600 yard group - Y85 - 05-26-2014 Now, it is well known that I am no marksman. Actually, my friends know this and do not mention it, out of kindness I suppose. I assume those who are not my friends know it as well but, since I am no marksman, they have nothing to fear, and so do not belabor the point. Occasionally, however, even the porcine myope stumbles into the trough. Attached are pics of a 3 shot group at 600 yds from yesterday. factory Hornady 123g SST, Vortex 4-16x50 scope (MOA reticle), Larue SPR-S mount. Seated with bipod. Rifle is AA upper (18" fluted bbl) with MK10 free float handguard, BWA X-comp, and AA bolt. JPE lower with JP trigger (3 lbs), Magpul STR stock, JP SCS-15 spring. I posted a picture of this gun last fall after a successful deer hunt. http://www.65grendel.com/forum/showthread.php?7449-First-deer-with-Grendel-in-MO Note the three gray splats in the center of the second picture (widest dimension about 2.75”. [ATTACH=CONFIG]5258[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]5259[/ATTACH] I thought it was worth sharing – not because my enemies must now fear my marksmanship but rather, because I am sure it will never happen again. My father used to say that the poor workman blamed his tools. Well, experience will attest that this group was the tool, not the workman. (sorry -- I don't know how to make the pics bigger) 600 yard group - bwaites - 05-26-2014 Well done! 600 yard group - Joseph5 - 05-27-2014 That is some good shooting and something I hope to be able to match when I get my Grendel assembled and loads worked up. 600 yard group - usmc1371 - 05-28-2014 Wow,nice shooting. 600 yard group - NugginFutz - 05-28-2014 You are entirely too modest, y85. That is well under 1/2 MOA and quite respectable. Nice job and keep sharing. 600 yard group - Butterbean - 05-28-2014 I'd take that ANY day Well done.
