Yesterday I found out the access road into the quarry was open, so I decided today was the day to shoot before the next three days of wind, snow, and rain got here.
22 degrees and the wind was up already when I got there, and the quarry had it's usual funky wind going on. Right to left, then left to right, and sometimes from both ways at the same time, and the ribbons on the frame would go straight up.
Set the target up at 200 yards between the gravel piles and the end loader they brought it last week, the reason the road was open.
Shot one at 50, then moved back to 200, cranked the scope to 16X and shot another.
Moved the scope and banged off three at the upper left bull:
Moved the scope three clicks up, and shot the upper right bull, a .710".
I cranked the scope back down to 4 power and shot five shots at the middle right bull. It was tough to hold in the middle as the red ring was barely visible. 1st shot hit the 9 ring at 3 0'clock, next shot was the 10 o'clck 9, 3rd back in the 3 o'clock hole, 4th in the 10 o'clock hole, and the 5th was between them.
The middle left bull, I cranked the scope down to 4 and back to 16 three times. The power ring turns hard... I had to stand up to turn it each time. Hopefully it'll loosen up a bit more.
Last test was the lower left bull. There's 12 MOA per revolution on the turret, so between each shot I would crank it either up or down 12 MOA and back and shoot. Repeatability looks to be A-OK.
I quit at this point, as I only had the one target. Last test will probably be to see how the clicks add up, then shoot long if/when I can get to my LR spot.
