Range day today, rifle held groups fine, after like a rookie, I figured out the mounts were loose. Anyway, the 4X, even w fine X hairs, is tougher to hold tight groups.
Still managed right at under 1" with both my 180 TTSX hand loads and factory 180 Partitions I had leftover from Africa years ago. I must admit though, the scope while clear, was VERY cantankerous to make corrections, particularly after I noticed I ran out of left windage, so I centered the best I could, then went to rough corrections using the base windage screws.
That said, I was disappointed in the fine windage and elevation corrections as I tended to overcompensate and wasted some ammo. At this point i have it shooting 1.5"high at 100, but I'm really tempted to put a new Leopold 2.5X8X36 on it. What do you guys think.
My .300 Wby wears a VX3 2.5-8, and I find it to be about perfect. Mounted in Talley LW's, scope and mounts are about as light as you can get in a variable.
