Range report

No spectacular shooting or anything but I lined a couple of rifles up today, both with iron sights.   I set up a 25 yard range with intentions to move back to 50 yards for final sighting, but the rain came in.  Intended to shoot 25, 50, 75 and 100 yards.   Had my oldest and youngest sons shooting with me.

CZ 527 in .22 hornet, shooting PPU 45gr jacketed soft points.   I like this rifle, a lot.   It has CZ's new sights which require a #6 Torx tip to adjust.   The elevation adjustment is on the front sight.  The Sight swivels on a pin and has two retention screws.   Loosen the top screw and tighten the lower screw to swivel the sight up.   It worked well.  The windage is adjusted at the rear sight, uses the same #6 torx tip, and works by loosening one side and tightening the other.   It also worked well.    After getting the sights set my last three shot group had two touching and the group was easily covered with a dime.    I need to adjust the set trigger on this rifle.  Without using the set trigger it has a good trigger.  If I used the set trigger as is it was actually too light for me.  The last group was shot without using the set trigger.    I want this rifle to shoot 3/4" high at 50 yards, but like I said the rain kept me from checking that today.

Rossi 92 in .357 shooting magtech 158gr semi-jacketed soft blunt tipped ammo.   I had shot this rifle before but just at dirt clods and rocks and I needed to put it on paper to see what it was really doing.   No windage adjustment needed it was centered from the factory, a nice surprise.  One step down on the rear sight for elevation then shot a  four shot group (what I had in the magazine)  three in the center bullseye with one 1/2" high.   Not bad for iron sights and old eyes.   This rifle has a rear buckhorn sight, I don't really like buckhorn sights but I'm not going to change it.  I want this rifle shooting 2 inches high at 50 yards.  Like I said, another day.

I could see the sights on these rifles well enough that I lined both up with the front beads in the bottom of the rear notch.  That way I have some elevation room without raising the bead out of the rear sight if I want to stretch them out a little further.

I would have got more rifle time in but my DIL wanted handgun shooting lessons.  She says I have more patience than my son and she learns more with me.   Just stroking an old man's ego but I enjoy helping new shooters, especially my own family.  She's getting pretty good with the .327 ruger.
