Targets As promised

Went out today and got a quick chance to shoot a few. Only about 15 rounds total to sight in at 100 yards and move out to 200 to see if I could squeeze 200 out of that range, I had to "move" a tree or two but I made it fit..image.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpg
The first group at the top is my first group on paper 1/4" at 100 yards. Second group is after making my adjustments to the scope. Slightly larger but still can be covered with a dime. Then I moved out to 200 and got the third group I was actually aiming for a 1"dot pasty that I thought should be my POA turned out to be right. Never used a tactical scope before, they make this too easy.
Needless to say. I am very happy. A big thank you to all who offered advise and also to Mr Lilja for building such a nice barrel. The extra work I put into it from the advice on this site was well worth it.
