Me and my wife went to the range for the first time with my new mistress Saturday. Even though it didn’t turn out as well as I planned, it’s always a good day when you get range time. The worst part was trying to dail in a new scope with 20-30 mph full value winds at 3 o’clock to 9 o’clock. Not to mention one of the coldest days lately.

My "Mistress"
-Rem 700 SPS TACT AAC-SD .308
-Leupold Vari X-III 3.5-10x40 Tactical
-5.11 Long Range VTAC Sling
-Bi-Pod

and her food - off the shelf 150 gr Remington Core Lokt

I did manage to get a couple of halfway decent groups but nothing to write home to mom about. Wifey even wanted to give a go and took one the last groups before ammo and winds forced use to call it a day.

I figured I would go ahead and post without pictures, but I’ll try to get a couple of pictures up later tonight.

What distance? What is the size of the circle? Looks to be about an inch. I think with good ammo you will shoot better. My stock 700P will group right at an inch or under when I do my part with FGMM 168's or 175's. It does like 168's slightly better but they won't shoot as far.

I had just mounted the scope about 30 mins before so I needed start close and then back off to try and save on ammo. I still ran out though.

You are correct the circle was about an inch or so. I just drew one to put the cross hairs on something.
