Best shot group yet with the 17WSM,Kelblys today,had to wait to shoot in between wind gusts of 10 to 15 mph.Shot Winchester,and Hornady 20 grain @3000 fps,both shot identical in this 7 shot group one flyer.but still a kill. This was witnessed by one of the range owners. Tomorrow all day Groundhogs,hopefully no misses.

Savage 17 WSM,heavy barrel-threw Savages plastic stock in the garbage. Replaced it with a Boyds Classic in forest green camo laminate,Kelblys,floated and bedded the action to the stock. Two pound trigger,and I practice relentlessly.

Very nice ! I'm assuming 100 yds?

Yes sir 100 yards,the range owner who tuned the rifle was their as a witness,not that he was needed just wanted to see if the rifle shot better than before being bedded and free floated.I took a shot at 200 yards and will post the picture later. I practice relentlessly,practice makes almost perfect,just a habit being in LE 23 years.
 
I like that! I'm hoping my Ruger #1 comes in as accurate, but I'll be happy with consistency, even at one and half inch at 100. Well, not ecstatic, but kinda happy.

Before i threw the worthless plastic stock away,and had the free float and bedding an inch and a half would have been a good day. Good luck with the Ruger,I'm sure it will get er done.
