I *carefully* counded the clicks, and which way I made them, as I started my lame attempt to get it on-target.<br />I wound up setting it back to where it was as-delivered!drjimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05647484115197408897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5183651835847025449.post-35431895972366156492011-01-15T00:59:57.829-06:002011-01-15T00:59:57.829-06:00I usually bore-sight (a gun shop will do it for yo...I usually bore-sight (a gun shop will do it for you if you don't have the tool) and then start at 50 yards. That usually only takes 1 shot, then I move back to 100 yards.<br />200 yards is a fur piece for a 30-30....<br />I do love a Marlin 336 though.wirecutterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12525620516837946733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5183651835847025449.post-72497011893586849722011-01-15T00:52:58.617-06:002011-01-15T00:52:58.617-06:00The last time my son and I went shooting at the bi...The last time my son and I went shooting at the big outdoor range, it took me most of a box of 30-30 to get the thing zeroed. I *started* at the 200-yard steel targets, and couldn't hit a thing. We finally put some paper targets at about 40 yards, and I was able to start hitting them.<br />I wasn't used to how much a 30-30 kicks, and couldn't keep the scope on the steel target to even see where I was hitting.<br />Stupid me, thinking I was an able-bodied rifleman, started out waaay too far considering it was the first time I ever shot my Marlin 336.<br />Once I overcame my arrogance, and got the notes I took from OldNFO's site on how to sight-in a new rifle, I started getting hits.drjimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05647484115197408897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5183651835847025449.post-77179185725223715682011-01-14T23:57:25.927-06:002011-01-14T23:57:25.927-06:00Yeah, I'm just not that steady.

My Marlin has a 3-9x32 on it, and at 100 yards I have to crank it down to 3 power.<br />Past 100 yards I need a shooting rest!drjimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05647484115197408897noreply@blogger.com
