I saw the other thread was bumped, so here is a recent day out for me with the weather so mild. I did it for the CGN one, but have moved it here as well so maybe a few other members will try with the warmer weather as of late. This is far from easy to do with a factory rifle.

Range Day Jan 11/19. -8°c. The rifle is a Tikka T3 lite lefty in 22-250. All factory other than I sanded the pressure points out of the stock to float the barrel. Hand loaded with 50gr. Ballistic Tips, and Reloader powder, it has always shot well.
First picture is my range and distance is 100 Yards.

Next up is the rifle and rest.... Please be kind to my crappy one piece plastic rest. Yes, probably should buy something better, but it works. I have shirts over the rubber ends so the rifle can recoil a bit more natural, and I have found that the rubber will grip the rifle just enough to affect groups.


The groups pinned on the backstop. I found the last group harder to shot, my nerves were getting to me.

Paper target inside for a good picture.

Measurement of worst group.... last group

Best group

The numbers for the groups are as follows:
1) .705 - .224 = .481
2) .485 - .224 = .261
3) .658 - .224 = .434
4) .512 - .224 = .288
5) .810 - .224 = .586
Average group size is .410
