St Mary's again, 5 shot 50 meters, the rifle is very accurate, the only thing is how good you are, unlike my other rifles such as Anschutz 1710, Lithgow 101, SAKO A7 308 or Sauer 202 Avalanche 223, which will hide a little shooter's mistake still let you shoot 5 round in one hole, FVSR enlarges your imperfection, in other word it is very sensitive

That looks like a pretty serious looking scope you've got on there mate, the rounds don't go that far without serious compensation for bullet drop!
It'll shoot the fleas off a dog's back at five hundred yards, Tannen, and it's pointed straight at your head!

Holy C**p that thing's accurate :o :mrgreen: :shock:
And it even has some vertical in it too. Any chance you could tweak the bedding? Wouldn't blame you if you rested on your laurels :)

That "blue star" group had much better elevation, leading me to believe that your rifle is good. I am no great shakes as a bench shooter so I won't offer any advice and I don't know what you changed to halve the elevation but it's a big step forward :thumbsup: Come to think of it, you need to tell us (me ;) ) how you did it :)

totally no idea :roll: I think the big elevation is caused by pulling the trigger in a wrong way or not hold the gun sturdy for a while after fire, will try and see what will happen next time

it's not stable on the bench rest, maybe due to the size and weight, also the shape of the stock, can not sitting on the rest very stable...anyway it's not a target rifle but a very good training rifle to hone the skill

SHV,
I'm an old "belly shooter". Shot fullbore with the NRAA for 50 years. Members were always willing to offer advice. Know nothing about benchresters. Wonder if you could get some coaching :unknown: somehow, somewhere?

"not stable on the benchrest" You are doing exceedingly well, in that case. I wish someone could help you sort things out.

that will be great :friends: but I am afraid can not understand how to use the advanced shooting techniques for now, I get into shooting not long ago, still trying different ways to shoot better and stable in some basic things such as where to put my left hand :oops:

before I get the FVSR, I use left hand to hold (squeeze) the rear bag to adjust height, using Anschutz, Lithgow .22 and SAKO A7 308W, Sauer 101 XT avalanche 223, 5 shot 50 meter's same (big) hole sometimes, quite happy but after have the FVSR, found out that will introduce unstable movements and cause ugly flies (usually vertical below the bull's eye), so I changed the way, left hand hold right arm, maybe left arm touch the rear bag a little, then I felt a little better, see above photos, some right on the bull's eye, still some fly but not far away like before, will try more to find out :lol:

did you change the scope to try and get it on bull? i only ask as the top 5 shot pic is pretty much on the money but the 10 shot pic is shooting low and to the right? or was the 5 shot the one after changing?, pretty good shooting,the bunny's wont know what hit them :thumbsup:

10 shot is the last one, after run-in two center fire rifles and zero the scopes, and kicked badly by light weight 308 and 3006 rifles, maybe the aiming position changed a little, the 4X scope is fixed parallax at 75 meters or 90 meters, so the POI changed a little, will try later to find out

this target half done by me half done by my friend, he said no confident because can not see it clearly and can not see the holes during shooting unlike other high power scopes, I got a little bite more confident than him so the resorts are little better :lol:
