I have the vertical turret turned up as high as it will go and I'm hitting about two inches low at 100 yards. So I need to reevaluate my scope and rings choice. The scope is only a 1.5-6 X 36, but the rings are super high. I may have some shorter rings laying around so I may try that. But at 100 yards plus, the power is just not cutting it.
On a different note, We went hog hunting tonight again. Had a huge herd out at about 250 yards and there were several very nice sized hogs in the group. But about the time they came out into the field, I almost got plowed over by something that ran up behind me. It was pretty big, like a calf, but all I heard was pounding hooves it got the other guy's attention but by the time they got lights on, it had suddenly turned, missing me and was moving so fast that he never did identify whether it was livestock a deer or a huge hog. When I heard it coming up behind me, I froze because it was pitch black with no moon. I was sitting in a Chair using shooting sticks. I swept the FLIR around but all I saw was the herd across the field. So after we recomposed ourselves, my uncle came over and whispered for me to use the hog call. Bad mistake. They heard it, froze up then retreated back into the brush.
I got some FLIR video again though.

I'm glad I fought the urge for now as I prefer stainless. I can't wait to get my hands on one of those!
