Took my new Mk4 22/45 Lite and a new (to me) S&W 422. Quick trip to verify sights on both. Actually, was trying to zero a Burris FF2 on the 22/45. It was an exercise in futility. Just could not get it to zero. At one point I had better luck reversing the directions indicated. At another point I was close but it wouldn’t adjust the 1”left I needed. Kept turning until I noticed the adjustment screw was about to fall out.
It was only at 7 yds and I had nice, relatively tight (certainly consistent) but not zeroed groups.
I don’t know what I was doing wrong. That being said, I shot better (quicker, more consistently and confidently) once I pulled the FF 2 off.
I’m not super impressed with the Mk4 overall—though I want to be, since I just paid MSRP for it. I have multiple FTE. It also seems considerably less accurate than my Mk3 22/45, which is a reliable laser. Was hoping to put a dot on the Mk4 and try some Steel Challenge. Not sure what to do about that...
I had paid $25 To have the rear sight adjusted/drifted on the 422 so I wanted to check it. Shoots pretty well but still an inch left at 7 yds. The thread about sight pushers has me thinking...
There was one other guy at the (private) gun club, shooting a G19. He was pretty consistently low left. I had an opportunity to offer use of my 9mm snap caps for a DIY ball and dummy drill (without coming across like a know-it-all). He was grateful and his groupings improved. Seemed like a new-ish shooter. Nice guy. And he let me have his brass.
