The last 2 years when we go hunting; (3 of us) we have a spot where we can safely shoot a target without disturbing hunters. We set up and shoot a target at 300 yards.

I shot one shot on it in 2010 and saved the target. It was the only shot I fired.

This year we set up our targets and I fired one more shot at last years target, at 300 yards.

I used the 300 yard cross hair in my scope. It is shooting about 3 inches high at 300 yards but I can live with that.

The two bullets fired a year apart are under an inch.

A very stable rifle. Now if I could just find a moose to shoot...

The 3 of us were lucky this year, we got a nice young bull on our last day of hunting... the only one seen in 9 days...I didn't even go out that morning, I was starting to break up camp as we were leaving very early the next morning...
