It was my first time ever. Not just with this rifle. I also shot at that distance shortly after with my new M70 Extreme Weather in 30-06. That shot a bit flatter but not much. 3/4-1" maybe. I did site that dead on at 100 as well because it has a CDS Reticle in the VX-2 3-9 x 40.

It made 200 a lot easier. 200 was the furthest I've shot before yesterday. 100 seemed like a chip shot after that. I'll be doing more of it for sure!


Camp is where you make it.
