    Newb question

    Re: Newb question Just a little update... I finally got to go shoot yesterday. I had a little mishap when zeroing the cylinder on the turret so I spent a few minutes getting everything back to "0". Once I was close I was about 1.5 inches high and about an inch to the right. I shot a 5 round...

    Rifle Scopes IOR 4-14x50

    Re: IOR 4-14x50 I finally got out to shoot yesterday. To answer my original questions: Yes, I had lost my zero, by around 36 inches at 100 yards. But, I returned the turret to the 3rd rotation marking, loosened the two Allen screws, set the cylinder on the turret to zero and squeezed off...

    Rifle Scopes IOR 4-14x50

    Re: IOR 4-14x50 Just a bit of an update. I did not get to shoot today thanks to the rain, again. But tomorrow is supposed to be clear as a bell and nice and cool. I have done a bit of reading today and as far as I can tell, with the cylinder reset to baseline, or bottomed out, I am going to...

    Rifle Scopes IOR 4-14x50

    Re: IOR 4-14x50 So, the rain threw a wrench in my mix today, but tomorrow looks like its going to be a good day to shoot. Probably going to be windy as all get out, but not really a concern as I will likely not shoot past 300 yards. Anyhow, I talked to Val at Valdada today on the phone. I...

    Rifle Scopes IOR 4-14x50

    Re: IOR 4-14x50 I think I will do just that. I would hope there is nothing wrong with the scope because everything seemed to fall back into its respective location, not to mention, it tightened. But I will definitely give him a call. Thanks for your input.

    Rifle Scopes IOR 4-14x50

    Re: IOR 4-14x50 Thanks for the peace of mind. It's greatly appreciated. I am going to shoot some this week anyway, but I was thinking, "man I don't want to go through the finding zero process again". So by have the ring to the "baseline", what does this mean?

    Rifle Scopes IOR 4-14x50

    I have a bit of a dilemma and I can't test what I suspect until tomorrow. I have an older 4-14X50 IOR scope that I got a pretty good deal on. So, after zeroing my rifle, I have attempted to return the ring to zero. So, according to the instructions, you back the two 3mm allen screws out 1/2 to...

    Re: Newb question That's in line with my thinking. If it ain't broke, don't fix it

    Newb question

    Re: Newb question Thanks guys for the comments and complements. They are very encouraging. I am not certain that myself, or the rifle can do this every time, but I am going to put some rounds through her this weekend. My uncle is in the process of loading up about 300 rounds for me to...

    Newb question

    Re: Newb question Thanks for the responses guys. They are appreciated. I was planning to post a pic tonight but I have had two hold ups-the first being a newborn in the house, and second, for whatever reason or another, photobucket is not working. At least not the register part. But I will...

    Newb question

    Re: Newb question Thanks for the input. I am not sure that the rifle is a real performer yet so I will have to take it out more and see if it was luck, the rifle, the shooter or any combination. I would hope that repeatability will come into play, but I will not be completely let down if not...

    Newb question

    First, hello all. I am obviously one of the new guys. Anyhow, I recently purchased a Remington 700 PSS in .308 Win.. I bought the rifle with a tactical grey Cerakote with 6/4 Seekins Precision rings with a matching Cerakote. The bolt and the knob are the only remaining black surfaces on the gun...
