Looks good enough for me - a new .308

[Big Fin]

I am not the world's best shot, so I need all the help I can get.

This is a 3-shot group with Federal Gold Match .308 Win - 175 gr Sierra Match King Boattail. Damn good results, even for the best of factory ammo.

Shot, at the factory, from a new rifle I am trying out. I have become rather partial to the .308 since Breaks Runner preached to me the virtues of that caliber. Killed a couple elk and some deer with one last year, and hope to provide the same opportunities for this one.

This rifle will be going to Alaska with me in May, along with a .300Win. Looking forward to getting time with them at the range before the day of reckoning.

Well, you succeeded. Damn you.

 

[cornfed]

Its always nice to know that the gun has the ability to shoot like that, and with factory loads wow.

 

[idnative1948]

Well, you succeeded. Damn you.

Or after hucking up a hill with your lungs burning trying to close the deal. Not being a SA, have just been there after for 40+.

That leaves little room to wiggle when filming....I grouping like that is of great desire.

You called first dibs. What caliber you thinking?

I witnessed a 300 yard shot in a 30 mile an hour cross wind last year out of one of his 308's. I asked him where he aimed and he said "his rump". I would of missed completely by putting the crosshairs on the vitals. On the other hand he provided us ammo for doubt by showing us a bad miss on an antelope a few years back

So does this mean you no longer need that Kimber 308?

 

[sweetnectar]

What did you say the yardage was for that group?

 

[Big Fin]

So does this mean you no longer need that Kimber 308?

Need. Oh yeah, I NEED every firearm I have ever owned.

What did you say the yardage was for that group?

100 yards. From a shooting vice.

Randy you just jinxed yourself. Now if you miss we'll know it was operator error and not the weapon

 

[DavidKeenan]

That's dang good group even in a vice. Shoot you can't get any closer if you had the target directely in front of the target.

 

[Big Fin]

Randy you just jinxed yourself. Now if you miss we'll know it was operator error and not the weapon

With the exception of the broken scope ring on the CO antelope hunt, it is always operator error, when I am the operator. That goes without question.

But, doesn't mean I won't try to blame it on equipment. Just gonna be hard to make it stick in this instance.

 

[NChunter]

That group looks good enough for anybody.

 

[Hem]

Good shooting,Randy.

Now let's see you do that with your bow
