Well, I finally got my scope mounted and decided I should get my butt over to a range to sight it in. I got a few different types of ammunition and some other stuff to take out there. Aside from the guy next to me shooting a belted Weatherby mag rapidly , it was a pleasant experience. I won't type up a whole lot because the pictures pretty much speak for themselves.
First group of the day, first shots through the rifle with the scope not adjusted. (.344 - .224 = .120)
I put these dots on the paper after a while. Various groups at 50 yards with the rifle almost sighted in. There were a few fliers that were my fault, but my rest setup was terrible. That's something I'll need to work on before I really start shooting this thing a lot.
Final round I put through the target today. That was with the Wolf/SK Target Match at 50 yards.
Now for the finale, this really surprised me as well. Wolf/SK Target Match at 50 yards, 5 shot group. (.493 - .224 = .269)
So there's my range report, these are pretty awesome groups but I'm not close to testing out all the ammunition available. These were $4 per 50 boxes of ammunition at the most, there are plenty of higher lines of SK, some Eley and other brands that I haven't tried yet. For a $550 rifle with $150 worth of scope and rings, I'm more than pleased.
