Well, first day at the range today with my 700. And a nice day it was!
The gun functioned flawlessly. learned a few things, however
- the stock is perhaps an inch to short for me. Had to put my mittens between shoulder and stock to avoid a black eye
- the trigger is too heavy. I sort of knew that, but... have to fix it.
- Seems to shoot 5shots around 1MOA with jax.
I think, with the proper adjustments (so the gun fits better to me), this wil be a really accurate gun. Below is a target with non- artful bullets (Nosler CC 168grs). 100m, prone position, support on bag, target increments 30mm/1 MOA. No load development whatsoever. Now, I know that the accuracy potential is there; from now on, cast bullets for this one.
