so, just got back from my first real serious range visit with my new gun im building up.
Gun Specs:
Remington 700 sendero II 300 WM.
Vortex viper pst 6-24x
APA fat bastard
otherwise stock
Shooting reloads. 208 amax's with 75.0 gr H1000 and CCI magnum primers.
shooting off of bench with bipod and rear bag.
I bore-sighted at 50 yards since the scope is new. then took target to 100. best i could manage was about 1.5 inch groups. most fliers would be low left if i had one.
Im fairly new to this type of shooting and more than likely it is my technique that is failing.
im not worried about a flinch, with the apa brake, i can shoot all day and not feel the gun, the thing is amazing. is it the trigger? maybe need to work on the action/bedding? i know there is a ton of things I can do to the rifle to make it shoot better but want to be sure I can shoot it properly first. I suppose a good place to start is to review the basics and fundamentals. wheres a good place to learn these or review them online?
thanks for the help.
