    Top large dot is 50yds getting on paper and working down. Bottom left dot is the first group of "5", and I pulled the shot (said a naughty word immediately after pulling trigger and before checking) so I moved to the middle dot without shooting the fifth shot. On the bottom middle, it kept wandering down so I dialed up .2mil and then reset myself in my position. Bottom right dot is the final group of 5. I'd like to say I pulled/jerked the shot on the top edge, but I didn't. All in all, not bad and I'm pretty impressed with how this rifle shoots! It will definitely only get better as I become more used to shooting prone and get a lot more dry fire practice in to learn the trigger.

    I'm glad this gun is working for you. As hard as I lobbied for it, I would be legitimately embarrassed if it didn't shoot.

    Now that you know that the gun works and that you can put a few into a small group, there is NO reason to not do that all the time.
    Just doing what I can to stay on this side of the dirt.

    Oh it's definitely a very nice rifle and is a also a real shooter. Granted, shooting a 1moa grouping isn't the best and I can do that with my AR, but I'm 99% positive that was my doing. I've never shot prone before and I'll be honest in saying that in trying to determine where the buttstock should go, it touched my collarbone on one shot and let's just say my shoulder is pretty sore today. I might buy a slip-on recoil pad (Limbsaver) to use for a while until I get used to the shoulder placement, but the HS-Precision 1/4" piece of hard rubber is not a recoil pad.

    I've been reading a lot since yesterday about recoil mitigation and have come to the conclusion that I wasn't pulling the rifle into my shoulder hard enough, or preloading the bipod enough (though it seemed as if anytime I preloaded the bipod, the feet would just slide forward). I definitely need to be doing a lot more dryfire practice in the prone position to work in buttstock placement. However, I can honestly say that I never jerked the trigger, while a little on the heavier side, it is a very crisp, clean trigger and I probably won't change it for a long time, if ever. Sure, if it was 1lb lighter, that'd be really ideal but I'm not gonna pay a couple hundred bucks for a replacement. Time for finger pushups!

    Thanks for the recommendation on the rifle Belly! I'm really happy with it overall and know that it will be a great training platform for me for years to come.

    My boos is a worthless Liberal sack of shit that I wouldnt piss on if he was on fire. I have held my tounge going on 6+ years hoping this fucking dufuss would just get fired or get lost in the woods on one of his "Nature Walks". Everytime I'm FTF with his dumb ass allI can think about is how much of a waste of Oxygen this worthless sack is. I'm the ONLY one here that knows ever facet of the operation and does anything constructive. I pretty much told his ass off so I'm sure I will be the new red headed step child here. Whats sad is I had to explain why its not considered polite to talk about religion or politics at work, DUH Are you supposed to be a manager???


    One sec the fucking idiot forgot his badge and can't get back in the data center.......FUCKING POS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
