Also are you using the rings that come with it I don't like them get you some Talley rings
I have a ? for you. Have you used or tried the Tikka rings?
I bought a T 3, 270 W in 2003. I wasn't impressed with the rings either BUT, I thot I'd give them a try.
This past season I shot this doe at 150 yds.
This makes FOURTEEN (14) seasons, with the SAME scope. I'm still trying them out.
They work better than some think.
