Let’s talk scopes

1.5 MOA from a deer rifle with no bipod and likely a terrible cheek weld is GTG for hunting.

These are the last three rounds fired at 100yds. Which is where the scope is set to. I’ve got work to do but I think I can hit what I need to to drop a deer. I really want to do this some more though!

If that's the Rem ammo we were talking about, that level of accuracy is expected. 1.5 MOA

It is. Rem Core Lokt 150grain. I feel pretty capable of giving a deer a bad day. Thanks again for your help today!

OK I’m reading about the CDS and it’s cool but is it worth an extra $150? It looks like the same scope without it is $319 at places. I don’t mind buying once and crying once but I also don’t want to spend money on a cute convenience I’ll maybe never use. Which leads to my next question....what are y’all s ring recommendations?

It is

Shooting the Core Lokt, I'd say you were doing your part just fine. That's a good group at 100 with that ammo.

Now practice bringing the rifle up so that you are looking through the scope at what you are aiming at as it hits your shoulder a lot. It needs to be second nature to you.

Lol. You're doing better than 80%+ of "experienced" deer hunters I promise you! Well, not 80% of ODT hunters. Heck we're all spec ops Olympic sniper ninjas!

Was doing this last night and dry firing. I'm going to need to do it about a thousand more times to remember that damn safety. I can almost predict my next hunting thread post

Sneaking away from work in the AM to see if I can see something through my new scope. Don’t forget the safety, don’t forget the safety, don’t forget the safety,...

Are you guys shooting doves or deer?

By the way. Things looked brighter in the scope at first light than with my eye. I was extremely pleased by its low light performance. Also my wife just ask if I figured out which scope I want for Christmas yet.
