Checking Zero on my M40/A1/A3/A5ish

[pmclaine]

Taking a two day class this week at Sig Academy. I cleaned the M40/A1/A3/A5ish and haven't shot it for a few weeks. I plan on using factory FGMM 175 so I wanted to confirm zero.

I had a flyer or perhaps it settled in. Mark at Raven Rifles builds nice stuff.

Raven Rifles did a build for me also, it shoots just as good
Nice shòoting by the way!

Your handle looks familiar. Do I know you?

Edit/Add - The above was just a joke comment I know Delta well from a shared M40 affliction and he is a standup guy.

Terrible shooting! Might want to get rid of that rifle!!

Supposed to be high 50's Thursday and Friday in Southern NH. I havent shot this gun off my belly. I can usually do a hair better when prone. Looking forward to some good training.

Id be curious for a report on the quality of training from the Academy. I can't say that I have met anyone that has had the opportunity to take one of their classes. I shoot better prone than off a bench as well.

Ive taken two classes there.

One was introductory level and it was helpful in the information provided. The range time was good and the instructor was willing to provide attention when he recognized it was needed or if you asked for it.

The second class I took there was a one day reach for 1000 course and its designed to familiarize with shooting at that distance as well to get some dope for your gun as not many places in the NE offer that kind of distance. The day I went it was a cold April swamp rain...

Still better than working. This is what the place looks like with sun from the 300 yard line...

I think they have been improving their ranges. Im hoping that things are better this time, though there is not much I had to complain about last time I was there.
