Took the No 8 and the No 4 out to the range today

Thanks to Dave's assistance I was able to mount a PH5D to the No 8 & a PH5C to the No 4. First up the No 8.
Bore sighted it and was about an inch high and slightly left. 5 x 5 shot groups to get it sighted in. 25 meters benched. Then I shot for effect. The first (right hand target) was pleasing. The second (left hand target) was very pleasing. Unfortunately not enough time to take it out to 50 & 100 meters but very promising so far I reckon.
The No 4 at 100 meters, benched, was a bit more problematical. Bore sighted it. First five shots resulted in a single hole a half inch from the top of the frame and well right. Hmmm, time for a rethink. An educated guess later and I'm on paper, sort of. After a bit of "shoot a group - make an adjustment, shoot a group = make an adjustment" I make another educated guess and fire off my last 5 rounds. Fairly happy with the last 5 - all in the black.
Also took the .22 Hornet and some different ammo to usual, less said the better there.
