Wind blew up,as ceiling lifted and never got out past the 1300yd line. Rifle is Skookum,beings it's yet to be bedded and the right proper trigger weren't in today's Mail.
Didn't even tote the chronograph and simply ballparked 3175fps with 88gr Smooches and DOPE was on the money,to 1300yds. Erector was off .7 Mils to the right of mechanical center and when ele was bottomed out,it put .5 Mil high at 100yds,which equates to a 250 zero. I miss the 6x MQ's parallax,finer reticle and 10 extry mils on the erector,but will slum it as configured,as a fhuqking Sleeper. Were I not in a hurry,I'd of swapped rings around,to see WTF it did to windage.
All in all an VERY good call,with zero concessions. Throating was on the money,as was Alpha neck clearance and I need to score a Montucky donor to build a Flyweight Bitch.
Hint.................
Surprised you didn’t throw some zee rings on to correct both windage and elevation shortcomings, assuming you wanted a zero at less than 250.

Zee's don't fair well...the fasteners are Dog Schit. Hint.
On the flipside,'Horn's are THE answer,but at the cost of scope height. They've the durability to shirk abuse and weather,less a single fhuqk. 250 was the targeted zero,given the aeroform of the projectile and it's launch. No thang to hold under with 5 etched Mils on the windshield,but close encounters mandate a holdOVER,which is counter intuitive and fhuqks folks up.
Given stock geometry,the Marty 45 MoMo's were/are perfect and there's but the faintest CH of clearance betwixt it and objective.
Prolly ain't my first rifle.
Or last................(grin)
