Put in a little bench time this morning and got fine tuned after putting a muzzle device on, and changing ammunition from last year. First three shots weren't far off, being just an inch left, so I fine tuned, and am ready for the opener tomorrow! Never take anything for granted. Check that zero! Molɔ̀ːn Labé Skýla!

Much better than s cheese grater hanging off the end of it. I check zero if I change loads. Originally Posted by raybass I try to stick with the basics, they do so well.
