Took the PSA Mid Heavy build on its maiden voyage today 9-18-12.
Temp was 60 degrees, cloudy, windy. Too cool for mid September.
Loaded up the first mag with a box of 55gr Wolf lacquer coated.
First shots through the upper with a Primary Arms 3X Compact scope were on paper.
A bit low, and to the right about 4 inches.
Quick adjustment of about 1/2 turn on the windage dial got me centered.
Next I adjusted the elevation up, and then again. Adjusted to hit low of center on target, using 50 yard range for a 100 yard zero. After the mag of Wolf ran out I brought the MFS zinc coated 55gr out. Continued to shoot mag after mag...no hickups what so ever. Last mag I adjusted the elevation up another click. Happy with my zero. Next trip with this rifle I'll go to the 100 yard range and "fine tune" it. Ran a total of 20 Wolf, 200 rounds of the MFS. I'll be buying more of it from Palmetto State Armory.
At the end of the day I policed up my cases, most were at around 4 o'clock, others had hit the posts for the shelter and had bounced around.
All in all very happy with this build and the PA 3X is a great scope for the money. $180 plus I got the American Defense mount for a total of $240. Not bad at all. Glass is clear, the illuminated reticle is sharp, the adjustment clicks are solid.
and on to the pics...........
gotta have a "Dew" on a range trip!
bottom left target was the first target I shot
