Mighty fine shooting, Sean.
Yes, very impressive, Sean. How do play that wind way out there at 100 yards? I find it's hard enough just at 50.
It’s been a hectic few weeks. Between normal work and setting up my wife’s new store, free time has been non existent. Was able to squeeze an hour of plinking in and what better way to de-stress? Grabbing the HW97! 5 shot groups at 60,73, and 102 yards on the tins.

Great shooting. What kind of holdover were you using? At 100+, I surprised that you do not run out of hash marks... What is your zero? Drooper mounts? I'm glad 55 yards is the max FT limit. I will leave the hundies for the PCP guys. -YPS with a 27 yard zero, I need 4 mil radians at 16X for a 45 yard shot.
Nice job buddy! Hoping to get up there and shoot with you again when life evens out for us.
Sean,I'm just wondering if you use a bubble level on your gun?A guy at the range recommended that I get one. Low and behold, I was canting my rifle. If the target is not level and I level to the target, I'm several inches off at distance.Anyway, I recommend to anybody that uses a scope and shoot often at farther distances that their zero, to get a bubble level. Cheap ones work too.The hardest part is setting it up. FWIW-Another guy at my range shoots 10M free hand. Has a fancy Anshutz. Shooting jacket, pants and shoes...He tilts his head about 25-30 degrees to get his head in the right position. I asked him if it affected his shoots? He said, it would at 9 meters and 11 meters, but at 10 meters I am dead on. -Y
Anything before my 30 yard zero was landing left, anything past was going right. I thought for sure I was getting spiraling til someone pointed it out.

Fits all cheap dovetail rings can do it too. They will often offset the scope to one side and cause a problem because it's not centered over the barrel. I use Sportsmatch rings because they are made specifically for 11mm dovetails and there's no offset
