Succesful Weekend

Did everyone get out for a shot this weekend?

I headed off to the range to zero my .308 cos I just had a bedding job done on it. Despite the weather's best efforts to drown me it actually turned into a pretty successful trip :lol:

On the left is two shots at the top and then a three shot group after I adjusted the scope and on the right is a four shot group after I'd lightened the trigger pull :D
