Re: XLR FN PBR Range results

I agree with you sir- PRACTICE-PRACTICE. The groups will come. You made a good choice with the FN. I got mine about 6 months ago. I have the SPR A1. I have now gotten to less then .5 MOA on a few range sessions. As you get more range time you may want to try a different ammo. I had to go thru 4 different kinds to find the one my FN liked to eat and give best results. I started with Federal gold MM 168 175, then Black hills 168, and now staying with some Hornady. Good luck!

Re: XLR FN PBR Range results

I, like Mahi, have had a Fn for about 6months. Had a bushnell 4-16 scope on it, ended up with groups about like yours. When I got the NF 3.5-15 it was like I had been shooting for a long time. My best group ever was the 1st group after zeroing in @ 100yds. I'm quite new to this too, but you might try a better optic when time/money allows. + practice, practice, practice!

I am currently running a super sniper 10x on it for now . i have a hard time seeing the holes at 100 and i have 20/20 vision in both eyes .
 
Re: XLR FN PBR Range results

Wow, good choice on the rifle, now get out and practice.
Hang around here and learn all you can.
Things I would suggest you look at:
Front rest
Rear rest
Follow through
Proper parallax
Breathing cycle
When I see shots all over the place that tells me that there are some real issues to look at.

SScott </div></div>Frt rest harris bipod,rear rest accushot monopod . Folow thru is questionable as is my breathing parallax could be questionable as well still learning precision shooting . Also this was from a seated bench position where i was crouded into the divider fence to get the entire rifle to sit on the bench so i wasnt entirely comfortable with my shooting position . Thanks
