards. I apologize for the pic being wrong. I shot 4 times at 100, 4 at 400+. I needed to keep better notes on my pics!

Check weld seems comfortable... Didn't seem too low. Anyway, tad over 400 yards bench rest. I felt pretty good. Top 3 were the first 3 after adjusting my scope a little. Then the bottom 3 I used a small bag under the back of the stock and it really tightened me up with no adjustments. Shooting...

Double post. Sorry

Two gorgeous days here this weekend. So I went out and fired the Savage. I am so new to this sport so please forgive me! I took some hornady match loads with me for sighting it in. I borrowed a laser bore site for my 100 yard sighting in. Damned if my poa/poi was not very close. Close enough to...

Please critique my NF mounting(DIY) I got those zee's just to learn to setup the scope without marring it up. Once I feel comfortable , I'll grab some scope mounts more appropriate. Thanks for your input. I have a set of Badger rings for a 30mm tube that I won in a silent auction for $120 new...

Ha, ok. I just threw it on there to make the pics. Thanks guys.

Cool thanks. Unlike another huge gun forum, you guys have been very helpful with minimal negative or stupid remarks. Thanks for making this fun to learn about!!!

Ok, for grins, I put the two levels on a flat top and they both were the same. ??

I will just be a range dork learning windage, range finding... Numbers gaming ammo, etcetera. My good friend who is a retired Marine sniper and instructor is holding my hand getting started. At some point I will build a .300 win mag, take this scope, and better rings, mount, etc and put on the...

I have an old Starrett steel level that I used to level the rifle to begin with. I'm glad you mentioned that because I just had heard that some Savages were not quite level. I checked it a few ways... That rail was also straight. They mated perfectly and screwed down nice and level.

I purchased 3 small precision levels. I leveled the rifle, the mount, and the scope. I bought NF rings, and ended up saving them for my .50 bmg. I figured the .308 wouldn't kill the Burris rings like the 50 might. I studied a lot of videos and read a fair amount about squaring and leveling. I...

I decided to mount this setup on my .308 myself. Perhaps if I step up the capabilities with another rifle, I might have a pro do it. Anyway, I spent my money on what I think is a decent beginner rifle and glass (MOAR) NF. I set the eye relief on what felt ok on the cheek weld and what seemed...
