Went down to the range and REzeroed the scope on the CZ 453 , after realigning it .
WOW, , 50 yrds out, first shot was 2" high and 1/2" right.
set scope to that shot, second shot was dead center bullseye, fired another 8 rounds , only an elongated hole in dead center.
OMG, I love this rifle.
(that 1/2 lb trigger helps)
Took the new to me Marlin 336 30-30.
Not as good a report.
The gun functions flawless, and smooth as silk.
No scope...factory iron sights, at 50 yards, tough with these old eyes.
Well, I can see good enough to determine ,with rear sight as low as possible, she shoots about 7-8" high.
... windage is good. Consistent.
Not too happy with that, It would probably be closer to center at 100 yards. That's why it had a scope on it I'm sure.
So, as much as I don't like scopes on Lever Action rifles , I may go that route. I could get a taller front sight to fix the shooting high problem, but I still got the OLD eyes problem.
Gotta decide....
