OTOH, I've got better scopes on other rifles and can't do any better than I can with that rig, usually a lot worse. That lot of Pistol King is long gone, sad to say. It IS a lot of fun trying to shoot tiny groups, though. You can roll a turd in peanuts, dip it in chocolate, and it still ain't no damn Baby Ruth.

The Fecker is a bit easier to fine tune for parallax with said adjuster in the middle of the scope barrel, when sitting in position at the bench, instead of having to reach the whole way out to turn the objective bell. Very small convenience, admittedly. Good to know. I spread the love for good optics.. modern and period I enjoy the older externally adjustable sights for bench work. I use to get a lot of grief for mounting em on the older target guns....but the tables have turned and others are following suit. (grin) History lessons..

Shots 9 and 10 start stressing me when I see that type group in scope lol. 338' I didn't write it down or measure the targets but I believe it was Federal Gold Medal Ultra Match. The red circle is 1" and the white circle is 1/4.". Targets are custom made...30 opportunities per sheet Unfortunately UM ihas been discontinued. It's the one premium ammo that performs very well in all my rifles. The Vudoo also does well with Center X and Midas +

Found out on Friday evening I have been invited to compete in the NRL22 National Championships near Nehawka, NE, Memorial Day weekend. I have 1-1/2 bricks of it's favorite lot of Lapua Center X i've been saving along with a case of a recent lot of Center X I shoot in monthly and regional NRL22X matches. This morning the plan is to go to the range and shoot five 10-shot groups a 100 to see which one will go to Nebraska. I'll try and post pics later today. Alan [Linked Image]

Was able to shoot one group each lot # of Center X and it started snowing but the wind picked up and was blowing from 10-11 o'clock about 8-10 mph. Packed up and went home. Hope to go into work early and shoot the groups in our "100 right" indoor range before my swing shift starts. Alan [Linked Image]

To my eye, the 2nd lot ending in 911 shot better even though, taking the entire group (flyers and all) in account, they both averaged 1.24". The first group from each lot was the center group. I hadn't started placing the front legs of the Atlas bipod against the window yet. Once I did, the groups settle down. Alan [Linked Image]

Maybe one lucky group out of a hundred was that good, but not consistently. Heck, groups that size could win a lot of benchrest competitions if you could do it consistently....

I have shot a lot of BR-50,ARA and NBRSA group shoots,have sorted ammo every way imaginable,owned and shot Anschutz 54's and 2013's,Rem. 40x's,Win.52's and Calfee XP100's with factory and aftermarket barrels and don't recall seeing back to back 1/2" groups shot in competition,and I shot with some of the best rf shooter out there, albeit 20 years ago.

He was shooting with a custom rifle,very good ammo and most importantly, indoors And his real world groups were 1 1/4ish 1/2” or less outdoors at 100 simply isn’t happening with any sort of consistency She never made it past the bedroom door, what was she aiming for...? She's gone shootin..
