Made it to the range this afternoon (in between thunderstorms) to see if I put it together correctly. Well, I aint dead, so I must have done it right!
Put 20 rounds through to make sure it's working and to mostly get the scope zeroed.
I discovered a couple things at the range:
1: I like the scope very much,
2: The Oracle is a go,
3: My eyes suck even more than I realized.
Starting out at 100 yards, the 4x scope helped, but the target was still too small for me to see clearly (sucky eyes). I tried my best to get it zeroed at 100, but my shots were all over the place. Then I moved to 50 yards, which was much more easierer for my old eyes. Didn't make any adjustments to the scope and fired 10 rounds. Here's the result:
Not too bad for a rifle and scope I'd never used before (humor me).
The Tru-Glo scope is really easy to adjust. I hope it's not too easy since the knobs don't lock and are always exposed. It looks like you can remove the knobs and put them back on at 0 once it's fully adjusted, which will make it easy to reset if they do get moved accidentally (did that make any sense?).
The trigger is lighter and smoother than expected. Not too bad at all, and it really lets you know when it's reset. Much better than the M1 carbine trigger, that's for sure.
Anyway, looking forward to getting back to the range for some more shooting and. Now that I know it's not going to explode, I can let my wife try it, too.
