What a day.
« on: July 18, 2004, 11:17:03 AM »
Well, this trip to the range certainly produced results.  The .35 started grouping like it is supposed to, the 44 is as accurate as I am, and the 30.06 blew a scope.  At least I know now what was the matter with the reloading.  If the scope's internals are jumping around then the reloads won't be accurate - profound statement there. :shock:  :shock:

Anyway, this was a Burris 3x12 handgun scope.  The power ring started to freeze up when you turned it.  It worked fine from 6x-12x but down around 5x and below it was extremely hard to rotate.  Like it was binding.  At the range today it put one in the bullseye and then started shooting 8" low.  I turned it about 50 clicks up and it never moved.  I did shoot a great group 8" low, though.  I guess once it bottomed out I got to see what my reloads were doing.  Anyone know what broke inside and how long it will take to ship back and get fixed?
