Im just hoping that my MOA adjustments on my scope come back to zero repeatibly. Thanks again!

Tune your trigger down closer to 2 or 2.5lbs.

Defintely feel what 2-2.5 pounds feels like before you do it. I have a .243 that is a great shooter, has a 2 pound trigger pull. I had one accidental discharge when coyote hunting and wearing thick winter gloves. Just barely touching the trigger while getting ready to shoot sent a premature round down range, thankfully in a safe direction. Needless to say, if I need to wear gloves, I keep that rifle at home.
Just a thought.......
