I've been working to much and had too little time off but I forced myself to take a couple days off to go shooting. Thursday I was shooting my .44 and was having trouble getting it sighted it. So I sighted in my other rifles and figured I'd get back to the .44 later. I ran out of light so it had to wait...
Friday I went back and this time I brought a shooting rest so I could remove my wiggling from the equation. Again I was having strange results. First it would shoot low and left then I manged to get it shooting high and center. I let the cool and shot some other guns and came back to it and it was now shooting high and right. It seemed to be grouping well with rounds touching at 70 yards but I couldn't keep it from shifting around. I didn't keep the targets but if all I cared about was group size, it was shooting OK but POA wouldn't stay in the same place.
In all honesty it shot better before I put the scope on it. Right now I'm suspecting the scope or mount is wonky. I put a new Redfield 2-7 on with a DNZ mount.
Deer season is upon us here in Oregon so I don't know when I'll get a chance to try it again. I'm planning to remove the scope and try it again with iron sights when I can and put the scope on a know good shooting rifle to see if it's the problem. Anyway no Handi for deer this year.
