Thank you for taking the time to reply. Most of my other groups were pretty close to the same. I was consistently in the 10 ring all day but that stupid orange circle eluded every shot I fired!

Im going to try a different target next time - maybe even just a paper plate with a colored dot / circle in the middle. I have a hard time with the black crosshairs and the black background and the illuminated crosshairs covering the orange center. Overall I shot tighter groups with the crosshairs illuminated (as in the attached picture).

You can barely see In the picture my previous group (unilluminated crosshairs) covered with the black target dots. I didn’t make any changes to my optic and my next group (illuminated crosshairs) was shifted somewhat.

Is the group I posted good enough to consider my rifle / optic zeroed? I’ll certainly continue to try to improve.
