[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1064486, member: 30902"] No Brother, I'm crazy as hell but I'm definitely NOT suicidal! Went back out today, learned a good bit more. Set up on the bench at the firing range and was not at all happy with my first six shots sighting in. They were kind of all over, mostly high and left. It dawned on me then I was being very inconsistent in my form and out of habit on the bench just trying to let it free recoil using my left hand on the rear bag. Light rifle (for me) 300gr bullet and a heavy load pushing it. It suddenly dawns on me that at these velocities the bullet is staying in the tube about twice as long as it does with most of the rest of my centerfires! Adjusted my form... . Started putting my free hand on the top of the scope giving slight downward pressure. Guess what? Yep suddenly it tightens right up! This was with the 110gr/vol loads. When I'd run through all 12 of those I had to wing it since I could not plug in the electric scale. Backed off just a tad for my final six to what I'm thinking is going to be right around Doc's sweet spot of 107gr. My last six shots made 4 holes and this included 2 minor adjustments on the scope! I'll load up five tubes eyeballing it as I did this afternoon and see just where I come out weight wise. I'm about to come to the conclusion that this thing is a real shooter even with me behind the trigger! BTW this rifle has the second best factory trigger I have ever fingered second only to my CZ singe set triggers! I'm thinking someone at the factory really screwed up because it's definitely under 1.5lbs and I haven't even touched it to adjust it at all.gun) [/QUOTE]
