Bringing this back to life. Justin, Littlebuf & I are going to head up Saturday morning for some longer shooting. Hoping to get some 575 yard shots with this gun. Snow dependent.

Hey Brock I noticed you are keeping track of your shot counts - did you follow any type of new rifle barrel break in procedure? I am a bow guy but have a new rifle that I am setting up and the information on the interweb is all over the place on whether you need to breakin a rifle barrel or not?

All I did was clean after each 3 shot group for the first box of ammo. I feel like its one of those things where if you ask 10 people you'll get 10 different answers.

Do we know what time we are heading out Saturday? Rob might join us too.

Well we are back from shooting a little distance today. It was a good time and a little interesting when it came to the snow and the road.

I shot 20 more rounds of the factory ammo and I was very pleased with the performance at 577 yards. I shot 6 times at 746 yards but I wasn't happy. We had some stiff wind and I ran out of ammo before I got it dialed in to my liking. Anyway, enjoy the photos. This gun continues to impress me and hopefully we can get back up and do some more shooting soon.




Here is the 577 plate. Green and blue dots are my 2 best groups. We had a pretty gnarly crosswind in the canyon.


Here is the plate from everyone at 746 yards

Jager, Its Justin's. Not sure where it came from.

That's actually my rear bag that I use with my bipod.

It works pretty well.
