I doubt that I will make it on Sunday, but I'll be there tomorrow AM for some sporting clays. Looks like the weather is gonna be pretty crappy.

Unfortunately, I don't have a choice of days....it is a corporate tourney.
Tim, I am gonna throw the Celestron in the truck anyway to maybe check it out at the rifle line after the clays if it isn't storming. Give me a call if you have a spare minute to swing by. Tony, I am probably not the best instructor as I'm only about a 70% shooter, but we can sure go out and have some fun anyway when you get your weapon. We can also go hit some skeet at the local place pretty inexpensively. |

No can do today sir John. I have a football tournament followed by practice in the afternoon. Today is as good as wasted and hopefully I dont have to swallow a bottle of ibuprofen afterward. Enjoy shooting the clays. |

No doubt! It wasn't too sloppy when I left at 1145 hours, but it also hadn't started raining too heavy yet either.... like it did the whole way home. I managed to get 74 birds; not that bad considering the wind and light rain....nor having even picked up the O&U for almost a year. High overall was 91 from a normally 95+ shooter to give a feel for the course/conditions. I'd like to visit with you a bit about the use of the SP tools that you recommended; I'll give you a phone call if you don't mind? |

Man you guys missed out. Perfect day, wind died around noon, and got this group in at 200 yard.
Thats a .930" which is roughly half MOA.  |

I am embarrassed to post my groups from this weekend. I went to my inlaw's place and shot from the prone-Bipod posiiton at 185 yards and was getting 3-4 inch groups. I haven't shot fromt he ground like that since about 1990.

What should the rifle be capable of do you think?

Well, SC is normally a better shot than that - I saw that myself a few weekends back.
Maybe it is the caliber of the rifle causing problems? j/k Seriously, prone is a completely different animal than shooting off the bench. It takes some practice to get comfortable and in a repeatable position. |

I would say something, but atleast you show up to the range...

What ammo were you using? 3-4 inch groups at that distance is not unreasonable for many types of 5.56 ammo. That is a 5.56? |

6.8mm SPC. 110 gr hornady HPs with 29grn of Reloader 10-X The rifle is capable of much more. Part of it weas my shooting position. |
