11 shots for 1.2 MOA at 600 yards with my M14

I was testing a load in my vintage sniper M14 last week and managed to score a 100-6X at 600 yards for 1.2 MOA. If I included the sighter, it would be 110-7X. I scored 6 X's in a row until the wind blew me out of the X-ring. I fought to bring it back in and managed to finish with an X.

Moved to the 300 yard line to get some scope data and I pulled a shot and scored a 99-4X

Also took my scout rifle along and shot it at 200 yards. Scored a 100-5X

Both rifles aren't shooting too bad. I'm happy with them.

Great shooting! What're the specs on the first M14 in your post (vintage sniper)?

Rifle built and bedded by me.

The M25 Scout is nearly identical. The only difference is the barrel, scope, scope mounting and the trigger. It's a Kreiger 18.5" sporter barrel. The scope is a Vortex Razor HD Gen II E 1-6x scope. The M25 receiver has the scope rail made into the receiver, so there's no external scope mount. The trigger is an unmodified GI trigger. I'll eventually install a SS adjustable match trigger though.
