Quick Range Time

I wanted to go to the range today to check on my scope sighting before tomorrows Tactical .22 match. The temp made it to the mid 40s, but I must have gotten to the range during the windiest part of the day. Our range sits atop a mesa/plateau to the west of Albuquerque and Rio Rancho, New Mexico. The Jemez mountains are just to the northwest of it and the wind coming across those snow covered mountains was frigid.

I was bundled up pretty good, but only fired enough rounds to make it "Close Enough for Governement Work" before packing it end.

Hopefully there won't be much wind tomorrow, plus the area we shoot at is down in one of the lower areas so we should have some protection. I don't know about anyone else I'm ready for spring.

I've got to find a better made scope this one doesn't seem to hold its zero very well, that or it got moved.

I don't hunt anymore but the cold weather still stirs the desire. I agree, there's no substitute for a quality scope. All my scope problems have come from bargain priced optics.

what scopes are you considering?

Well the close enough for government work did the trick, no problems at the .22 match today, the scope was fine. I hadn't really started looking at scopes, my attention and gun money have all been being set aside for the Spikes .223 upper.

I made sure everything was locked down good on the current scope before I went out yesterday. Now I can keep a close eye on it, I can't swear it didn't get moved, so I'll give it another chance.
