Re: need input
not really cold out. it was low to mid 70's. don't know what to say about the double ring because this brass has only been shot out of this gun. it's a 03a3 in 30-06. the bullets are nosler 150gr ballistic tip hunting bullets with federal 210 primers and imr 4350
i really need to watch the online training but i haven't had the time yet and i'm trying to get this rifle ready to go hunting next weekend. loaded up 25 rounds of the 58.3 to dial in the scope, see where it shot at 50 and 200 with the 100 yard zero and get a little more practice.
i think my biggest problem is the scope is too far forward and i have to adjust a few times till i get the proper eye relief and the comb is way too low so my head is in a different position every time i pull the trigger. after the holidays i'm going to order a better stock with an adjustable cheek piece, a picanny rail style mount if i can find 1 that will fit on the 03a3, and get a decent scope instead of this 15 year old leupold 3-9. don't get me wrong the leupold is a great scope but the 9 power is very limiting especially with my screwed up eyes. so once i have those issues fixed hopefully i'll get better body/rifle placement.
also hopefully after the holidays i can find some folks to shoot with occasionally who can give me some tips. when i shot archery tournaments if i didn't have a buddy to critique me when i was shooting i'd video myself so i could see what i was doing wrong so i could fix it the next time i practiced.
anyways i know i have alot to learn and alot to fix but i'm doing the best i can on a very limited budget
oh and here's a 4 shot group i did just before i left the range after the 25 rounds i loaded to zero the scope and get some practice. the first 3 shots are the nice tight little group with the flier off on the right a couple inches. don't know how the flier happened because that's the only 1 i tossed in the 16 rounds i shot at this target
the other holes in the lower right and left corners where from sighting in
