In the segment with no volume I was talking about the difference between iron sights (rear notch or "V" and front post or blade) and peep sights (rear aperture or "peep" and front post or blade. Also some rifles are equipped with telescopic scopes that can provide varying amounts of magnification. We lost volume due to rain getting in the mic. Such are the realities of filming at the range.

This was shooting prone or from a bench. It has always done me well. Also in the early 80's when I was shooting my Tikka 222rem. for ground hogs When i bought a box of ammo that let me shoot 1 inch groups at 200 yards,I went back to the store and bought the last 6 boxes of that production lot that he had.

This segment was actually my suggestion to Paul- I've seen people at the range put two shots on paper 6" down & 4" to the left and say: "Its good enough for huntin' season..." Just last weekend I spent two days at our local club volunteering for Hunter Sight in days. On the first day we had 91 volunteers & 80+ hunters sighting in. Some people come back every year. Its especially nice to have people sight in with safe conditions: We had people come to Check In with the wrong ammo (one fellow said he put 3 rounds of 270 through his 30-06 before he figured out what was wrong when he was hunting last year) , some rifles came in broken or frozen , some reloads last year had no powder, etc. We had someone to bore sight rifles, RSO officers, Coaches, spotters, medical personnel, someone to call out the cadence over the speakers, etc. And it was nice to have the equivalent of hundreds of years of experience on the line. It was a pleasure to both educate and serve others. Also; the sighting requirements for sighting a 30-30 with a 150 grain bullet and a 30-06 with a 150 grain bullet are entirely different. Some people actually don't know that... And quite literally some hunters don't know the anatomy of the quarry they are hunting, that's why I hunt on private land with a guide.

A lot of folks try to use lazy tricks to "save ammo" like sighting in a .270 at 200 yards and then relying on the old chestnut that it will be 1" high at 100 and 1" low at 300. I always try to tell people, you never know where your rifle is going to hit at a given distance until you actually shoot it at that distance.

Paul, Thank you for making all these great videos. If you decide to get a different lever action rifle, I would recommend considering the Browning BLR. It comes in many calibers including 308. It has a detachable box magazine so you can shoot spritzer or any other type of hunting round, the trigger moves with the lever eliminating any chance of finger pinch, the lever drives a rotary bolt through a rack and pinion system which is as smooth as butter and it is available in a take down model that comes apart similarly to the Ruger 10/22 takedown. I use mine for deer an wild boar hunting and I love it.

I don't know the intention of the OP but whenever I see people joke about (active) wrongful killings it falls into the absurdity of the jokes that psychopaths makes about their victims; i.e., it's only funny to them and those that aren't on the receiving end and/or isn't having enough empathy for the victims of that violence. _"BTW, for deer it is most likely to be killed by some kind of predator or decease."_ And how is this making it okay?

I’ve found it helpful to get on to paper quicker and save a little $ on ammo, if you have a rifle where you can remove the bolt and are able to look down the bore, line the bore up with where you want your rounds to impact then while trying to minimize moving the rifle move so you can look down the sights or through the scope. Make adjustments to the sights or scope to try to get them in line with the bore. Go back and forth a few times until they seem to be in line with each other. Then start putting rounds on target and making adjustments. This works best if you are on a bench and have sone kind of stable support.

Hi Paul. Another method of quickly determining if a given rifle is anywhere near zero is to shoot at something on the back stop and then adjusting the sights, if needed, to bring it to an approximate zero. I was attending a school where we were shooting the M-4 service rifle at 100 yards. The Agent next to me was not hitting the paper at 100. After several 5 shot strings he was getting quite worried since the actual course of fire would be coming up shortly. I suggested that he shoot at a small white object on the back stop. He did, and then I gave him what I thought would bring him close to a rough zero. The first two rounds he fired hit about three feet to the right of the object. After making the adjustment he then fired the remainder of that five round string at his paper target. He was then able to fine tune his zero with the last five rounds before firing for record. Works for me. ;)

This made me think of something about zeroing riffles. I've known several people over the years. You ask to borrow their gun and they say something to the effect of "nobody can hit anything with that rifle but me". And they are correct. I'd like to see Paul do a video of what he believes is going on there. Is it that they cannot shoot properly, so they sight to compensate. Or is it they they just plane don't zero correctly and know it. Or (insert other options). Thank for the video Paul!

@@davidkeil6225 but being family, there's a good chance you use the sights the same way, and put your face on the stock about the same way (including squishing your face if it's a bit different), and you hold the rifle more-or-less the same way (because, "that's how you hold a rifle"). But you're right, if it's sighted in, you should hit somewhat close within 100yds or so (especially windage). If it's really far off (especially windage), there's a good chance the person pulls the gun around when they shoot, and try to compensate with the sights (but that only works for relatively short ranges, then again, a lot of people think 50 yards is a "long shot" with a rifle lol).

One thing I learned from my ex father in law that was very important, is that not everyone looks through a scope the same way. You might have one guy that's dead on with his rifle, he then hands it to you and you group a different point of impact because your angle might be just that much off. He taught me to make sure for yourself if borrowing a rifle, and he also taught me never to change how I shoot. If I have a particular stance, or hold with my shoulders, don't change it on the day a deer comes out.

I am glad that Paul is so practical, lots of testing off hand. I know too many people who use a lead sled to sight in their rifle for hunting. They are obsessed with small groups, but in reality, they will not have a lead sled while hunting. My point is that they can have a false sense of their particular setup's accuracy. There nothing wrong with a lead sled as a step in sighting in your rifle, but you should also shoot in the same way as you are likely to do while hunting, it may "tame" the effective range a hunter would consider for an ethical shot, and that is good to know.

It does have some quirks though, if you use a red dot or something on the receiver rail you can easily lose zero by hitting the barrel or taking it down. It's also a little heavy, about 7 lbs unloaded. I don't know if it's just mine but it also doesn't like steel case ammo, jams every 60 rounds or so but other than that it's great

Good video and I love how Paul sits there at the picnic table in the rain like it's a summer day. My model 88 can give me fits too if you rest your hand on the magazine. Its prone to an occasional hang up. Also depending on the brand of scope base the rear sight could be obstructed if you lower it too much. I have noticed a trend with most all the import Chinese scopes that the 1/4 MOA per "click" standard is transitioning to 1/2 MOA per "click". I have noticed this at the range when I've helped beginners adjust their affordable scopes. Seems like the popular affordable 30mm low power tacticool (ie Vortex, Primary Arms etc) use 1/2 MOA or worse. Some people might call me an optics snob but I stick mostly to my tried and true Leupolds.

Thanks for another well thought out educational video. That said accidents happen so everyone should understand fully about the microphone issue. Quick tip for those who are not great shooters. Paul is an expert, the fact that he can set his sites off a pair of shots is a testament to his skill and years of practice. To most everyone who is not an expert, take a third shot for each grouping to estimate where / how to adjust your sites. The third bullet will allow for a better estimated actual hit point due to more data for each set. It is the same way as taking a single shot (even for Paul) and making an adjustment every time, would have you chasing your tail all day as everyone has a 'flyer' every so often. Some of us more often than others. If you squeeze off a round and it felt weird / wrong etc. take another shot and remember to allow for the flyer when you look at the grouping. Figuring in a 'flyer' for whatever reason, will only slow the site setting process. But it will make an already tedious process down right unbearable. Also before you fire your first round to set your sites, take the time to make sure that they are not loose or broken, and do not have any missing screws or parts. You can, and should, do this before you leave the house. I have seen dozens of people on the range shooting all over creation, only to then look at their sites and see an obvious mechanical failure. They then have lost a day or more as they now have to start all over again, once they fix the problem.
