XL7L - My New Hunting Rifle

[alleydude]

Finally got to the range today. Wow, what a nice shooting gun. I put two boxes of ammo through the barrel, wish I'd had more.

Here is a picture of the first five shots, at the 50 yard range;

   

And here is the first eight I took at the 100 yard range:

   

I still need more practice. That's it. More practice. Gotta get some more ammo...!

Hey man, that's pretty good for a new to you rifle... When the holes touch each other like that means that it's a right on shootin gun! The spread is just you not being used to the rifle yet or you're distracted some from the cold.
Good shootin man

Was it windy there today?

Not bad, not bad. Got a couple questions. How large in measurement is the bullseye--to get idea how close you really are to center? Are you using gun vise/sand bags or free shoulder to shoot? Otherwise, not bad for a new rifle that's not broke in. You'll get better with more rounds put through it.

PS: like the rifle, but it makes me wonder as to why they checkered the fore-end and hand hold on a laminated stock--distracts from an already nice appearance.

This was done resting on sandbags. As for the size of the target, I believe these are 12" targets. I am planning on going to the range again tomorrow, I expect to do better...

Took my son, my daughter (14-years-old) and her boyfriend to the range today. I spent most of my time helping the kids out, but I managed to take eight shots at 100 yards. Here is the results:

   

Look out deers!

Ya won't have any problems with dropping deer with that grouping. All 7 within the kill zone. Ya musta flinched with the flier I see? Just 6 days away for opening Deer season here in Missouri with rifles. Can't wait.
