Opinions?
Don't shoot nearly as much as most of you because of where I am in the winter months in city limits. I bought my scope and mounted it while still at cabin in the mtn's where my small range is set up. Took my BBS 357 while here back in city limits to to my LGS to bore sight and zero. They have private rural places to shoot. Asked them to get me about 1 " high at 50 yrds. This was the result. Couple flyers to start, but last seemed to be ok. There were 25 rounds gone out of the box. Shooter was not there when I picked it up and target was not marked. How do the results look?

Re: Opinions?
If that is a 50 yard target, I would say that you got what you asked for. It is a good starting place for you. Good luck with your future shooting.
Remember, it's not how many guns you have. It's how many bullets you have.

Re: Opinions?
Thx Cofisher, I think it is a 100 yd sight in target probably set up at 50.

Re: Opinions?

Re: Opinions?
Looking good. A target full of holes = mission accomplished in my book. And my guess is you enjoyed it.....bonus!

Looks like your LGS shooter is giving you a good place to start with for your own dial-in finalizing.

Looks like a good startin place.
Now to find what ammo she "really" likes, or
if you hand load, the right combo.
Enjoy.

Re: Opinions?
I never got into reloading so it's gonna be factory. I asked them to use 158 gr. So the shots were Federal 158 jsp. Will have fun experimenting with some others for sure!Vaquero wrote:Looks like a good startin place.

Re: Opinions?
Well then enjoy the search.
Those things are a hoot fer sure.
Got enough ammo a man could shoot all day long.
I have a 180 gr cast load that I really like, and shoots well in my Rossi.
