We shot the rifle before skeet yesterday, and groups with two different factory loads were in the 1-1/2" range, so much better, especially with the brutal trigger, that felt to be at least 5-6lbs. However, we discovered another issue , that being the Vortex Diamondback scope, which was totally unpredictable. The crosshairs wouldn't move at all for several clicks, then it would jump 2" when moved another click. My bore sight had it within 1" at 100m, but trying to fine tune the poi was frustrating. The scope will be going in for warranty after the season, and hopefully the poi will remain constant until then. The young man plans on purchasing a new rifle/scope for next year, something with a much better trigger, and hopefully a more reliable scope.
There were a few other people sighting in rifles yesterday, and most seemed to be having issues , one in particular used at least a full box, firing one shot, then adjusting the scope, chasing the poi around the target, until he ran out of ammunition, and then declaring it "good enough".
