New "reach out and touch something" rifle.

Post by MoJo »

I have decided to put a long range rifle together on a budget. I started with a .30-'06 Remington 700ADL, a Primary Arms 4-16X44 Illuminated Mil Dot Scope, Leupold STD one piece base and rings. Right now I am in the process of getting the scope mounted to my liking.

I took it to the range today wind blowing from the South at about 15 gusts to 20. Since I had only bore sighted the rifle I decided to shoot at 25 yards to ease the agony of getting the scope zeroed. First shot was high right about 5"x6" brought her down and left next shot low left 1"x.5". Remember an inch at 25 yards is 16 1/4 minute clicks. Third shot was within 1/4" of aiming point two more in the same area about 1/2" spread. I switched to another aiming point and put three shots through the same hole! Looking at the target through the scope I could only hope I hadn't thrown the other two shots off the target. Well if there aren't pics it didn't happen. Look here.Image
