We got Jeff all scoped up last night. He bought a Zeiss Conquest 3.5-10x44 mm with the Z600 reticle in it. Got it for $650.00 and he laid the cash down for it! 8) I lapped the rings and mounted the scope. Used that box of Federal 180 Accbonds to start the break-in this morning. Shot one and clean for 11 shots, and then 3 and clean for 9 more. On the last three batches of three we shot groups. He shot one and I shot two.
Average fps with the factory load was 3008 for 19 rounds fired not counting one that only registered 2485 fps :?: :shock: On the box it lists muzzle velocity of 2960 fps. My chrono never showed an error or anything. I noticed something really odd. Someone mentioned previously there would be three numbers a decimal point or an indication of an error and then another number. There WAS NO decimal point on the chronograph screen before I took the picture. After the photo, there is the point! Really odd. I did that with another recorded fps reading and it did the same thing. How weird is that? So, I believe my chronograph is working fine. The high was 3056 and the low was 2989 excluding the one odd reading. If my chrono was accurately getting a reading, 523 fps lower than the average for the 19 counted is really a huge difference. Maybe on that one reading, it did have an issue. It was shot number 17 which would be in Jeff's 3 shot group which is the third diamond on the right in the picture and it was his last shot of the group.
I shot the left diamond and the second shot is the one I pulled. I knew it when it went off. The center diamond I also had one that was shooter error. It looks like the rifle might have potential though if the shooter does his part! :shock: Now I just have to load some up and go shoot again! I think Jeff really likes his rifle and the scope! It's the first Model 70 in the
Jeff with his new rifle. His form did improve once he realized the rifle was not going to beat him up much. He tucked that left arm under and let her buck.
I shot the left diamond- marked shots. I shot the center diamond. Jeff shot the right diamond. We each pulled one in our groups.
There was no decimal point or error point prior to me taking the photo. As soon as the digital camera shutter goes, the point shows up. :? The chronograph was working fine though.
