I'm sure she can do better that this in the hands of a better shooter (5 shot group at 100 meters)




Damn .... even my measuring tape is "low budget" LOL

Nice rig - thanks for sharing!

Your load and bullet choice seems to be an almost universal accurate combination for the 308.

You probably could have gone with "Low" rings by the look of it.

What's your opinion on the Bolt Lift Kit?

Very sweet rig indeed!

A little hard to lock in place at first, but after a few rounds she started getting smooth. Just what the seller was saying it's a little easier to lift the bolt handle compared to the stock one.

I know hat you're saying about the low rings, but 35mm rings are a little hard to find on the cheap side.

Here's another result I got yesterday from the range. Same bullet and load. (100 meters)

looks like you have a bit of vertical stringing there . there is a nice article on that at this site. http://www.6mmbr.com/verticaltips.html

i have the same exact rifle. i love it, but my groups were way tighter with the same bullet, but in federal factory trim. My groups were with a badger thruster brake, and i find that when im not worried about recoil.

Thanks for the tip .... still learning my way thru target shooting. Lots to go hehehehe

I'll start at 100m and slowly make my way up.

Cheers
