I picked up my SPR A1 yesterday that I ordered from Mike @ Tac Cord. This is my first centerfire precision rifle; I've got a savage MK II TR that I bought to get started in bolt gun shooting about a year ago.
Great day at the range today - it was 67 F when I got to the range at 8:00 am today. Yes, 67 degrees. In Texas. In August.
Had tons of fun with the new rifle, I mounted and boresighted the scope yesterday so today I fired 2 shots on the 50 yard range and moved to the 100 yard range and fired 1 to zero it. I'll post all of my groups, but none of them are pretty. As I mentioned this is my first real precision rifle so I've got a lot of learning to do and the rifle can shoot a whole lot better than what I did with it today. That being said I was still pretty happy for my first day out.
First, the obligatory rifle pic:
First pic is the first group @ 100 yards. 5 shots, 1.258 MOA
Federal Gold Metal Match 168 gr
Shot at the top was for zeroing at 100.
Second pic:
2nd group of the day is the bottom target. 168 gr FGMM, 5 shots, .881 MOA
3rd group is the top target. 175gr FGMM, 5 shots, .735 MOA
Third pic:
4th group - top target. 175 gr FGMM, 5 shots, .639 MOA
5th group - bottom target. 168 gr FGMM, 7 shots, .773 MOA
6th group - middle target. 175 gr FGMM, 10 shots, 1.076 MOA
