Hell yeah! Great feeling when a new rifle does that!Standard T3X 30-06, Sierra Gamechanger 165 TGK 10 round group 100yds
Edit:
This was first rounds through this rifle, did all tikka stock prep minus sanding barrel chamber on factory stock. Torqued stock to specs. Mounted NF SHV 3-10 to torque specs in DNZ 2piece rings, and once I got through boresighting which I’m admittedly not good at, I fired to get on paper a couple times, hit high left. Adjusted elevation lower, fired once more, in line with center of target. Adjusted windage right, and this was the 10 round zero. Best group of my life.
Then, wanted to test if it was the rifle or me, I put an X on left edge, and fired.
That’ll do
Recently decided to switch to UM tikka rings to try and get rid of another weak point out of my system. Only to discover that I am in fact the weak point in my system at this point in time. I feel like I am struggling to get a consistent cheek weld and grip issues? Unfortunately the public range is only open 2 times a month and you are not allowed to target shoot in the hunting units so I probably won’t be able to shoot anymore groups anytime soon. Current setup is T3x 6.5cm in a Rokstok with a 24in Proof with SRS Ti 3port brake, Um Tikka rings, Maven RS1.2, shooting factory 147s at 2704. Every screw is degreased, paint penned, witness marked, and torqued Form spec. First picture was a 5 shot initial zero, second picture is a 9 round “confirmation” group, third picture is another 9 round group but the dot fell off. All shot prone from bipod and rear bag. Any tips or insights appreciated.
1.5 inch dot. No suppressors unfortunatelyHow big is your dot?
Unless you are not allowed to use a suppressor, using a suppressor is the number one thing you can do to make your rifle easier to shoot well.
I would try without the brake. I shoot worse with brakes anticipating the blowback and noise.Recently decided to switch to UM tikka rings to try and get rid of another weak point out of my system.
