I was not shooting three shot groups checking load development. I am aware of what the rifle is capable of. I said I was checking zero. You do not need 9 shots to check zero, in my opinion. The point of impact shift was actually three quarters. This is a factory rifle made in 1974. all I did...

That was my question. I would assume the first group I was directly behind the rifle. Firing the second group I did not shift my body to the right just the bag. So I was not behind the rifle as well. Would a foot at 100 yards cause the group to print left because I did not shift my hips to the...

I just checked my zero after free floating the barrel on my old 788 .308. I'd say floating the barrel was a success. At the risk of bragging up my rifle the first three shot group out of her measured .319. Windage was dead center but one inch high. My question is when I fired my second group...

I do appreciate the tips.

I have a 9-13 Harris notched leg swivel bipod, a Triad tactical stock pack with all of the velcro in it. My scope height is 2.1. The stock is factory Remington 788. My rear bag is home made, old wool long johns with airsoft pellets for filler. The bag is six inches long. The tutorial that lash...

Thank you I found it. Look's like I have some experimenting to do.

lash I would like to see that. How do I navigate my way to that tutorial?

I am shooting a .308 with 168 gr. Hornady A-max. Hornady's calculator for that load at 2600fps say's I can get out to 1300 with 18.9 mils. I am just wondering if a quarter inch would make a difference to my aching neck?

I do have a 20 moa base on the rifle. I am just curious if I would gain adjustment by going to low rings. All that was available locally was Burris XTR 30 mm medium at the time I was putting things together. I do not want to lose up adjustment. right now I have 19.8 mils of up.

You more experienced guy's may be able to answer this off the top of your head. Just curious, How many mils of up adjustment would you gain by going from med. to low rings (which in my case is 1/4 inch difference) on a rifle zeroed at 100 yards?

Ordered a set on Monday received today. Installed perfectly on a 10x42 Milquad. Stops right at my 100 yard zero. Thank you , Tim.
