Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles brand new rifle hunter

By the way, you know the easy way to bore sight that rifle don't ya? Just pull the bolt out, secure the rifle in a solid rest. Set up a target 25-35 yards out. Center your target in the bore as you look through the the bore from the back. Then check the scope to see if the crosshairs are centered on the target. Once you get the two centered on the same target, fire a test shot and adjust accordingly. Easy peasy, and in a half dozen shots or less you'll be on at 100yrds. Try gettn sighted in about 1/2-1" low at 25 yards.

Nice rifle. Excellent one to start out on. Should be extremely dependable which is what you need in a good hunting rifle. From my experience with the husky's it should shoot pretty good too....If you can hold out, I'd opt for the 2 piece weaver type mounts instead of the one piece windage adjustable ones. Good luck with your new rifle and your hunting......

Big +1!!!

Talley lightweights and a VX2 3-9x40mm w/ ballistic reticle would be my choice. Put the cash you save into ammo and/or components if you're reloading. You won't miss the extra magnification I guarantee, nor the bulk & length of the more powerful scope.

Sweet score!

She looks good from here and I'm glad you ditched the see-thrus.
Pick up a bottle of Howard Feed-n-Wax and put it to the wood.

I used that until I heard how it would penetrate and darken scratches.I switched to this.
