Have no idea what you mean I am so shameless

Shame on Ya'll.....

Well, I did not play hooky from work. But, the sun did come out for a few hours yesterday. So, I beat feet to the range. So far, I like the Cloverleaf. The sight picture is much better than the semi-buckhorn (of course, not as good as a scope). It is great as far as open sights go. I was able to align the front post much better. Without any adjustments, I shot high and to the left (at 25 yards). I was about to adjust down and to the right (1 turn of elevation and 1 marking of windage). Not where I want to be though. Windage seems fine. But, I think I will try another 1/2 to full turn of elevation. I hope to get to the range again this weekend.

I shot 14 rounds (2-3 rounds groups), adjusting for windage than elevation. I was shooting Winchester Power-Point 150 grain. I had a mixed box of 20 (14 Winchesters, 4 Federals, 2 Hornadys). I did not think that I would get a chance to shoot 14 rounds. But, I did. I plan to pick up another box for this weekend. I will post the range results from yesterday tonight. If I can get a decent group at 100 yards (within an 8" area), I will be happy. I am looking for a grouping well enough for hunting. I like to have another rifle for hunting without a scope.

Thanks for the update. Looking forward to the next one.

Below are my initial adjustments. As shown, I still have some work to do. But if I do my part (keep the rifle steady through the firing process), I should get to where I want to be.

I would say, your grouping, on target results look pretty good already.
Dialing it in even better is not far away.

Good to see progress being made. Very close.

Thanks for the encouragement.

GFK Im wondering if you have a skinner to compare it to. Id like to know what you think of that. Scopes are always going to be better but Im still thinking for me a red dot might be the way I go.

BigAl52,
I do not have a Skinner. But, I have shot an AR-15 with a Red Dot. A guy at the club wanted me to shoot his AR-15. I think he was trying to convince me that I needed one. He asked if I wanted one now. I told him I was good with my lever action. At any rate, it seems hard to go wrong with a Red Dot, just point and shoot. I was shooting metal plates at 50 yards. Just lined up the dot and let it ripped (single shots at a time though). If I recall, it did require batteries though. That would be a downer for me. It would be one more thing that could go wrong.

Batterys in a red dot are not a big deal. They usually use a cr2032 and most have auto shut off after a period of non use. Easy to throw a 2032 in your shooting box and of the several I own I have yet to change a battery. Its really just personal choice and to each there own. Im attracted to this Ranger sight because of the fiber optics Old guys like that glowing part they offer.
