Really happy w/ the turn out. I wish I had a better rest for it, but I was working with what they had at elm fork. I don't have any calipers, but it's sub-MOA!!

Great group. I think i would adjust it a half inch left and you should be good.

Sorry I thought that's what Factory was. I bought it from bass pro. It was Federal Match HPBT

Just joking, it's factory ammo. With cheap factory ammo you will see a little more spread than match ammo. Even if that was handloaded ammo it would be excellent shooting. Have to say I like Federal, my gun likes their Walmart $15.99 per box ammo very much. You've shot it so you know.

What are their rates again for the rifle range? Been a long time since I have used them, gotta confirm zero here soon.

looks very close to .5"

I've had good groups with 175 grain Remington factory ammo with Sierra Match Kings.

Went back today and shot a 5 shot group. I had sighted in before w/ handloads, this was shot w/ 168G match SMKs I noticed it was around 1.5MOA left so I adjusted, then shot w/ some handloads and noticed it was 1.5 MOA right. So nothing had moved on the scope at least.

Then I got squared up and shot this 5 shot group. Most of the time I shoot 3, but I wanted to see how it fared w/ 5 shots. It's just tad under .75 MOA, but I'll call it at .75

This is w/ the new stock that's posted below in my sig.
