The Goblin now has 100 rounds out the barrel. I am not one to blame kit but the Jewel trigger's narrow shoe does not let me get a good feel, I roll my finger and am getting better but wish I would have went with a 700. The safety is still very hard to engage when it does and at times will not engage no matter how much force I apply. It will get it replaced with a tuned 700 as it needs to go back for repair / replacement but they can keep it.
Couple things I noticed, no recoil hop and the Goblin stays on target all the way through follow-through. I credit the A5 as it fits me superb and the FTE muzzle brake.
With the USO mounted so low, I am amazed at how solid of a cheek weld this allows with the A5. I was worried it was too low but now I have a fat old chipmunk roll and is rock solid.
I do not know if I am getting better or just concentrating more but I am able to call my shots with regularity.
I do not know what to expect for accuracy yet but I posted a picture from yesterday.
Sequence is top left going right, then bottom row, right to left. I tried something different. I did not clean the Goblin and performed three dry fires before shooting. At the end of my last range day, I went one click right just because. My first two shots hit right, I then went back one left and fired three. What I got was, my first shot of the day was on target, a little right but not way off and then back on zero. My first group was on my zero. Was it a fouled bore or the dry fires, not sure?
Next group started high off the dot, Jewel trigger but I know I pulled my cheek weld to early, went good for three then last shot went high again. The next four groups all stayed high, not sure why but maybe the barrel warmed up.
Far right top group is with GMM168 and is my tightest group yet; .575" edge to edge for five shots.
Bottom far right is three rounds of GMM175 at .495 edge to edge.
The middle bottom was my last group and I worked on trigger feel. Maybe I am putting to much into the trigger shoe thing but I really hate the narrow shoe.
I know is does not count but I went to 300, back to 100 and then out to 300 and got a .955 three shot, sorry no picture this was just a play thing to see how the 1/10, Gap ret and me work.
The Goblin resting.
