I've had my M400 unused for months and finally took it to the range for the very first time on Sunday. I got it shortly before the Sandy Hook massacre and that completely took the excitement out of my recent purchase. Then the weather was just too cold and so on.
I had already done a field strip and clean and lub so it was ready to go.
It fired flawlessly for all 80 rounds that I used. It was very accurate with the iron sights and I didn't make any adjustments to zero them in. I'm sure that there could be some room for adjustments but the closest distance that I shot was 50 yards and I was hitting the black each time from a supported, seated shot. I was also hitting the black at 100 yards.
Then I put on a scope that I got a Gander Mountain, sorry I can't recall the brand at the moment. So, to put it mildly, I know just how necessary it is to zero in the scope. At 200 yards, I didn't hit the target once!
There were a couple of young men at the range who offered their assistance to get the scope zeroed in at the 50 yard distance. The consensus is that that scope is not so great, because we couldn't get it to be adjusted after 20 minutes to hit the target at 50 yrds.
I tried one of the guys Trinitron dot scopes and , I really like that. I was very accurate at 50 yards. The fellow had a monocular and told me after my first shot that I was shooting a tad low, so I placed the dot right on top of the targets head and that did the trick. The sight was set at 100 yards.
I'm not sure just how critical a dot sight would be, but I'm open for input and suggestions.
