So, as many of you probably recall, I received a Remington 700 5R Milspec from my wife a while back. I've had the gun out a grand total of twice. First was a trip to my buddy's range where I roughly sighted it on some Hornady steel match and then put a few rounds down range with it with reasonable accuracy. Spent the rest of the time nailing a 4x4" piece of steel at 300 yard with ridiculous ease with my .338LM.
Went out yesterday to shoot the .308 with my staple 150gr Federal Blue box and she was hitting hard to the left, so had to re-zero it. Rifle is topped with a Leupold VX3i LRP FFP scope. I had it in a sled for this exercise. There was some pretty good wind, probably 20Km/h that was gusting (hence the few fliers).
This is the same range I zeroed my previous .308, .223 and the .338LM at. It's 100 yards, in a field in the boons.
The groups are numbered. #1 is where it was shooting out of the bag. #2 is my first set of adjustments, #3 the next and #4 where it ended up. Reasonably happy with the results. It isn't quite the tack-driver my previous .308 was but it seems to be getting better as it breaks-in.
