Today is Thursday and Sherry wants to go with me to sight in the old Ruger.  Remember I sanded down the stock and bore sighted it.  It will be very interesting to see if it will print holes one on top of the other like it should.

Ever since I bought the rifle it has been rather erratic and for a quality rifle it hasn’t been spot on like I expected it to be.

It has brought down two deer and an elk, but I’m not so sure those weren’t just accidents.

I need it to be consistent and bring home two more elk this year.  Not much time left to play around with it.  Next Wednesday will be our qualifying day for the antlerless elk tag we have up at Deseret Land and Livestock property and I have to have the rifle I’m going to use to qualify with.  If something happens and I’m unable to get it to print consistently, I’ll have to resort to my muzzleloader, which wouldn’t be a bad deal anyway.
