    Got a new rifle!




    Well new to me anyway, found this one on Armslist and picked it up Friday. Came with the case, 148 rounds of ammunition, Nikon P300 scope, rings, bi-pod, Leapers bi-pod adapter, and CMMG SV brake. I'll probably loose the brake soon as I really don't like them, but the rifle was amazingly quiet even with it on. The 220 grain subsonics didn't sound any louder than a high velocity .22 lr does with my hearing protection on.

    I'm not sure I'll keep the P300 scope either. It's not a bad scope other than the reticle, it covers too much of the target for real precise work. However, I had a blast ringing steel after I got the scope dialed in close enough to work. I had fun ringing steel the rest of time I was at the range, never missed a 4X4 plates or the 4X3 diamonds at 100 yards.

    Here is the first group I shot with the rifle, Remington 120 grain OTM ammunition.


    I got cocky and the second wasn't nearly as good.

    Set up a 12X12 plate at 300 today and tried the BDC Reticle out. First group on steel was a little high.



    Adjusted down and held on the 297 yard hash mark acoording to Nikon's ballistic App, a bit happier where the bullets were hitting. I need to shoot the ammo across a chrony to get it dialed in better. The P-300 scope sucks for precision aiming, it covers a lot of target.

    This is a 300BLK?
    The Dunning-Kruger effect is alive and well.

    I really like the BLK,have 3 of them. Would rather shoot that in an AR than the 223/556. Looks like you have a shooter and I agree about the reticle on that scope.
    "An armed society is a polite society"
    "...shall not be infringed" What's the confusion?
