Well I broke out the 300 WM and The 7 mm Mag again today . We had perfect shooting conditions 180 degrees wind at 5 mph. First up the 300. Again shooting with a bipod a 615 yards. All three shots felt good. Upon arriving at the target I found that my group was about 4 inches low and 6 to the right, two shots fit under a dime and the third was out to 11 o'clock. Overall group size was 3.809. I did not fare so well with the 7 mm, two groups at 6 inches, after the second group no more adjustments are needed. The 7 will shoot smaller groups with other bullets, but the AB will get the job done in the woods. Both theses rifles are nothing special, the 300 is a 1966 push feed with a composite stock and Zeiss 4.5. X 14 scope. The 7 is a little older, with a factory stainless barrel, composite stock, and an identical scope. Happy guy today everything came together.

Nothing better than positive accuracy confirmation, love it. Seems to me out to 615 a notched tag should attach easily.

The rifleman makes the difference, Bill. Comforting to know that all will work when the opportunity presents itself.

Good shooting Bill! Now you won't be able to blame the rifle!
