Im getting ready to do it now. I have a severe lack of nice targets. You guys will have to live with a traced circle on an index card lol

Well heck, I'll post up first pics (sorry, these were only 4 shot groups). Put a new XLR Envy Chassis on a Remington 5R Gen2 yesterday. These are the first shots out of it using 140gr Hornady Gunner factory ammo.

I was racing the dark and know the flyers were my fault. Plan to turn the weight of the trigger down 4 oz and take my time next trip out. I use sandbag in front, v bag in rear and sling locked into left elbow for stability. Now if I can just get the ninja breathing down to calm the heartbeat a bit....

Bring your trigger back up to about 20-24oz and you will tighten your groups up. A 4oz trigger is for free recoil shooting.

Another fun one would be but take some time. Go out an shoot 5 cold bore shots all on different days and see how well your rifle, you, and your ammo can make a small group. It gives you a decent indication of what that opening morning of hunting season will be like. By luck I took my wife out one day to shoot and was letting her do most of the shooting but I had taken my 300RUM with my hunting loads out also. Cold bore at 1042 yards I put the first shoot on a 6" steal plate. My wife reaction was, WOW!! I cant believe you did that. I was shooting prone and jumped up with a big smile picked up my gun and put it back in the case. And with a pompous big grin, I looked over at her and said I'm good for the day. You can keep practicing. I think that was probably one of the luckiest shots I made to date. It was a spot that I practice at a lot and shoot rocks on the side of the hill so yes a lot of luck for a factory gun but I still was used to doing the shot but usually not quite that good. Most time the first 3 shot dance around 10 to 12 inches at this distance if I shoot for a 3 to 5 shot group. Wind seem to always be the killer. That day we had zero wind and it was supper still. Good shooting morning with temps in the upper 40's. If I wasn't the process of moving I would be up for the shoot.

Luck is a preparedness meeting opportunity. I tend to do things like this when I shot with my wife or the kids and I believe it's because I tend to concentrate a whole bunch more. Mostly so I don't make an *** of myself, however, all the shots in practice are why they get made when they absolutely have to be made. The last time that happened for me was about 10 years ago when I was teaching her sons. They were shooting about a 3" pattern at 200 yds and complained about the gun not shooting well. I center punched the cross of the bull about as perfect as could be done handed him back the rifle and said try again. Turned away so I could smile at my wife knowing I just pulled a rabbit out of my butt

Groups were shot laying prone on the deck using bog pod death grip as front rest with a wadded up bath towel for a rear rest. Temps were 20 degrees, light 1-3 mph breeze, cold cold breeze. 100 yards. I shot the first 5 then, adjusted zero. I blame the bad vertical on using a towel for a rear rest. I'll do another tomorrow maybe !! Thanks

My control group

I shoot when there's 2ft on the ground

I agree they do but I hate to drive out there because the road never gets plowed or treated and you are all over the road getting out there and I have a cv axle out in my truck. When it snowed within an hour there was already 60 accidents in this county alone.
