Beautiful here in SW MO. Maybe hit 80. Went to the public range.

3 weeks out from deer season, it was predictably more crowded than a fully stocked shop in Russia.

My goals were to get 100 rounds w/o a failure through my finicky 10/22 SBR, and if it was proving reliable, to zero it @ 50.

100 rounds w/o incident, all Mini Mags. Couldn't get to the 50 yard line, so I was able to zero it 1" high at 25, and it's on for windage. Grouping was MUCH better than before. I got one sub 2" 25 yard group, with 2 touching. May not sound like much, but it's way better than it has done. Given the coarse dot, my declining skill set, and the fact I've only tried 2 flavors of ammo through it, it's looking much better.

parallax issue with the dot optic. Try the Fastfire, at least it will give you another data point to confirm/deny, etc.

I am confident it will be sorted out and even more confident that you will find it exceptionally useful!
