Shooting a JW80 MK2 off a front bag, benched (plastic foldable table, ha! ) is fun stuff.
Had a short outing with the Silvertop shooting lubed AA 16gn at 55 yards. I didn’t have a clear picture of the entire 3” gong due to foliage, but come on, that’s a huge target. I did have an unobstructed view of the carriage bolt head securing the gong to the chain, so proceeded to use that as a POA. No real wind to speak of.
5 shots took all the paint off that small bolt.
View of target:
Closer look using a 5 Pence UK coin (18mm diameter) as a reference:
Now to get it dialed in on the 85 yard Zombie resettable target! 1 7/16” top kill zone and 1 9/16”bottom reset paddle. Per the Amazon description top kill zone was supposed to be 1.5” and bottom reset paddle 2”, so this is going to be a fun challenge:
Here she is below with a vintage gloss Burris R/A 8-32x44 MD in a one piece adjustable Sportsmatch mount. I’m thinking of designating this beauty as a long distance bench rig so will likely upgrade the scope soon.
Happy Father’s Day weekend!
