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:

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

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.thats where bore sighting comes in first :tup:

:dunno: they were bore sighted first. We bought the rifles yesterday and scopes and then had them bore sight them for us. Something must have went wrong because with past rifles I've never had a problem hitting paper with the first couple shots. :bash: :bash:Yea I'm stoked about the purchase.

I've always liked Rugers. Those are nice rifles. Hope you have a good season with them.I've never liked ruger but these do feel good in the hand tempted to buy one myself.

i think that coyote must be deformed or something.. one of his front legs seems to be on backwards... I know some folks love their .22 centerfires, but I always liked to use may standard big game rifles for coyotes.. shot one with a .30-06 Abolt from 7 paces one time.. Glad you got to test the rifle properly..
:chuckle: the hole the size of a bowling ball on its opposite side may have something to do with the deformation of its leg :dunno: :chuckle:
