Sightron tracking

I did some experimenting this arvo with the 22 rim fire
On a clean barrel I fired 3 rounds to settle the barrel at 50 yds . I used a clean sheet of paper with no marks , firing the first shot it landed right where the cross hairs were cantered , second a little to the left and 3rd a little low , I then proceeded to wind on anything up to 25 minutes and back to zero firing a shot each time also winding the power between 6 and 24 firing a total of 15 shots after the first 2 the end result I was impressed with and well within what the gun would hold even if not dialling at all
As you can see after the first 2 shots to settle the next 16 all landed where they should

Well I guess it proves it to not be an Ebay Special then...

By the way, did you wear surgical gloves?

:lol:

What I was impressed with was how repeatable it was , I’ve had scopes that cost $3500 that we’re not that good
I didn’t get the surgical gloves thing though :D

In all seriousness it really looks the goods.

I guess the reputation Sightron have been building is genuine.

The surgical glove thing refers to the video in this thread:

I have had the same experience with my Sightrons

I dialled the S11 bigsky up to 500 using my 222 hit the gong then dialled bak to its 175 m zero and it was spot o

The S 111’s have been dialled up down and sideways always to return to zero

And to top it off just dialled this fella at 115 as he would not come any closer to the whistle
