I was planning on going to the range this weekend, but I got very lucky today and finished work early. I quickly ran home and picked up my gear and hit the road. Since it was my first time firing my rifle i had to get it on target which required wasting a few bullets. I was basically zeroed in after 6 shots. I was so excited to finally use my rifle that I forgot to loosen the set screws on my turrets when adjusting the windage and elevation... Dumb move, i hope i didn't do any damage.
RIFLE: SAKO TRG 22 6.5CM
SCOPE: Vortex Razor HD Gen 2 4.5-27
Range: 100 yards (50 to start and get on paper)
Ammo: Hornady Precision Hunter ELD-X 143 gr. and Hornady Custom Match ELD-M 140gr
I zeroed the rifle with the Precision Hunter ammo so i did not get to shoot as many groups as I did with the Match ammo.

Overall i was extremely happy with the results, considering it was the first time firing the rifle. I am sure with some practice and fine tuning i can do even better with this set up. I am also really impressed by the Hornady ammo I used, i will definitely use it again.
