I ordered a 20moa 1 piece scope base for my 7mm. I was done with deer so I decided to put that nice VX3 on my 7mm so I could go wring it out.
I did as usual and set the target at 25 yards to see where it was shooting. And I had got it OK.I ranged a sign at 230yds to center it at home
After getting it close at 25,everything in a decent little group I went to 100.Couldn't see where it hit.So I up a second target below,I figured it was shooting a little high.
But a foot? Funny part was I had put stickers over the shots from 25 yards. And even though I was shooting at 100 yards and at the lower target,I put a shot thru each patch!
So the question is ,why would there be that much difference at 100 yards?
Most times i have sighted guns in this way the 100 yard shot is at least on the 12"X12" target.
Is it the 20MOA base that is making the difference or is the 7mm trajectory that different?
Thanks in advance
Mike
