[QUOTE="Marine sniper, post: 2372429, member: 4768"] This is my 338 LAI (Wears a March 2.5 x 25 now) Rifle is sub 11 pounds with a bipod attached. I shoot 252 CE MTH bullets at 2950 out of a 24 in proof barrel / Defiance ultralight and M40 stock. It is a sub .5 MOA rifle in field conditions in the wind, etc. I usually only shoot 2 shot groups when doing field condition shooting as I am only interested in hitting as close to the center of the bull / how far away from the first shot is the second- essentially hunting style shooting. All of my shooting is in a big open field with a bipod and rear rest. Here is a range report from 2 days of shooting last fall: [TABLE] [TR] [TD]338 LAI light[/TD] [TD]distance[/TD] [TD]MOA[/TD] [TD]# shots[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]10-16-21[/TD] [TD]514[/TD] [TD]0.243[/TD] [TD]2[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]10-16-21[/TD] [TD]610[/TD] [TD]0.594[/TD] [TD]2[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]10-16-21[/TD] [TD]610[/TD] [TD]0.696[/TD] [TD]2[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]10-16-21[/TD] [TD]733[/TD] [TD]0.733[/TD] [TD]2[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]10-17-21[/TD] [TD]503[/TD] [TD]0.422[/TD] [TD]4[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]10-17-21[/TD] [TD]435[/TD] [TD]0.258[/TD] [TD]2[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]10-17-21[/TD] [TD]640[/TD] [TD]0.126[/TD] [TD]2[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]10-17-21[/TD] [TD]640[/TD] [TD]1.25[/TD] [TD]3[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [/QUOTE]
