[QUOTE="Black67, post: 797292, member: 41359"] Well, some of you might laugh at this. I finally shot my two new rifles today. About a year and half ago I bought a M70 stainless Featherweight in 30-06 and then last year I bought a M70 Sharpshooter 7mm STW from Butterbean. So, the STW has Nikon Monarch 4-16x with Side Focus on it, and I installed the tall target knobs too. Once I was on paper to where I was happy at 50 yards, I moved to 100 yards. I had to move it a bit to get it where I wanted at 100 yards, then I went for a group. Now, this is with factory ammo too, as I am still not setup for reloading. So, the group was with two almost in one hole, moved the scope on the first shot in the string as I was not happy with where it was at. Then I shot the '06 for a few so the STW could cool. I shot 3 more, with two almost in one hole and one touching. I am very impressed, as the barrel was dirty. The factory load was Federal Premium, 160 gr Sierra Game King BT's, 3200 fps. This is an old load that I have had, with about 6 boxes to boot. Maybe next week I will take the Ruger No.1 STW out and see how that is shooting [/QUOTE]
