Thanks, I am quite happy with the rifle. I am trying to optimize one thing at a time; last trip it was adjusting action screw torque to try to minimize group size., the trip before to try out the Oryx Chassis (I am very happy indeed; however the nice pistol grip was a bit big for my hand, so I swapped out the smaller one I had on my AR. Fits me much better). My YoDave trigger kit just arrived. Having installed one on a 452 a couple years ago, I am confident that it will make a great improvement to the already good trigger.
That's for my next trip; hopefully calm winds.

I've never seen then at my local CT in Exeter but I take my mom thrifting in Stratford every month or so, maybe I'll pop in there and see. Thanks and thanks for the heads up on Rangeview.
I get my targets printed at the nearest local Staples. I order the targets online and pickup the next day after receiving an email that they are ready. This is a relatively simple process, as anything must be for me when dealing with websites and computers/laptops. (I wouldn't know how to do it on a smartphone but I bet it can be done by someone more experienced than I am.)
On the Staples website, I log in and go to the Print Documents section, then to Order Documents. Upload a pdf of the target. From the menu make the appropriate selections such as layout, black and white, paper stock (65 lb cardstock). Select the number of copies desired. They are $0.26 each.
Fifty targets is $13.00, a price I think is reasonable, similar to half-a-dozen Tim's coffees. Targets are a small part of the price of shooting.
I usually get 100 at a time. Each range trip usually requires six targets for a total of four boxes of ammo, giving 20 ten-shot groups.
Results at 100 are usually not consistent. It can be tough to get three groups on the same target to produce the desired results.
A number of things must be right, including an absence of wind or a good ability to read wind flags -- a tall order at 100 yards -- and the ammo. Even top grades of ammo are not always consistent.
Below are yesterday's results, warts and all. Two different lots of Midas were used, ten groups with each. The rifle was one that I haven't posted any100 yards results with prior to this.
While only two targets averaged under 1" -- and not by much -- I think the rifle will shoot.
Shooters may have to have to shoot a lot of targets to get the desired results.

No deal. It's standard pricing, regardless of where you live. I think somewhere in the order process you may have selected an option that was more expensive.
Under the Print Colour section of the menu, I select Black & White for $0.20 per copy. That's the price I pay.
Below is a screenshot from the Staples website.
A more expensive option under the Print Colour section is, for example, the Rich Black option at $0.45 per copy.

I presumed with my old eyes (cataracts), rich black might give improved visibility. There seems to be little difference from what you posted. I won't fall for it again.

But what about ink? HP65 is only up to 120 pages on economy and its 25$. But we are talking about the official 100 yard challenge targets printing.
If I had a staples close by I'd probably get them to print them too as 12$ is a good deal.
I have made a mistake with the Staples pricing. On the screenshot shown in my previous post I neglected to select the correct Paper Stock option of 65 lb cardstock.
The price is $0.30 per page.
Fifty targets will be $15.

Interestingly, using the same ammo as last time, but with a substantial head-wind, I had to increase the elevation buy an inch to 6" from 5" Progress is being made.
