Well after posting those groups the other day I decided to scrub it down, put more magnification on and see what I could wring out of it today.
First things first though. Sam and I made a couple of stands this morning and took this large male. The footage is pretty cool with all the fog.
After this morning hunt I cleaned her real well and switched scopes. Those Larue mounts sure make it easy as I already had a 3.5-10X VXII in a mount and had already had it sighted in. Swithching the two out took less time than for me to type this (I type with two fingers /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif ).
All shots were with 55 grain accutip-v's
The first group was high but a very impresive .43.
I dialed it to the center and fired a total of 8 more groups. I decide to got with 3 shot groups as not to warn the gun to fast and to save on ammo.
Here are all the groups fired. I cut them out so I could superimpose them over one target to get the size of the group for the intire range session.
I used an ink pen to color in the holes while laying the targets over this target. I doubt many coyotes will slip through that.
The groups averaged .89 fron a total of 9 groups. The barrel did get a little warm but not bad to the touch. The group for the total of the 24 shots after the scope adjustment was 1.55
To my way of thinking, that is pretty dang good for a rifle that weighs under 7 pounds. Heck that is pretty good for any factory rifle firing factory ammunition.
Good Hunting and God Bless,
