One reason I like precision rifle shooting

[phylodog]

Of the different types of shooting that I do my handgun skills seem to be the most perishable. If I don't practice pretty regularly my abilities will suffer noticeably after a week or two. It doesn't seem to be nearly as true with my bolt gun.

I broke out my .308 yesterday for the first time in 6 months. I had loaned it to a friend to take through a school and had changed the cheek rest position, removed the suppressor and rezeroed it for him. Yesterday I got around to putting it back the way I need it. It took 7 rounds to get my 100 yard zero back where I wanted it to be so I fired the last 3 rounds of the mag to confirm everything was good.

Wish I could maintain my skill levels with a handgun like that.

Excellent grouping. Ive had a few like that with my bolt gun.

How much did the suppressor change the zeroing? A lot or a little.

That's excellent shooting, no better yet, it's awesome shooting

Are you sure you didn't just grab a white box and use a black sharpie to draw those on there?

Great shooting sir. I hope to reach this level myself one day!

My suppressor drops my POI 4 minutes straight down when I install it.

Very nice phylodog! Thats my kind of group therapy!

Lousy shooting, you missed the dime every time.

Nice group, good shooting.

Now if you want a real challenge, shoot for score, one shot in each bull, with the X ring being nothing more than a dot, and the 10 ring being 1/2 OD, and a bullet hole must be over 1/2 inside the ring to count for 10.

good to know. I've been kicking the idea around about going surpressed. I have always heard there is change in zeroing. Thanks for the post.
