.308 bolt gun

The sun was probably just in your eyes

I think if the trigger was adjusted from 4#'s down to 2#'S for range shooting, I'm sure those groups would be even tighter.

And just in case it wasn't completely obvious, that rifle will outshoot all three of us all day long!

Hands down!! I'm sure it would have just been one hole per group if it wasn't me behind the trigger. We will figure out a time and date to go so you can shoot it. That would be fun.

I need to find some 68+ match grain loads to try this 18" 1/7 barrel out.

It will be a great time!

@etrain16 you are welcome to shoot it as well. We just need to set up a time to meet up.

Appreciate that offer. If you plan something, let me know - weekends are hella busy right now, but who knows, maybe it would work.

Some shots of the targets. If this thing gets better as it gets broke in I can't even imagine

Looks like a damn fine find! By the time you can roll some loads and find out what it really likes you will have one hell of a nice rifle going there. Only down side will be when you miss there will be no doubt it was operator error.

Nearly 40 years ago I was using a 308 bolt pistol in 200 yard IHMSA matches.
One surprising group turned in 5 shots into something smaller than my thumbnail using open iron sights. These days I can't see the 200 yard target without glass helping.
Don't recall if the class limits were for 14 or 16" barrel.

Of course I couldn't repeat such these days yet it was gratifying to know the 'smith had earned his fees.

With me its always operator error On the bright side its a reason to go to the range and train so that I can hit a gnat at 400 yds with my eyes closed LOL

We can always blame the guys next to us with the muzzle brakes from hell

While back at the range when I came out the counter guy laughed. Said he had forgotten to ask me what I was shooting and when he saw a long gun got worried at first. I told him just PCC's for me. Said I can't see worth a crap at 100 yards any more so I don't need something that will shoot that far. We both laughed at that. Maybe one of the reasons the PCC's are getting so damn popular all of a sudden. Lot's of us with aging eye's that want to shoot closer up now days.

"next to me was shooting a damn cannon"
One of the worse I've been next to was the IHMSA guy shooting single shot contender with 444 full length barrel.
