308 win optic

Recommended Posts

I just picked up a cz550 american in .308 win. Just cause I had one laying around I dropped a Simmons pro sport 4-12x40 a/o scope on it and hit the range. I'll be honest I have never done the mount and zero before just shot ones pre set. Before I go nuts messing with it is that a good scope at all or should I move up? Eventually I would like to use it for wild boar. My range maxes out at 100 meters so I'd like to get decent to that. I put 20 rounds thru it today and kept it on paper but all over at 50m

100m is a pretty short distance... were you shooting on a bench/prone off hand? Maybe that explains u being all over the paper.

 

At 100m if you do want a scope, depending on your eyes, a 1-4 or a 1-6 should be enough for hundint boar. Hell, you might even do an RDS at those ranges and allow for the better FOV.

 

As far as brands, the sky is the limit... just depends on how much u are willing to spend.

If you are resting the gun the shots should never really be all over. Even if the scope is off center bull it should be consistently off and your shoots all in the same general area. If you can't achieve that you can't zero in the scope. If you try a sand bag or bipod and are still all over either scope is loose or you need a lesson ;)

    • I very seriously doubt this has anything to do with terrorism.    1) Harbor pilots are VERY seriously vetted, and highly trained. Not to mention extremely well paid. My experience knowing a few of them, and knowing how they are recruited and screened tells me that there is a slim to highly unlikely chance that a harbor pilot would have participated in anything like that.    2) Maintenance of foreign flag ships is well known to be dubious. Especially these days. These were NOT US flag, Jones act sailors. It was (to my understanding) a largely Indian crew on that ship, with a Ukrainian Captain. Indian crews are not exactly known for being stellar.    3) The bunkers (fuel) these ships use is ‘Bunker C’, which is a heavy, dirty fuel oil that can, and usually is, pretty contaminated. This stuff ain’t your car grade gasoline or diesel fuel. It’s nasty.   It requires nearly constant filter changes and maintenance to the engine/generators. The ship took on fuel prior to departing port, which would stir up all kinds of shit in the fuel tanks, which would contribute to particulates in the fuel lines/filters.    4) I’d say the posting of the chief engineer for Maserek above was pretty spot on as far as chain of events.    This was a shitty accident, with horrible timing and outcome. Not a terror attack. 
    • I saw Lara's interview on Bannon's War Room, and that gave me pause for thought. Her conjecture depends primarily on the veracity of her sources. Regardless, if it's not applicable in any way to this ship disaster, the methods described seem valid to me. And worthy of consideration for the future. As I said before, IMO something is coming.
