The Accuracy Thread

Cool that works. What did it shorten your pull length to? I like the wood idea being 6'2" with long arms usually means most rifles are to short for me.

I beleive it shortened the pull about 3/4". It was just enough to make it comfortable for shooting prone.

I can get under a half inch at 100 yds and 1" at 200 yds with 55gr Nosler ballistic tip bullets over 25 grains of H335. I used a redfield 3-9X40 and just put on a redfield 4-12X40 since shooting long range is definitely a possibility. With Sierra 55gr GameKings I can get just under an inch at 100 and about 1.5 inches at 200 with 25 grains of H335.


I have a scope question... I am also going with a Redfield I just dont know what scope to get..4-12 or 3-9. I will be varmint hunting from 50 to 200 yards, my rifle is in 223. thank you.

That's really personal preference. Some people shoot impressive groups with open sights at 200 yds. I personally like to zoom in, and the 3-9 wasn't quite enough for me at 200yds. For me, 100yds and under I stick with a 3-9, over 150yds, I go with a 4-12.

I took a bore sited, new .243 Axis out for its first shots. It took the first six shots to adjust scope at 100 yards. Shots seven, eight and nine all touched at 100 yards. Now that is out of the box accuracy with 100g Remington core-lokts.

I lowered the trigger pull from eight pounds to four and one-half. That should put three shots in a dime.

I placed a laser on the scope to kill hogs at night, so it better be accurate.
