New to bolt action :)

Just got my first rifle, Remington 700 5R .308 and a Viper PST 6-24x50 FFP and couldn't be happier. I shot it for the first time on saturday, and while shooting a 5 shot group to zero in the scope @ 100 yards:
The first shot went an inch low
Three of the 5 rounds made a single hole.
The 5th shot went just left of the large single hole.

These were the first 5 shots out of my brand new rifle, the first 5 shots I have ever taken out of a bolt action rifle or any gun with a scope, and first 5 of the day. I was pretty proud

Just thought I would share since I was pretty excited

I've only shot about 18 rounds through it lol. I haven't cleaned it yet, gonna order some stuff for that soon. I really like everything about the rifle though. Not as much kick as I expected at all, super accurate, and good looking. Once I clean it I can let you know how the stainless did.
