Here are some pictures of the groups: 100 yards: 200 yards: 300 yards: This target is two separate 3 shot 100 yard groups. One on each side of the "10" I shot one then bumped the scope two clicks and shot the other one: Member: Clan of the Turdlike People.

Barrel is a bit lighter than Rem varmint, I think it's a Lilja, but may be mistaken. 22" plus Holland brake. Manners carbon fiber stock. Alloy rail and 35mm Seekins alloy rings. Scope is a Vortex Razor 5-20x50 with MRAD reticle. He's shooting 208s at 2900 fps. It's a hammer at one mile. Last summer we were plinking out to 2300 yards with it, courtesy of a PLRF-10 rangefinder. For a tac style rig it's surprisingly light, even with the Hubble glass. It's a shooter.
