    "Terrible" Cold Bore Shot by me, from old Savage 10 w/ a 9x scope. The rifle has been sitting in Talon's safe for a month so it's not zeroed anymore.
    However the pattern matches what people discussed earlier.

    I carefully fired the 1st shot, it's the hole on the left.
    After about 1-2 minutes I fired 2nd shot, it's the hole in the middle, which is somewhat 1 or 2 O'clock to the right.
    Then another 1-2 minutes wait, the 3rd shot broke. It drifted to the right at 3 O'clock.

    Center -> 2 o'clock -> 3 o'clock, interesting.


    After zeroed in the rifle started to behave. I want to reiterate that the "Gorilla Ammunition" is damn accurate. They should put "Match Grade" on their boxes because they really are IMO.


    Here's a 12-shot group. Consider the rifle is old and dirty (I never cleaned it) and I am not a good shooter...the "Gorilla" is pretty decent 175gr 308 Win shit.

    David, that rifle has less than a hundred rounds through it since it was new. Quite possibly, less than 50.


    . . not counting what you have put it through. . . . I mean "what you have put through it".
    I'd rather be lucky than good, but I'd rather KNOW I'm good than HOPE to get lucky.

    can't remember but I think, a lot! I don't shoot like Dave W who comes to fire 3 shots and call it a day.

    Three shots is a lot! Especially if you can catch all the bad guys standing single file in a line.

    I dunno. The rifle I sold him is every bit as accurate at my Remmy 700P - it is a tack driving SOB.
