Got the beauty zeroed in and I have no bipod or range finder so it was just awesome shooting.

First target on the hill

Just guessing 100 metres then fired two more rounds just resting on the quad seat with the rifle.

Pretty happy with that group.So I tryed a longer distance.

Possum trapper joined me at plate shoot. Neckshot cheers for the hunk of steel.

This was my shooting position the plate is on the second hill follow the tyre tracks and you can see it,bit of greyish metal below the hill.

Two shots away and ping ping followed the boom boom and could clearly see the plate move and here the ping with the pelter grade 5 muffs on.

You members are probably thinking what the fark, that plate,its got holes in it. Yes its not as savvy as your hard barstard gong plates but Neckshot figured if i can't hear the ping on the steel it went right through the holes...now thats accurracy right there cheers again Neckshot

Very happy with this rifle got a little video footage might get added one day. Possum trapper pinged the plate also and got a little bit of scope eye but the ping at that distance was a buzz for us anyway.


Got it sorted a hunting we will go.

You sir have a remington 700with synthetic stock and how do i know that, well snap! Good idea to check the barrel is free floating otherwise tends to throw some shots off.
