Hi guys...
last winter I traded my tactical shotgun for a Norinco M305 from a member here... I bought a new ArchAngel stock and put it in there, I found an aluminum top rail (UTG) and scope mount. I mounted my Leatherwood ART II M1000 on it, and that's where it all stayed. I never really had time to develop a load, or even really sight it in, untill today. During the winter, I made up 30 or so loads, consisting of 155 gn Amax, and 46 gn varget. Stock COAL. So today I set out to zero the scope, and try and set the ARTII cam numbers. Turns out it was windy as heck. So i settled on zeroing it at 100 meters for now.
Well, all in all I think I got lucky, as this thing seems to be a shooter right out of the gate! I wouldnt be surprised if it will be capable of 2-3" groups at 100 meters, without any tuning! A couple of my shots were almost on top of each other! out of five shots on one string, 2 were just high of the bull, within 1/2" of each other, and another 2 were just under the bull, approx the same apart! and one was a flyer, as I flinched with the ridiculously heavy trigger. When I get a windless day, I will set out to see what its really capable of.... anyways, here's a pic of it, wearing my Zeiss Z51 NV scope. ;-)
