I've decided to post the IR-50 target, now....
CYA friends:
I'm not going to keep you in suspense.......I'm going to post the IR card I kicked out yesterday while fooling with a 6 power scope on my new MD-PAS pistol..
Along with some comments about sporta shooting with a 6 power scope......by which I got a surprise yesterday.
Here's the card.......I took this picture though my 24 power spotting scope.......
I left the target on the stand last evening, so I'll take a better picture of it today...
If you notice, there's no shots high........none.....
The whole card I was favoring the black circle slightly toward 10 O:clock .....except on the four or five I got burnt on....
________________________________
Here's some comments about my first "serious attempt" to shoot a IR card with a 6 power scope.
After I corrected the parallax, I grabbed a box of Eley black from the odds and ends behind my truck seat.....just to sight-in with.
I bore sighted the scope, then shot a couple rounds off to the side of the target, then started fine tuning the scope on the three sighters at the top of the card...
This old scope has 1/4" clicks, or more, cause I never could make the bullets hit behind the cross hairs......
I was always a click high, or, a click low........same for windage...
So I decided to live with it.......didn't have any choice....and just try to hold off
By the way, the upper left sighter has my last two rounds in it, yes there's two shots in that hole...
I was holding high and slightly left......
So I started shooting the record bulls....
It was windy and I watched the streamer in the woods.......
And I got burnt four or five times............by the way, I used the rest of the box of my sighting-in black Eley.....
___________________________________
Now, about the surprise I got......
First of all, I was lucky I had my spotting scope with me, cause you can't see the bullet holes with the 6 power.....at least I couldn't..
But what blew my mind was, how easy it was to shoot the 6 power.........
CYA friends, after only one "serious" afternoon of shooting with a sporta 6 power, I can't really tell much difference in the ability to kill it....
A 6 power scope is not really a handicap to killer rimfire accuracy shooting.
It blew my mind........
Here's the one difference I noticed between this 6 power and my 45 comp:
It's more difficult to make accurate hold offs........
Cause I got burnt four or five times trying to manage a condition.........and every time I overcompensated.....
I mean, it blew my mind how easy it is to shoot a 6 power........
Not at all what I expected...
And even with the old K-6 Weaver......it would be even easier with the modern 6 power scopes we have today..
I'm headed back to the range to take advantage of another 60 degree day here in February.
Your friend, BC

These little pistols are the most fun to shoot RFBR guns ever created by the hand of man.....
