[QUOTE="Prairie Sasquatch, post: 2961426, member: 124243"] So I finally got a chance to shoot this .243 Cooper rifle. I mounted a 3-9 Leupold I had sitting around. I really like the total weight with this set up. Not sure I’ll leave this scope on but I wanted to at least shoot it. Today was cold but at least calm and I needed to chrono a load for my 22-250AI and a coyote load for 22-250. I had some 70 grain loads that shot well out of my Tikka .243 and they weren’t top end so I figured they should be plenty safe to at least get it on paper. Set up a sheet at 50 yards and bore sighted. Looked pretty good through the scope and it ended up being only an inch left at 50 yards. Made the scope adjustment and shot a three shot group at 100 yards. I think it will shoot better as I was freezing and not as steady as I should have been. Either way Im really happy with its first trip to the range with zero load development. This thing should be an awesome carry deer and coyote rifle and perfect for my youngest daughter to shoot deer with. [/QUOTE]
