That is a very nice rig. The video is very well done also. Welcome to LRH.com. Hope you stick around and share some more vids of that caliber (pun intended). How well was it grouping at 960yds?

Thanks Liltank.

I had mostly 2-3 inch groups at 550 yards. 960 yards was considerably more difficult as the winds kept shifting and I had no spotter. Given the lush surroundings I could not spot my misses, only my hits. Took a few rounds to get on target, would make several consecutive hits, until the winds changed again. The consecutive hits seemed to group around 6 inches. Should have put out a bigger target (only 15x25 inches) since I was solo with wind.

Sounds like a real shooter. Keep up the good work. Practice, practice, practice!

I'm his shooting partner, and I can vouch for that being one shaweet shooting rig!!! Easiest gun to shoot well I have ever had the privilege to squeeze the trigger on.

What lens did you use for the first parts of the video? I just ordered a 50mm 1.4 for my T1i - looks like you used one similar.

Thanks CRNA and Wildrose.

CRNA, you sure can shoot it!

Nomadpilot, I used a 30mm 1.4 and a 100mm macro for the non-shooting shots. For the bullet trace a 70-200 2.8 was used at 200 with the T2i 7x magnification mode. It pretty closely resembles the trace when viewed through a spotting scope.
