Re: Mags H009B
Yes I'm very happy with it. Not having an objective bell on this scope, I was able to leave the buck horn sight in place. Also, there is a battery operated reticle that is normally black when turned off, but when turned on is adjustable brightness red. Nice when the target is dark or in low light. The optics are very clear, have not noticed any imperfections even at the edges.ESquared wrote:That scope looks great on the rifle, too. Assume you're happy with it?
But I wish I had bought the 8x zoom model. The 6x zoom is ok for staying inside 4 inch groups at 100 yds, but for tighter groups really should have gotten the 8x. Going to take some fine tuning finesse practice and concentration to get tight groups with 6x at 100yds. Something to look forward to working on. Excuse for more shooting , ya that's it.
The other thing I should have done differently was not buy the packaged scope/ring mount deal. The ring mount was too high 1.5". Bought a set of rings at 0.97 inches. Much less hold over/under with the lower rings.
Today I didn't put that many bullets down range, so recoil I hadn't even given it a 2nd thought. Time before this one, that recoil added up over the course of the afternoon to a sore spot that made me wince with each of the later shots.

Re: Mags H009B
I prefer sand bags over a benchrest myself. It makes me feel like I’m actually shooting.

I was wondering what you meant in your first post, where you wrote about "0.97" partial offset" (paraphrasing), that's how little I know about scopes.Mags wrote:ESquared wrote:That scope looks great on the rifle, too. Assume you're happy with it?

I have much to learn if I'm going to get serious about this 30-30/Scope thing...

Not 'partial', not a word I used. Here is a clip of what I meant in height.

Re: Mags H009B
Yep, "partial" was my word, don't know where that came from, other than 0.97" registers in my brain as "partial." Is the measurement of 0.97" the distance from "base to ring center" as laid out in your pic? "Offset" from what?Mags wrote:.

See how far I have to go?

Thanks. Appreciate positive reinforcement.Slugnut wrote:Not to shabby, my friend. Especially for off hand.
Just so there is no confusion, there are 2 different range reports here. The first with the paper targets was off hand. The 2nd report was shooting the metal plate targets using the Vanguard fore-stock rest. The rest helped calm some of my shakyness. I've learned that I probably need to get a rear stock rest/bag to fully stabilize the Henry and me. I can see through the scope that I'm still moving around more than I would like with the stock held to my shoulder.
