I got it sighted in @ 25, then 50 then took it out to 100 yards and like I said, it was brutal shooting conditions. The wind was between quartering and crosswind and I was NOT getting a good steady hold on the bullseye at all due to the wind and me freezing my butt off so I didn't have very good expectations on the target at all, but here's what 7 shots @ 100 yards ended up looking like for it. It measured out to be just under a 1-1/2" 7 shot group. But with the conditions I had, I'll take it! I'm sure I can shoot less than 1" groups w/o any trouble at all with better shooting conditions.
Not bad group for conditions. I learned the 17s don't do well in the wind, in WY, on the Pdog fields. If I was shooting into or with the wind, it was easy to hit Pdogs out to about 150. Quartering, or crossing, winds, and forget it. That was a waste of ammo. I would switch to my 6mm WOA, or the 22-250, and Pdogs died. But, yes that rifle should go MOA, or better, with that ammo, in better conditions. You may get the occasional flier, but that is probably on the ammo.
