    All started when I took the .222 out to have a look at some new reloads and see how they grouped. I set up on our shooting bench with the bipod on the front and the trusty daypack under the stock....

    My smallbore setup. Have swapped scope from Vortex Golden Eagle to March, and rest from Caldwell to Seb Mini. But it gives the idea of the setup. Table folds up to the range wall when not in...

    Hard to be definitive about accuracy cause it'll shoot pretty consistently in the 0.3s at 50 with the "right" ammo in both stocks but it's definitely a bit more repeatable in terms of things like...
