Thanks,,,i finally got to go out and sight in last weekend started with 180 grain Hornady got on paper but was having a problem,,,was shooting 12 inch wide left,,ran out of adjustment on the scope,,,after scratching my head and looking a few times,,couldnt figure out the problem,,,so i broke out the Wichester 180 gn,,,and was shooting 2 inches wide right,,,PROBLEM SOLVED,,,fine tuned to 1.5 inch high 3/4 inch groups,,,,moved out to 200 yard,,,using truck bed and bi-pod for a rest,,i know not the best,,,but was shooting 2 1/4 inch groups,,,,fired 12 rounds. Wind was picking up,,,shoulder getting sore. I moved out to 300 yards placed the accu dot on target,,,let loose and was 3 inches low with a 4 inch group first 3 shots. Shoulder really getting sore and wind picking up quickly,,,,flinching and wind starting to take effect,,,for $2 a shot figured was time to pack it up for the day. After 31 rounds and groups like that for the fist trip to my shooting range,,was very satisfied and happy with my new RUGER and Leupold combination.
