Sweet looking bear....sweet looking rifle. Can you share details on rifle and scope?
Rifle is a Seekins precision, havak element. 7mm prc. Topped with a night force nx8 4-32. Rolled this bear at 675 yards. Its been a touchy gun. After 2 shots it doesn't group for crap. 1.5-2" if I wait 10+ minutes between shots and let it completely cool it shoots 1/2 inch. Talked to seekins and now that bear season is over it's going back to get looked at.
Not in that higher end world of "custom" rifles.....but can see why it would be a concern. Accurate enough to deliver a kill at 675 yards but doesn't group well after the first two shots (at a certain range distance). But if the first two shots from a cold barrel are amazingly accurate, and the rifle is intended for hunting, do I need it to be that accurate for a third or more shots, when I'll probably never need a third shot? There was a thread recently that went on for pages over a similar situation. Maybe a conclusion was reached? Good luck in getting it figured out.
