Federal Gold Medal Match, 168 grain. West End Gun Club, CA. slightly windy conditions. 10:30PM. Targets were lit with a Pelican 9460 area light. Hate shooting at night, but work schedule does not permit otherwise.
Shots were taken at slightly over 100 yards.

A closer view:
I have less than 80 rounds down the pipe, and I am new to shooting precision bolt rifles. I am sure that I have a long way to go with my limited experience. I am very impressed with the fit, finish, and quality of this rifle. So much so that I am requesting R&D to build me another rifle in cal .260.
Randy has been patient and helpful with tons of my 'noobie' questions, both before and after the sale. He is a true professional, and I can't recommend him enough. Also helps that he lives close by!
Thanks again Randy!
