Sighting in rifles begins at home Only a perfectly mounted scope makes it possible to adjust the rifle’s actual point of aim
In theory, every shooter’s objective is for every bullet fired to hit its intended target whether that target is the 10 ring of a bulls eye at 1,000 yards or the chest of a bull moose at 100 feet. In reality, the first isn’t going to happen. On the other hand, if your goal is to be a successful and ethical deer hunter, you’re going to have to hit a target significantly smaller than a moose at distances that often are well beyond 100 feet. Anyone who’s willing to make a reasonably modest investment in equipment and a whatever-it-takes investment in practice can reach that goal. But don’t rush off to the range just yet, because accuracy begins at home. A good rifle is one that puts its rounds where its shooter is looking. This sometimes easy, sometimes exasperating feat of firearm domestication is accomplished by one of a number of devices commonly lumped together under the term sights. In this column, I’ll deal with telescopic scopes, because I began using them decades before failing eyesight made them mandatory. My observations about mounting sights apply equally to all types of sights. All sights are meant to give the shooter a means to duplicate lining up the shot by looking through the barrel. Although it’s not something the shooter will notice, a scope’s reticule is actually aimed slightly downward, so the falling bullet will pass through the perceived line of sight twice, once at approximately 25 yards for most center-fire cartridges and again farther downrange at a point dictated by the type of bullet and the weight of the powder charge. The first step in mounting a scope to a rifle is to eliminate as many variables between what the bore sees and the scope sees as possible. Doing so requires taking whatever steps are necessary to insure that the scope is mounted absolutely parallel to the rifle’s bore and that a vertical line that exactly bisects the scope’s eyepiece also exactly bisects the rifle’s bore. Note that I chose my words carefully in that last sentence. While high quality components (rifle, scope and mounts) usually produce perfect alignment out of the box, don’t count on it. If necessary consult a gunsmith. If he can’t make it right, start over.
GERALD SCOTT ... is an outdoors writer and columnist for The Plainsman
Only a perfectly mounted scope makes it possible to adjust the rifle’s actual point of aim as observed through the perceived point of aim provided by the reticule up and down or left and right. On top-of-the-product-line scopes, each click of the adjustment should move the point of aim the same distance as every other click, usually a quarter-inch at 100 yards. The adjustments on most medium-priced scopes are less precise, but, with a little extra effort, they can produce accuracy that’s more than sufficient for deer hunting. Only firing live ammunition at a range can fine-tune sighting in, but sights should be mounted, and, if possible, bore-sighted before live fire begins. Laser bore sighters are inexpensive, but most gun shops will bore sight rifles for a nominal fee. I’m sure I’m not exaggerating when I say that most rifle shooters spend little time pondering which bullet would serve them best. Many hunters never give any thought to what’s at the front end of the ammunition they stuff into their rifles in the predawn darkness of opening day. I don’t have that option, because evaluating both truly new and merely reinvented wheels under real world conditions is part of what an outdoor writer does. After shooting dozens of different bullet designs at both targets and live game, I’ve concluded that all of today’s name-brand rifle ammunition is more than capable of doing its part to allow an average shooter who’s familiar with his or her rifle to shoot 2-inch groups at 100 yards from a bench rest and 6-inch groups under hunting conditions using shooting sticks from a kneeling position. The catch is that many rifles like some bullets better than others, and a few rifles can be as fussy as a 2-year-old at a high class restaurant. Next week, we’ll go to the range, and look at some ways to solve that and other sighting in problems. gjsa@sbcglobal.net
