Since we been having pretty crummy weather here for the last month I was thrilled to get out to the range and get some shooting in.
I had just pillared and bedded my 455 TH Varmint last week and have the trigger spring changed out for 30 oz. break...nice and crisp. I got some better ammo than the bulk crap I had been plinking with for the last several weeks. Federal Gold Medal Ammo was sorted the night before in several goups by weight and rim thickness. There was no wind at all except for a very occaisional 1-2 mph wind coming from behind every now and then. The 3 shot groups were shot by myself and another shooter taking turns. We were taking our time and in all honesty, the better groups were his, and the worse ones were mine. Two very tight groups could be flukes and we were discussing whether the best group (2nd from the top left) was possibly missing the third shot as it only appeared like two holes in the paper. Either way, I am totally blown away by the accuracy of this rifle. The Bushnell legend scope (5X15) is pretty good for the $200 I paid for it but on the highest setting it was a bit straining to get, and keep the proper eye relief. All shooting was done at 50 yards, 60 deg F, low to no wind, off 2 bags. We did some adjusting on the scope for the bottom 2 rows and that is why there is a poi shift change from center. On Target Caculator used for measurement with outer ring measuring 1".
