[QUOTE="Topshot, post: 289907, member: 13285"] Well I tested her out yesterday and I had an an interesting time! I went out and sighted it dead on at 200 yards with some 500 grainers, then lasered some dirt out to about 500 yards. I then ran some numbers on my PDA. I dialed in 20 moa on my old Burris 1.75-5X21 then got down in the dirt and let rip. A couple of things soon became apparent. 1, When firing a rifle like this prone, without a muzzel brake, a sand bag behind the but is a wonderfull thing. 2, When firing prone it is impossible to spot your own shots land! By the time I recovered from the recoil the bullet had landed, although I could spot the hole in the dirt bank with my spotting scope. 3, I need a scope with bigger optics and more room for adjustment. 4, A set of mounts with 40 MOA cant would be very handy! I did manage to get some bullets to hit on the target without too much trouble, so I might put a better scope on the rifle and have a go at some longer targets. Also I think some soft cast 405 grain bullets at about 1600 fps would be a lot of fun to shoot. [/QUOTE]
