[QUOTE="emp1953, post: 2754053, member: 71817"] When they first came available I picked up a Sig 970SHR at a gun show, NIB for $650 in 270win., I had been loading 270's for a my son so I just took some of those rounds to the range. I had boresighted a 3-15 Nikon Monarch and proceeded to punch paper. I did not touch the scope settings. The first 3 shots were at an inch at 100 yds. I checked torque on all the optics mountings and continued shooting. The loads were 51gr of H4350 130gr Nosler Partitions, CCI200 primers and unfired (demilled) federal brass. I got it down to 3/4" and from there proceeded to zero the scope. 5 shots later it was zeroed at 100. It has continued to shoot that kind of group to this day and has accounted for lots of game. I moved up to 150gr noslers and had to fiddle with the charge weight and bullet seating depth a little but achieved even better results. Since 1999 dependable. [/QUOTE]
