Once a loser, always a loser it looks like. What the heck are you referring too? The OP I read nothing from the poster in this thread than warranted your response. What ever issues you have with OP should be addressed some where else than here.

https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/gallery/80/full/54028.jpg i will never use a shoot andsee target again ..... 100yds cheatham range off bags and bench. 1st 2 shots right below the bull. Gave it some elevation and left windage next 3 shots high at the 1130 and 130 (pulled felt it)gave it it some down and next shot hit at 10 next to bull.didnt feel like chasing a zero anymore. Went back to original setting from 1st 2 shots and put 3 groups of 2 each and my last shot into the cluster right below the 1st 2 shots. Front sight fuzzy from 093 aperture kinda hard to determine center. Got a 050 on the way to crisp up front sight. Thinking of getting the fp sight with click adjustments, the 5d is good but slide and lock screw adjustments make it difficult to find that precise sweet spot. It will do for this yr, shoot it again mext week when i get the 050 on it. Hornady leverevolution 160gr ammo is good stuff.

oct 6 with .093 peep 1st 2 shots below bull at 4 and 5 oclock from a cold clean bore @100yds. Did some elevation and windage playing around with 4 shots above the bull. Then went back to original setting and put 7 into a ragged hole. The front sight was blurry with .093 peep and hard to define center. Earlier today .050 peep installed cold clean bore 2 shots @100yds. The front sight was perfectly crisp in the sight picture. Called it good after these 2 shots and left the range, went home cleaned the bore and put the rifle away till opening wknd of rifle season. Pretty friggin happy with rifle to say the least.

I would be also. Especially with a peep. I wish my eyes were good enough to shoot like that.
They say everything happens for a reason. For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.

I got 25rds left of the same lot # from midsouth, I need to get 2 more boxes Monday of this lot# . Midsouth is 3 miles down the road. 3 full boxes should last me 4-5 yrs . Ain't gonna replace this 5d peep with a FP peep, things are good. Only should have to fire a couple of rounds to confirm zero with the gun from here on out each year. The gun shoots to poa with cold clean barrel , shooting that 1st pair on the Oct6 tgt same condition. Then I shot pairs and would boresnake between pairs. the barrel got ssomewhat seasoned and seemed to settle in low on the last 3 pairs and the last single shot. When I got the .050 aperture I wanted to see how close it was to the 1st pair cold clean barrel from Oct 6, the rifle basically repeated exactly the same only slightly higher with a much clearer and crisp front sight post . Don't know how many deer or whatever this rifle has killed, all I know is I need to kill one with it in November, my poor old model 70 probably ain't gonna get used this yr.
