VERY happy!
Took the PSL out for the first time. Sighting the rifle in was a real PITA. I had a laser bore sighter but at 100 yards I couldnt see the dot. Anywho after burning up most of my ammo I took this 10-shot group. Let me first preface that this was my first time really using a scoped rifle. For a rest I had a folded up sweater, the PSL mag pouch and a can of grizzly under the buttstock.  I was using Bulgy 147gr surplus.
I think I may need to invest in handloading, an RSA adj trigger, longer LOP and higher power scope, I could get real close to 1 MOA or better. what do yall think? Red dot is 1".

| Glad you had fun. Suggestion: When zeroing a new rifle or a new scope on a rifle, start out at 25 yards with a large piece of paper for a target backer. Get your shots on paper close to point of aim. You'll waste less ammo this way. Then move out to 100 yards and zero. |
| To save ammo when sighting in, always start at 25. Also must have a steady rest. Shoot first shot. Now while holding rifle steady on the bullseye adjust the scope to the bullet hole of first shot. Saves a lot of ammo. If you can take out the bolt and look down the barrel then center the barrel on a far away target then adjust scope to same target. I use an old Stuart sight vice. I can usually get on target at 100 in 4 shots. |
| What kind of laser did you use I have one that goes in the barrel and is a pita to get centered because of the brake. Like everyone else said start much closer to get your scope in the general area to save ammo. I sight my laser in at 25ft then start on paper at 25-50m dail it in then push out to 100m. Anyway well done looks like she is a good shooter enjoy it! |
| Fired mine for the first time this weekend. Able to hit 18" plates with my irons at 250M pretty consistently.. then went out to 600M and hit a bell shaped plate 4.5' wide at the bottom 3 out of 4 times. Was pretty happy with that. Of course, this was after beating the FSB with a hammer to get it lined up properly. Never noticed it before i got it out to the range, but it was canted right slightly. But lord.. that trigger pull... horrible! |

I was using the Walmart special multi-cal bore sighter. Ive had good luck with it in the past and it fit just fine, even with the brake. I just think it was running out of batteries.
I have 20-20 vision but a 1" red dot was pretty hard to pick up in extremely overcast/drizzling conditions about an hour before sunset with the 4x scope. Overall a true ten shot group at just a smidgen over 3MOA with surplus ammo and in the conditions I had I was very satisfied. I am itching to get out there again! It was so fun! What is the part# for the swivel stud from midway to us a bipod? |

We have both been down the same road.
I do not use my wal mart laser sighter at range because is not strong enough at 100. i use at home on wall. works ok to use at indoor range. one of my problems is that i have not been able to get a consistent 'chin' weld so I added 2 layers of pipe insulation and now I get a lower tooth weld that is better. try shooting with iron sights. I love iron sights and whenever i want to check what i think is a scope problem i use my iron sights. |
