Yesterday I installed my reproduction ZF-4 Scope on MAEMT86's K43 and we sighted it in at 50 yards at my range in the 39 degree rain. My K43 scope sight had been moved when I took the windage adjustment cover, so I tested and corrected it, but I needed to come back to dial it in.
Today was 57 degrees, sun, a small breeze, and mud. Did I say mud? There was so much mud it came up into the laces of my sneakers. I first shot at 100 yards (PRVI match 200gr FMJ/BT) on the right target. I then moved to 200 yards and walked through the mud to set up the paper again. I knew I could hit steel at 200, but I never knew exactly where I was hitting. The shots were left, so I walked them into the middle. The last group of 10 was in the black area at 9/10:00 of the circle. After I was finished, I moved another click right. The two low center hits were on purpose to find out where I was hitting. The elevation stringing was me deciding where to set the center post on the target. I left with the arrow of the post sitting at the 6:00 black on the target, hitting center and high center in the 5.5 inch white center circle.
The fairly tight 9/10:00 group was the result.
Yes, I noticed the sun guard had walked on the scope and I have pushed it back down.
I also noticed the original shoot off rubber muzzle covers work really well. I shot off the one I had on it yesterday. That one was black, and I'm color blind, so I didn't see that it was still on. The one I replaced it with is more of a tan/gray.
Happy snow tomorrow.
