I coudn't belive it, 5 shots!! But is that good or is it bad? Cuz to me thats Very good!!!

That is some decent shooting. Were you shooting off a bench with sandbags, or some other way?

With time and practice, your shooting will improve. Just make sure that you give that rifle enough time to cool after shooting 5 rounds.

Not bad shooting. Off a proper rest and with a good load you could see 1.5" 100 yd groups. Kepp at it and you should be alright!

Well since this was my first time shooting the rifle i was all over the boardwith the first 15 or so shots, To be honest i was a lil nerve racked with the recoil but then the recoil was that bad after a while no sore shoulder tho i jsut didn't want the recoilto get me off guard!!! SO i put that away n put those 5 where they needed to be. I'm hapy with my prgress since its my first time shooting it.. I do plan on getting back to the range more so i can tighten those 5 shots up more.... N i was usinsh a shooting stand that i bought with my own money i did have a chance to use the sand bag which now i should of tried both so i could see wat was a "better" option....... N i was seated to... On the bench...

You might want to try a recoil pad. They really make a huge difference! I like the Hi-Viz, have it on my 7 mag and the thing kicks less (considerably less) then my .308 without one!
