Glad it worked for you. Been dealing with guns for over 50 years and it’s not the first time I had seen that issue. The sight may have a problem but you’ve got it running right now.
When my Dad was doin something tedious he would have his tongue out and he would lightly chew on it. It looked hilarious but it always seemed to work. Then I would pat him on the head and say, "good boy." Then we would sit and giggle about it. (Great father and son moments)
GLAD that ya got it dialed in now! The think'n and frustration is enough to drive a guy Crazy with stuff like this. Have a GREAT day, and God Bless all!!!!!👍🤗🙏🙏🙏🙏
Great video. Absolutely love shooting a .410. Also enjoyed hearing the bob White quail whistling in the background. I’ve only heard or seen a quail twice in five years on our farm here in mid Tennessee
Congratulations, Jason glad you got er. Did you ever, in your wildest, imagine paying 10 bucks for a .410 shell? Diligence pays off. Turkeys you are on notice.
Man great stuff I laughed at that cause it reminds me of me. Sometimes you have to just walk away from those projects and come back and it falls in place.
I have seen this same problem in the turkey hunting groups with this same sight on different shotguns. I also use bird shot to get it close then dial in the TSS loads.
Glad that you got it sighted in. I'm the type that doesn't like sending things back, but knowing me I'd throw that sight as far as I could and buy myself a new one. lol. You shouldn't have to shim an adjustable sight so that sight has to be bad. I bought a new scope for my new 300 Win Mag, laser-sighted it in, and every time I pulled the trigger it would knock the scope out of sight. And after going through 2 $50 boxes of shells trying to sight it in I took that scope off and threw it in the pond and ordered a different one. lol. I laser-sighted the new scope in and it was an inch low at 100-yards, I adjusted it up and shot again and it was dead on and it stayed dead on from then on.
When I mount red dots on my turkey guns, I dial it in with cheap lead shells at 8-10 yards. It should be a small hole that close. It might take several shots to achieve zero, no sense wasting hard earned money on tss at this point. Once I feel like they are dialed in, I give the barrel a quick cleaning and drop in the tss loads and check them at 20 yards, 30 yards and 40 yards. Sometimes tss loads shoot a tad higher than lead loads and I may have to make a final adjustment. Glad you got your 301 shooting good!
I'm still confused by you using such small shot. Around here, they use BB and bigger the last I knew. I also wondered about you buying a. 410, in my area, they are almost nonexistent when you try buying them. Glad you finally got it sighted in. Persistence pays off. Have a good day.
It's not regular bird shot like you're thinking. The T stands for tungsten and it's 22% lighter than lead. So it has more shot with a longer terminal velocity. I'm no expert but it's kinda like a .243 vs 30/30
Woodhaven custom calls has apex shells. Getcha a Laser boresighter. Midway has Vortex solar red dot blemished for $157, $399 msrp, 150k hrs of battery.
Man if you could find a box of .410 slugs that would give you a better idea of your up/down dilemma. I heard that bobwhite in the background! Been a long time since I heard that. I’ve had scope rings and red dots lock up on adjustments. When I make adjustments I always thump the sight with my thumb.
You can take the rail off and give the good folks over at EGW for their red dot scope mount specifically designed for your RD sight. This will lower your height over bore and eliminate the need for shims. Don’t forget these shotguns are made in China and they are a budget gun. There is a solution to your problem.
The dot should be close to the bead looking through the sight if it's real high above it that's your problem all of mine is real close I run two of them sights
I just ran 7 apex tss shells thru my 301, and it is still not zeroed in perfectly. It is the reflex sight that a click is not always just one click. Too expensive to shoot tss shells.
Please return that sight to Vortex! It is definitely not the gun with it being that consistent. Vortex has great customer service and will replace it. You should not have to go through that everytime you change ammo or chokes!!!!
Really doesn’t seem like the up and down adjustment is working. I got two of those sites on my turkey guns and Iv had good luck with them. I think you must have gotten a bad sight.
@@HollisFarmsMS I usually site mine in with two people, one to hold the gun steady and the other to adjust the dot to the point of impact because of shell cost. But when it’s being adjusted you can see the dot moving up and down in the site. You ought to be able to look through yours and adjust the up and down and see if the dot moves
At first, I thought this was some kind of joke the way you were sighting it in. Then, I realized it was not a joke and just sad. I mounted and sighted in over a dozen of those sights and never did what you did. Sighting in a red dot is about the easiest thing to do. Shoot it at close range with cheap shells. Put the dot on your aiming point and adjust your dot to the center of the pattern(while looking through the sight). You watch the dot move, so you know if it’s moving or not. That should have taken about 3-4 shots total to fine tune to 40 yards. You’ll know what not to do next time. Good luck.

I had the same problem with my 301 in 20ga. Drove me nuts, finally just decided to aim for the top of the head.
Glad it worked for you. Been dealing with guns for over 50 years and it’s not the first time I had seen that issue. The sight may have a problem but you’ve got it running right now.

Gm Jason and all others. Great to see you out feeling good. Praying it continue on for everyone to feel ok. Enjoy the rest of the Happy Memorial Day

Glad you got it figured out! Recommendation for next time do most of your adjustments with lead (cheaper) then fine tune with TSS
👍🏻
Awesome video 👍👍👍. I’m very impressed with that 410. I knew you would get it fixed. Thanks
Thanks

Thanks. Sure didn’t
Man great stuff I laughed at that cause it reminds me of me. Sometimes you have to just walk away from those projects and come back and it falls in place.

Glad to see that you finally got the 301 lined out. I know it had to be driving you crazy.
👍🏻
I had bad luck with a red dot site being very inaccurate
Great video sir! Stevens 301 410 All Day! 🦃🦃👍👍

Great job Jason, PJ and Bow, You got there in the end:):)

Great job, hanging in there and getting it rite next time your on a turkey it will be your!!!!! Have a great day!!!!
Thanks
Glad u finally got it man those things can be very aggravating hopefully u can get back to racing soon be great to see the racing videos again
Thanks

Great Finally got it 👏 Thanks for sharing Jason 👍
Thanks
Great video Jason y'all have a great day and stay safe 👍
Thanks
So happy for you jayson. Crown him King next deason !!!
👍🏻
You should invest in a bore sighter, because then you can see your dot move to your laser site from bore sighter. And it'll be a whole lot cheaper
We did
Great Video Jason From Bryer Floyd.
Thanks
Have the same sight, u have to go opposite of what it needs to go, took me a few turnes to figure it out
👍🏻
You can buy a Delrin shim that fixes that. I had to do it for my Venom. About 10 beans, and mine works now.
I would have already lost my 💩 and either destroyed the sight or the gun. Thanks for sharing
Lol
How has it held up?
Woodhaven custom calls has apex shells. Getcha a Laser boresighter. Midway has Vortex solar red dot blemished for $157, $399 msrp, 150k hrs of battery.

Break it open, look through the barrel and adjust your sight to match the center of your barrel!
Remember when shotguns had a brass bead at the front of the barrel and that was good enough?
Yep
Jason I heard some Bob Whites in the back ground do you quail hunt any?
No
You can get a super low profile mount from SumToy customs super nice folks to work with
👍🏻
Jason be sure you go back and lock tight all your screws.
👍🏻
if you take the sight down it raises the end of the barrel up
👍🏻
Put the first rail on one way and then the smaller rail the opposite way that may level out for your site then to be on top
👍🏻
You can take the rail off and give the good folks over at EGW for their red dot scope mount specifically designed for your RD sight. This will lower your height over bore and eliminate the need for shims. Don’t forget these shotguns are made in China and they are a budget gun. There is a solution to your problem.
👍🏻
You need to just shim one end. Have a good one brother!
Did you watch
The dot should be close to the bead looking through the sight if it's real high above it that's your problem all of mine is real close I run two of them sights
👍🏻
Enjoyed
Thanks
I just ran 7 apex tss shells thru my 301, and it is still not zeroed in perfectly. It is the reflex sight that a click is not always just one click. Too expensive to shoot tss shells.
Tractor supply has a gun vice for 70 something dollors

Buddy you are going in the wrong direction.you need to move to your point of impact and that would be down to where your shot is hitting
Did you even watch?

Totally off subject, do you still hog hunt your blackmouths? Looking for some good blood with nose ?
No
Bring your stock down more on the center of your shoulder.
👍🏽👍🏽
👍🏻
If the barrel was bent it would shoot in a circle, and it just might come back and hit you in in the back of the head!
the money spent on shells , you could have bought another gun, but if you are like me I will not let it beat me, we will find a way to make it work
👍🏻
I found shells online....for my 4:10.
Will send info
Thanks
I think barrel bent
👍🏻
friends tell me this model shotgun is made in China.
