I just put together a .308 with a Savage receiver, Shilen bull barrel and HS precision stock. I went to the range yesterday to break her in even with a NW wind at 15 - 17 mph
The accuracy of this Rifle is nothing short of amazing, at least to me it is. I am not an experienced Bench shooter, so my techniques are not perfect by any means.
I bore sighted the rifle and shot at 100 yds using a Trijicon 5-20x50 accupoint. I found 5 shot tight groups with Federal Gold match and Hornady ammo. I used some PMC after and the best the PMC ammo could do was 2 moa I thought how unfortunate because I can buy it so cheap. I guess I just learned why its so cheap.
This is all new to me and I'm pretty pumped up to do more shooting. I want to Thank RAGGED here on MNGT for all his help. He got me set up and is a wealth of info.
I included a picture of one target group. After my second shot, I noticed a fly landed on my target. Of course I had to swing my POA there SPLAT! you can see a very small amount of what remains of the fly.
I'm anxious to go back when there is no wind. It would seem at 100 yards the wind doesn't affect the trajectory very much.
And by the way, I'm giving up on bringing targets to the range. I'm thinking jelly or something to attract flies LOL ( no I'm not going to smear that on paper to attract flies!) I know where your deranged minds wonder!
