SEPTEMBER POSTAL TARGETS and August reslts

[Salty]

Here?s my bullseye. Did my best to tie up with NoPowder.
Sgt York coming soon. But I don?t know if I can match Tom.

[No Powder]

You matched me and shot a lot smaller group. Good shooting buddy.

[Salty]

Yeah but you?re shooting off hand. I?m supported.

[No Powder]

But Salty, my own 2 legs were supporting me. And I'd rather be supported by my legs than my elbows.

Dag nab it! Missed it by one! Got the Kibler out today and got it sighted in, followed by the postal shoot targets. I am a little baffled: I had to move the front sight noticeably to one side to achieve a true zero. I understand the sighting process, but I have never had to offset the sight this far from center on any other rifle. Wondering if it is just a weird machining quirk or something.

[No Powder]

Well Eric, I've heard that sometimes a bore is out of center from one end to the other, which sometimes lead to having sights like your front sight is. One way to correct your sight being so far out of center with the flat of the barrel, is by moving both the rear and front sight. Both sights may be off center with the flat of the barrel but it won't be as extreme as yours is. At least you were able to get it shot in.

[Hank in WV]

There is always the possibility of a bent barrel. Hopefully not.

[Second-rate Marksman]

Thanks for the input, fellas. Looks like it?s off to Jim for a check-up. Fortunately, I?ve got a .45 caliber barrel that just arrived today, and I?m hoping that I can use that in the interim. Fingers crossed it doesn?t have the same issue.
