Took her out today and despite the steady 20 mph+ crosswinds, (right to left) I am starting to see improvement in my shooting. This is my first bolt gun and my first venture into precision shooting. I shot 30 rounds with it after shooting 80 thru my PTR-91. Took a few rounds to manage the big trigger change. Then this was my first attempt at a 5 round group (100 yds)...
I dont have a gauge but center to center of upper left round to bottom right round is 7/8 in.
Then I went to 200 yds and shot this group...
I blame Lowlight for the flier! The round on the right was the last in the string. If I could have stopped at four it would have been center to center 1.16 in. As it turns out it is 2.0in.
Then I went back to 100 yds and finished off the last eight rounds of a box with this...
The first round of the string was the center bull (Lull in the wind? I don't know). The last 7 measure 7/8 in, with the first round 1.25. Center bull was my POA for all rounds.
Here's the rifle...
It's obvious that the 5R is much better than I am but I'm making progress and that is encouraging.
Comments and critique welcome. I'm thinking I may still have a heavy trigger finger.
