I was able to get to the range this weekend to do some shooting and get familiar with my new optic, the Premier light tactical 3-15x50. This is my first high end scope so I don't have much to base it against. The glass is very good, the tracking is accurate and i really like the way the controls are laid out.
Rifle is a sps-v cut to 20" and restocked with a McMillan A3.
Shooting was done with sandbags under the front of the rifle and using my support hand as a rear rest (I need a rear bag). Range was 100yds, no wind.
I zeroed the scope on the shoot n see target, shot a couple rounds into the outside diamonds to confirm the zero and then moved onto the .5" dots. I was not shooting for groups, its kind of boring compared to shooting the dots. This was my first time trying one of these dot drill type targets.
As you can see i wasn't hitting the dots dead on for the most part. Unstable rear rest and barrel heat I think, obviously combined with my lack of skill.
Zero target:
1st dot target (didnt shoot all 20). I was doing pretty well for the first 6 then i think the barrel started warming up and opening up.
2nd dot target:
