Ok then, on to accuracy.


1st, where I shot.



45-50 yards, indoors, dark.
Target and post reticle both fuzzy though the scope at this distance.
Will be easier at 100yds or more.

1st. Target



Center and top left target shot with Federal 180gr Power-Shok commercial loads with Speer Hot-cor soft point bullets.
Center target shot first with cleaned, un-fouled barrel, three shots.
Then top left target with 3 more, same ammo.

Then shot top right target with 3 Federal 150gr soft point commercial load. All three shots where extreme top right corner.


Next three shots aimed at top right during sight corrections for 150gr load.

Then shot both of bottom targets, three each with the same 150gr load.

Adding the black patches help aiming, but still had to fight to get decent sight picture with fuzzy post reticle.
Held tip of post to 6 o'clock of black patches,
I believe this rifle will easily shoot these groups at 100yds, or better with the same 4x scope. Should get 1/2 MOA with a 9x.

Mounts seem to be OK now, POI was changing the first time I tried it last week.
Once I get to shoot it outdoors, then we'll see if what part of the bedding has to be looked at.

Last targets shot:



A friend put two shots into bottom right target and I shot three into the middle target.
All of these the 150gr Federal load.
