[QUOTE="DaveB, post: 5362881, member: 5958"] Son and I went to MSSA for some accuracy checking. Took the 6.8 SPC II and bunch of bolt guns. Our calculations were correct, not many go to the range when there is rain. Bottom target. The 6.5 shooting 130's (Sierra TMK and Nosler RDF) on top of 39 grains of RL15. Walked in the scope from wayyyy right. Got some cloverleafs. To illustrate what I see with my right eye versus my Son's vision the bottom target with the 9 shot is his. Mine are the two bottom right same hole. So I am seeing and shooting the same wrong sight picture. Consistent but wrong. Son shot the 3 Nosler rounds[ATTACH type="full"]138637[/ATTACH] Next up was the Axis 223 shooting the 70 Accubonds. This rifle was cloverleafing 60 gr partitions at 100 yards but I had some trouble getting the 70's to group. The very tight chamber allowed near-zero lengths over SAAMI specs. Not showing the targets where the 3-inch groups were the best we could do.......more than a few....and then we found a recipe. [ATTACH type="full"]138638[/ATTACH] The 25 gr load of varget is 5 rounds.....We fairly happy. This rifle is slated for trigger spring surgery (the second). Anyone have an aftermarket trigger they can recommend? [/QUOTE]
