All shots were at 50 yards with Monarch 55gr steel cased .223. Only one failure to fire out of 280 rounds. The striker hit the round but no combustion. I'm gonna blame the ammo, not the rifle.
After many, many, many, many, many adjustments I decided this was as close as I was going to get to a true zero.
This was my second target after the zeroing in process. 30 rounds all inside the square!
Pretty good grouping except for those two little wanderers there on the bottom right.
Third fresh target after zero. I was having trouble hitting the smaller squares in the corners because at the 50 yard mark the reticle completely occluded the target making it next to impossible to visualize. Then, out of nowhere I got the idea to reduce the intensity(power/brightness) of the reticle so I could kind of see thought it and still be able to put it on target. I couldn't believe it took me so long to figure that out....it seriously was like a light bulb moment, I felt kind of silly about not thinking of it sooner.
After that minor adjustment I wore out that top right!!!!
30 rounds in each square.
All in all I'd have to say that I am extremely pleased with the days events and the accuracy of my current set up. hopefully it will be just as accurate at 100 yards once I get either a powered scope or a magnafier for my current sight.
ohhhhh the possibilities
Oh good grief! Give the man a break! I'm in awe of the pics he posted. 
Thanks !
