what scope do you have how did you set it

[wats 0]

check left and right turret on side and up and down at top, just a thought mate a mine did it coudnt set sights the plank

[SEAN3513 7]

make sure your scope is mounted correctly and firm.

 

then start with setting your scope up at 10 yds.

 

once you have set the left to right zero....you will NOT need to alter this for any other distance.

 

relax......steady your breathing....don't hold the gun tightly......this will exaggerate recoil.

 

squeeze dont pull the trigger....it may take you a few shots to get used to it....once you are consistantly hitting the same spot.........then adjust your up/down zero..........then when confident move the target out to 30 yds............and re adjust you up/down zero again (or to suit your preffered zero range.......remember you will NOT need to adjust you left/right).

 

once you are hitting the same area consistantly...........you will be confident enough to take you rifle out into the field.

 

cheers

As above, but occasionally one gets the dreaded cross over.

the model 60 is renowned for having savage recoil..........practic,practice,pratice !!!!!!

 

then practice a bit more.

 

10 ft/lbs is its rating...........ample power out to about 25/30 yds.
