I put a new scope on my Ruger American .22 Magnum

At the Range this morning I started at 25 yards.

I got the scope dialed in fairly close and then fired this target. I shot once and was gonna adjust the windage but thought, No, I will shoot a couple more to make sure that's where it's hitting. I fired 2 more and through the spotting scope could see they were tight, so I shot twice more.

Then I moved to 50 yards. I had not yet adjusted the windage.

After that I started adjust the windage. on this target I shot the top left hit .. adjusted the scope fired the top right .. adjusted the scope right and down and fired the 3 lower hits.

Then I shot some Hornady V-Max 30 grain loads. They hit about an inch higher than the CCI Maxi Mags.

After that I spent some time shoot clay pigeon laying on the berm. This is a fun little rifle and easy to shoot.
