Surprises at the gun range....

[bessiedog]

Ever have them...? Feel free to share your stories.


Took the boy out to get some target time in. Had a buddy come with.. he’s shooting a new 30-06 with a decent Weaver scope... he’s hunted with it for two years now and it shoots well.

Something at the range gave us a huge WTF moment. He couldn’t hit paper at 100..... we moved him to 50 yards..... and nothing.... whaaaa?

I look at the scope setup.. and the whole scope has shifted forward in the rings.
I couldn’t believe it! We tightened stuff back up and discovered that the whole setup was loose!

He’s shooting good at 100 yards now and planning more trips to the range.
So wow.... thanks for nothing whoever set him up at Wholesale sports. I’ve always had trusted people install my scopes.

Funny that it shot well for two years. Wonder if locktight would have prevented this.

FYI.... I’m not a super well versed on scope technology and particulars.... I use it.. I can sight in stuff...

As for me..... imma gonna get more time in just shooting. I need it.
