    I had cloud cover so I figured today would be a good day on my 300 yard west facing range.

    I painted Mr Steel....

    Lower cross was to check cold bore/zero.

    An M40A1 is a "Sniper" rifle. Therefore I made the head cross because God damn it i was going to be "Snipery".

    I had a good string going. Cold bore was a little low. I added .5 MOA on the fine tune (3/.5). Next shot was a hit than i started missing high. The "noise" of prior impacts eroded my aim point but I think the sun changed my target perception.

    Data...
