I would also tell you that I am not a fan of three shot groups. Five to ten will tell you much more about the consistent (and probable) accuracy.

Thanks TR, TS, Doc, Smokin Joe.

TR, the 3 shots were a quicky group to find out where the initial bore sight was on target on a new gun. I also prefer 5-10 shot groups.

Shot this morning on ground with bipod and the ground seemed to "decouple" the vibration. Cold bore shot produced 1/2" group with bipod, ~3/8" with ruck.

I'll probably stick with the ruck because it settles the rifle lower to the ground. I usually shoot heavy bolt guns and hadn't seen this before.

Also, maybe I was just excited by that new gun smell yesterday.
