Today's purchase ruger American 270 "update: and first kill"
« on: August 31, 2013, 11:17:41 PM »
Can't wait to shoot it tomorrow. Topped it off with a nice little vortex diamondback 3-9x40 scope. Hopefully it will be a great little deer hunting rifle :tup:

Yea I'm stoked about the purchase. We went shooting today and it took 38 shells  :yike: to get them sighted in at a 100 yards. At first we couldn't even get it hitting at 25 yards :bash: sportsmans warehouse bore sighted these yesterday and we were hitting 8 feet high ( both rifles) at a 100 yards :bash: :bash: :bash: but now they are both perfect with 2 inches high at a 100.

"sportsmans warehouse bore sighted these yesterday and we were hitting 8 feet high ( both rifles) at a 100 yards".

With all due respect, you should have a competent gunsmith look at those rifles. Most riflescopes don't even have 96 inches of vertical adjustment in total. There appears to be something quite wrong. Best to find out now. :twocents:

Luckily we have a close family friend that is a gunsmith. 8' high may have been a bit over exaggerated but being bore sighted an all you would think one of the rifles would have at least hit paper. They were hitting extremely high and had to be brought down a lot. Ooh well tho, now they are both shooting great and I'm excited to get out and put them against an animal.
