Set Up New Scope With Excellent Results

[Steven B]

I couldn't resist buying this Viridian 6 X 24 50 scope from Natchez for $ 82. It was $ 420 but is being replaced. I mounted it on my CZ 457 Varmint with Wild Hunter rings that I got from Amazon for $ 25. OK, I'm cheap but it's reall working well.

I'm shooting from a bipod and bag but my go back to a steady front rest and bag. I don't know which one will be more accurate so a little testing is warranted.

Definitely tall rings.

What ammo were you shooting and how did you the rifle and ammo do?

I started out with SK Standard Plus and then switched to SK Semi Auto. The Semi Auto shot much better shooting a 247 out of 250 on this target.

Just curious does those ring fit in the receiver groves and is that a 30 mm tube on the scope

Yes, they are 11 mm and fit the grooved receiver. Yes it is a 30 mm tube.

The mounts fit 1 inch 30mm and 34 mm tubes.

Wow, that's really fine shooting!

Thank you.

Nice

Small piece of advice:
If you mount your bubble level forward of your front ring, you can still see it fine and it won’t block the markings on your turrets

looks like fun!
A Tip -- We use vet tape or the horse leg tape from farm supply or Amazon to secure our cheek riser mods--works great--easy as pie--if it gets a little tacky after a month just wrap over it quick go some more--replace totally several times a year--we used a piece of thick yoga may cut to shape for a pad --Fun is the main thing looks like you know how to do that!

I bought two similar sets of rings, mine are West Hunter, will accommodate 1" or 30MM via a bushing. I was well pleased with them. Set the scope in a neutral position and was on POA/POI in just a few clicks. I have had expensive rings not do that well. Good shooting too, a 247 with a CZ is excellent.

Looks like 250 to me.

me too...

The USBR is a tough target, 2nd shot in row 2 and 3rd and 4th in row 3 are out. They don’t call it the Green Monster for nothing.

Steven, that is some fine shooting

 

[mhblaw]

I thought if the shot touch’s the green ring, it’s a ten.

 

[MrG52D]

It has to touch the 10, the inner most ring, like I said, it's tough. Not many 250's ever scored on it.

 

[mhblaw]

This is the IBS target. Using “best edge” scoring, it’s a 250.

 

[Dgd6mm]

Isn't it the USBR TARGET?
That's some fine shooting Steven B.

 

[mhblaw]

Opp’s, my bad. Looks like the IBS target, but is the USBR, and does not use the “best edge” scoring.
