Boresighting and Testing the "1000 Yards for $500" Savage Axis | The Social Regressive
With one week left until the 1,000-yard and 600-yard matches, I am finally boresighting, zeroing, and testing our Savage Axis project rifle.
Boresighting is easy; no lasers needed. Just remove the bolt and look through it. Point the bore at an object. Then look through the scope and see if it is pointing at the same object. Adjust the scope if it isn't. Ta-da!!!
The scope that I am zeroing is the Simmons 6-24x44mm Mil-Dot scope. So far the turrets are tracking well. The glass is awful. I take back everything I said about the resolution being fine. If you are curious to know what your eyesight will be like at your 120th birthday, just look through this scope.
After I got the scope zeroed I tested some minor variations of the Hornady ELD Match loads that we tested a while back. Tweaking the neck tension and bullet seating depth mostly led to a sticky bolt, though, so I'll stick with the original winning formula.
Subscribe to see the match results next weekend!
