So today I went to my local shop and picked up a 308 sps varmint. Just looking at the stock I can tell Im not going to like it but the trigger, action, and bbl look and feel great. I put my super sniper on it and went to shoot it.
The soybean field where I shoot is almost always wind, today it was around 90 degrees with 15-30 mph of constant wind.
I bore sighted it and got out some cheap pmc 147g ammo. Its crap but I use the brass and I just was using it to break in the barrel with.
The first 3 shots of cheapass ($12 abox) pmc were less than an inch apart at 150 yards.
I shot half the box cleaning inbetween shots to help break the barrel in.
Next I wanted to try my 175 smk handloads.
They grouped just less than 1 inch at 150 yards.
Next were my 168 smk handloads, I only shot 2 shots and they were about 3 inches apart. (I had 3 out but one didnt fire)
Next I wanted to try some cheap 150 american eagle. A 3 shot group of 16 dollar box of american eagle grouped at 1.2 inches at 150 yards.
I was to tired and hot to shoot anymore, and I was kinda pissed at my handloads (I had 2 that didnt fire), and the wind, so I left.
But all in all I really like the rifle, it shoots much better than my stevens. lol I eventually will change the stock but not for about a month or 2.
Ill get some pic up in a minute.
