111 - 270 win, can't hit beans
Morning Gents. Buddy gave me a 111 in .270 WIN with a 3-9 x 40 no name scope on it. He said he bought it 4 or so years ago and it was a package deal for $300 odd bucks. He retired back to Bulgaria and didn’t wanna bring it with him.
Anyway, I shot it with some Remi 130g Coreloc ammo and WTF? Can’t hit beans at 100yd, I have a side yard with a hundred yd range set up and I can’t see where the bullets are going but it’s not hitting the plate. I took it in to Dick’s and had it bore sited, they said it was a little off but it’s good now. Shot it again and took it back to have an adult bore site it, he said it’s right on. I asked if I should be able to hit a 20”x20” plate at 100 yards? He said I should, went back and shot it again on a bench, still can’t see where the rounds are going. I have trees behind my target. Another buddy says he read that the 111 have lousy triggers with drag and creep. I feel none of that, I apply about 4 pounds of pressure and snap goes the hammer. Before I take it to the rock pit to check it and be able to see where the shots are going and adjust the scope, I wonder if I’m missing something.
