Iwent to the range this morning to fire the RRA NM for the first time. My shooting was only at 100yds. Mainly to try the rifle, make sure the mags worked well and sight in at 100yds before I go to the 200yd range.
I went to Gander Mt. and bought a 50rd box of Black Hills 68gr blue box and several boxes of Winchester white box 55gr. I only fired 60rds because I ran out of staples for putting up my targets and the temp was only 35 deg.
I started with the 55gr ammo and was quite pleased with the groups considering this was the first shots fired through this gun.The best I did with both the 55 and 68 was around a 1" group of 5 rds. I was very happy with it.
I did run into one issue though, which is at 100yds, and the rear sight all the way down, I was still shotting about an inch high. My intention was to sight in around 6 clicks up from the bottom at the rear sight by adjusting the front sight post. Not a real problem I guess since all my shooting when it really counts will be at 200 & 300 yds, but I'd like to be able to put them in the bull at 100yds also.
My problem is in trying to adjust the front sight post. I couldn't seem to get the post to turn when I pushed the plunger in with the point of a bullet. Is there a front sight adjusting tool that you guys use?
All in all I couldn't be more pleased with the new rifle. Look forward to shooting for score this summer and hopefully seeing my scores improve over last year.
