Ok...shot the Burris it was/is FUNNY! The weather has obviously been tough and to try and remove as much atmospheric influence as possible,I poked atop a Salvage 22LR. Don't fret none...these Salvages shoot!(grin)
Just to keep pace,both Erector and Windage denoted .5 MOA Graduations. Not knowing what expect,as in IPHY,MOA for real or sumptin' Greek,I simply calibrated a Tall Target Test in Yankee Inches,in 5" intervals to 40" total. Did the Scope Swapaloo on the tailgate in Real Time and wasn't sure how many of the 96 MO/MO's in total travel,were gonna be up for grabs,after the swap(30 MOA rail on rifle and the 1.5-6x Burris rings are "flat" SWFA High Bitches). 1913 interfaces,certainly help with this,even though I'm not a Scope Swapper and like my shit pinned into fucking place.
Anywhoo...shot a 50yd zero,then went to whirlin' the Erector. Really didn't go crazy with the zoom,but flogged on it more than a few times and did all shooting at 6x. No 'surprises" here,as in I didn't expect it to do for fuck and it didn't disappoint.(grin)
At 50yds,inputs obviously need doubled,to eek the graduated lineal 100yd declarations. So 10MOA for a 5 MOA shift at 50yds,yada,yada. Shit shifted alright,like a Mad Woman going to take a shit...no rhyme/no reason and NO surprise. Erector shift wasn't predictable(5 MOA shift left to right is fucking HUGE) and when you can make a Vudoo cough up a Improved Cylinder group,something is up and it ain't the rifle. The scope is without hope and it's been my experience,that shit that don't track,won't/don't/can't hold zero either.
That was the fairest way I could see to do it,tucked out of the wind and upon a PROVEN platform of mild recoil. Yarded the Burris off,the 5-20x HD went back aboard and gunned a Krunchenticker Hummer Zero. The Burris "turrets" have no set screws or spline,so you gotta pinch the knob and whirl the live/rotating index to literal "0". Just about the shittiest "system" I have seen or used. 30 MO/MO's per complete revolution is a fair bit and the numbers are tiny,cluttered and will fuck most folks up. Am thinking the key is gonna be to leave the caps on 'em.(grin)
Burris had better lighting,than me.
So now I KNOW,what I already knowed about tracking and need to KNOW what I think I know,about zero retention.
How come only SWFA nails erector travel,parallax,reticle virtues,tracking and zero retention?!?...................
