I recently picked up a Savage Model 99 with a Weaver post reticle scope in a Stith mount. I've never sighted in a post reticle scope before. Should
my aiming point be the top of the post, or where the crosshair crosses the post?

A new-to-you Savage? Did another friend's house burn down?

I had a couple of Redfield’s with a post and crosshair. I really liked them.

Aiming carefully, with deliberation, I love it...but snapshooting under pressure...my eye or my brain or years of crosshair intersection conditioning gets confused with the horizontal crosshair. I could do without the horizontal crosshair and just use the post.


Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.
