Re: My first long range rig

I was wanting to do something like that but my local gun store talked me in to buying a 5r. I looked at the same rifle a dicks but it was around 550.00. Congrats on the gun and the Fiance, she sounds like a keeper. </div></div>
Shes great, and supports my hobbies for firearms and cars. Couldn't be happier. Yea, I always try and do as much of my own personal research before purchasing anything. Hard to trust the opinion of a financially motivated individual ; ).

Went out today and zero'd her in. Was able to make between a 1/2 and 1/4 group of 5 shots, with the occasional flyer : D. Here's how I made out at the 200 yrd range....
The top right shot was my last round. As you can clearly see ...... I need a lot more trigger time. For some reason i shoot a lot better with much smaller targets? Was shooting 147 gr DAG Surplus FMJ ammo. Perfect weather conditions. Here's a pic my buddy snuck up on me and got.
Hope to return to the range soon and really hone my skills. BTW....whats a really good but affordable bolt handle knob I can get for my Remmy? This one gets uncomfortably close to my scope.
