3584ELKRe: scope height/ trajectory puzzle
So....I have been hunting, then back to work one day, then off to another state for a week of training. When I get back, I have another day of work before heading off to the hunting fields. Haven't had time to test it further. Daughter is hunting with it, and its currently shooting 3" high @ 100yds. If she kills something beyond 200, I will be delighted. I will report when I get back to the range...probably late Nov.
Sorry for the suspense!

TCLouisThis is a good reason why folks recommend we field test calculated drops.

According to "Load from a Disk" with that data, the bullet will be 0.89 high at 250 and -7.?? (I forgot) low at 350.I have found some of the calculations to be fairly accurate but at the ranges I run for TN shooting the errors may not appear.

TCLouisI read on down and saw that you said, "I guess more testing is in order...this rifle has caused me mucho headaches!
Since you are suffering with this obvious failure of a rifle if you will box it and pay shipping and ffl charges I will dispose of it for you.
Just as a friendly gesture toward a suffering fellow shooter you understand.
