Always enjoy your videos Tom. My rifles are zeroed in at 200 yards which covers most of my shots. Good luck with your house

It’s funny you just came out with this I took my deer rifles to the range and found out my 30-06 Sako I put a new scope in it at the end of last season. They have sight in days going on at my local gun range and found out my new rings won’t let the scope be adjusted enough to get it hitting the bullseye at 100 yards. Found out the rings have a problem even though they are new. Swapped out the rings and headed to the range next weekend to make sure it’s spot in! Don’t wait to the last minute to have your gun ready! Over 50 years ago I borrowed a gun from a relative and didn’t have time to check the zero! Missed out on 2 giant deer because the gun was shooting so far off! Great video as always Tom!

I've used a long piece of electrical tape on the end of my barrel. When I do shoot it, there are 2 long pieces left available to re-apply tape over the end. Always keep the bore clean and clear.

Tom you've shared some great advice. Today I was checking my Remington 783 in 308 . I went to get up and the sling came apart . I'm happy this happened at home.

Almost every 270 Winchester 130 grain load is listed at 3060 FPS. With my 62 year old Mauser with 22 inch barrel, I actually get about 2950 FPS over the chronograph. Same with handloads. Just subtract about 100 FPS from what the manual says.

Steve that FPS from the factory is usually with a 24” inch barrel and they usually list it in the book on the barrel length but you are also right on not always getting what the factory load on the box says especially on Hornaday!

Thanks Tom, some really good sound advice. I have that same rifle case that my 270 traveled in for many years. I now hunt with my Ruger American 308 and a suppressor. It gets the job done although I do need to do the MPBR for that just in case I get an opportunity at more than 100 yards. Again, thanks for the video and looking forward to see the house when complete.

Went out this morning with 5 bullets and my p14 303 british sporter with open sights. Somebody fully bedded the action to the stock with devcon and im going to give it a little bit of space for a freefloating barrel. Not much kick with this heavy rifle. Added bbs to the rear of the stock so the rifle isnt barrel heavy. Its going to need a sling. Ill do that tomorrow. Im going back out now with 5 more bullets and ill set it for sure this time. I was half an inch off bullseye so i need a little more adjusting. Hard to do with a dovetailed in sight that needs a mallet to move the sights. I have. M17 3006 to that needs bullets and open sights need setting.

I made the mistake of not checking if my scope mounts were loose one season. Didn't see any deer that outing, which was good because it was when I got home, and did my post season cleaning that I noticed the loose scope mounts.

Thanks for the video Tom! I've never sighted a rifle in for point blank shooting. I understand the concept. What I notice is that the calculations don't take into account for a rifles group size. My point is...if a rifle groups 1/2 moa then the point blank range is further than a rifle that groups 1.5 moa. If a 6 inch target is the desired impact zone. The accuracy of the rifle barrel could have more effect on the point blank range than any other factor. I believe a 308 with a 175 gr bullet traveling at 2400 fps would have a greater pbr if it was able to shoot consistent 1/2 inch groups at 100 yards over a fast 6mm at 2900 fps with a 1.5 inch group . Do you take group size of the barrel into consideration when figuring point blank range? Thank you and keep the videos coming.

Thanks Bobby, and it's a TC Icon in 243. I have never taken a deer with a 243 and if I got chance to go this year I wanted to try it.
