i was finally allowed to pick up my savage scout rifle yesterday and got it to the range today.
After getting the sight sort of dialed in at 50 yards (a somewhat aggravating task) I moved the target to 100. That’s when everything fell apart as the attached photo indicates.
Granted, I’m very out of practice and there were a couple of other factors beyond my control working against me, but that’s 12” diameter target we’re looking at.
I’m thinking about loading up some reduced recoil loads and then concentrating on proficiency at 50 yards before moving out further. Granted, a standard .308 load isn’t exactly brutal recoil wise, but after 50 or 60 rounds fatigue did start to set in.
