Still don't want to put my hand near it... That's weird.

@Crowley, reminds me of something we have here:

Those bugs are scary and all, but we have giant horse and deerflies here in Virginia, they grow up to 3 inches long and fly around in huge blood sucking clouds.

Btw Gun Freak, might that be one of these? :lol:

What you need to do is aim the gun and lock it down, then fire a a set number of shots (preferably ten or twenty._ without moving the gun. Then check your scope to see if the reticule (crosshair) is still centered on the bulls-eye. If your group is tight, but the scope is NOT on the bulls-eye anymore, then you have a bad scope. If the group is scattered, but the scope is still perfectly on the bulls-eye, then it's your rifle. If the group is scattered AND the scope is off the bull, then it's your vise moving.


No the gun was locked down didnt move I put many many rounds through couldnt get groups it was horrible


The scope is brand new ive decided to bring it to the range one more time when I get the chance but if I have the same problem im getting a new 17 hmr with a barska scope 4*12*50 mm
OK, what is the gun "locked down" ON? Seriously, I can lock a gun to a table so that you couldn't budge it one millimeter with a crowbar. But if the table itself wiggles, then it's still going to look like the gun shoots like $#@%.

Also, have you tried using different ammo? I have an old Remington Model 514 .22LR that scatters 40 grain like grass seed, but puts 36 grain in the same ragged hole at 50yds. (I don't use it at 100yds because the front sight totally eclipses the target... with a scope I'd probably get 1/2" groups.) And I've got a Colt 1903 in .32ACP that shoots beautifully on Remington, but won't run three rounds of ANYTHING else without stove-piping an empty, or jamming. Do a little more work with the gun before you give up on it.

Gorgeous knife bro!
Have always wanted to make one of these:
I've always wanted a vehicle that would do 1 to a 100 in under 3 seconds.

It just occured to me that it would be cheaper to get my wife a scale!

( in kg)

:D

just kidding...she ain't that heavy.

yes ive tryed differnt ammo, and still shitty results, i brought it back to the range today, and shot for a while and the rounds were all over, the scope is brand new nothing is damaged on it, but i was thinking because i have 3 in the center but the rest were all over, but it wasnt locked down, but i have it pretty dam steady, but with my 22 i just use pilllows and its dead on , its def gotta be the gun

i just had my cheapy rest, but at my buddies house we have 50 yrds marked out, we have it locked down on a table saw top, ( the blade is gone) we use that cause its nice and heavy and doesnt move, and we have a plank of wood going horizontal keep it straight and using a cushion clamp to keep the butt and from the front there is a piece of wood along side the barrel with a clamp on the bottom to keep the barrel in place, ( it is kinda confusing to explain) you gotta see it and no i dont have any pics =( and of course we make adjusments for elevation to make sure the scope is on the bullseye everytime, and we have done this for most of my rilfes, and it works good, my 7mm is dead on from this my 7 will put rounds in one another at 100 yrds easily,

i really think it is the barrel shot out, i got an offer on it for 75 bucks and i made it 80 with a box of ammo, i


if i really cant find the ammo, im going with a savage 17hmr with a barska scope for 350, the gun is brand new for 250 and scope is 100 bucks

Jsefcik, I guess the real question is, how much have you had to drink before shooting?
