    Hi. I got this scope, Leupold Vari-X III, 2.5-8x I’ve never seen an adjustment like this. No MOA or MILRADs, just numbers.. When I adjusted it, I felt no clicks.. Can anyone tell me what these markings are referring too?

    3030 and 125gn pills

    I have a marlin 336, a pretty gun, actually won it at a safari club meeting(drawing). Unfortunately, i have not figured out how to get it shooting better than 1.5-2” at 100. I’ve tried 170’s and 150’s. I think marginally the 150’s shoot a little better. The CTBT RN 150 for 3030, shoot poorly...

    Wild first shots

    Talking with a friend about a finnwolf 340wby. Nice feeling rifle/trigger, but first shot is high left by like 18” at 50 yards. 18” makes it crazy because if we sight for cold barrel first shot, follow up shots are so off, it’s not usable. And if we sight for the group, the first shot is a...
