Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting Remington 760

First group fired with the rifle. Not zeroed in at this point:



It's nice when a new (to you) rifle shoots sub moa on the first group you fire with it, but 1.339" isn't too bad from a pump gun and 200gr. pills...

Next group fired:


Remember, I'm working on loads for this one right now and the bore is still pretty copper fouled.....

Next group:


Figured I better check this load again since it shot sub moa on a windy as fu ck day. I re-adjusted the scope to get closer to the orange dot:


Wind blew my target stand down once and then it started to sprinkle. I wanted to test the function of the rifle with some off hand shots. 5 shots in about 5 seconds:



The slide felt a little gritty compared to my lefty wingmaster, but it worked great. The trigger broke very crisp and cleanly. The LOP is still a hair short, but I figure with hunting jacket on it will be about perfect. I think I am going to leave this one alone: Not even put the recoil pad on it either since it is really a puzzy cat to shoot. I'm liking it quite a bit and think the 200gr. Partition is elk worthy. I'm glad I bought those 400 when they were $13.45/bag. Nothing wrong with these seconds from SPS.. ..


I forgot to mention, I did as my buddy RGK suggested and shot 3 shot groups and while I was letting the barrel cool I shot some groups with my 223 rem. I had to test the wind with the little boring rifle. It wasn't shooting as well as it normally does, so I know the wind had an effect on the groups today. Exactly how much? I wont' know until the next time out.



Well, I better go and clean the ol girl. More copper to mine...
