Re: 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!

This 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.

I 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.
