Thought the other thread was getting too strung out and picture heavy.

Took my new 5r .308 to a buddies house to get it sighted in and was pretty happy with the initial performance.

Shot one round of the Dot Drill for fun before time ran out.

Re: First time with new 5r.

Looks like a winner mine was great and the only reason I sold it is because I wanted to change a few things to make it more ergonomic, so I decided to just go custom. Accuracy was not the reason I let it go though as it was not lacking in that regard at all. Try some 175gr Federal though as I got slightly better accuracy then the 168's and they buck the wind a little better.

I never got a chance to reload for it but I'm sure that would make it even better.
