Am guessing to see how well the quick detach system holds zero?  :dunno:

To see the return to zero was part of it. Also it made it easier to clean the rifle.

That first group was 50meters. The 100 meter groups, when done right were able to get down to 1/3 - 1/2 moa.  Worst not including flyers was about an inch.

I'm hoping for a 9.3x62 barrel next but i'd be up for most anything a little heavier or lighter..... like an 8.5 REB or a 375HH or a 22mag or a 22-250.  I guess i'm not picky but those are on top of the hopeful list.

Took a walk through the woods today. Heard the pointer jump a pig but it never came into the open. I'll get one with the blaser soon enough.
