Loaded everything up and headed to the farm for the first shots fired from this gun. Hunter had moved his pickup out of the shed so I was able to set up in the front and get sheltered from the wind a bit, the target 'not so much'...

I ended up shooting several shots today but the first three were the most important to me. After those 3 - I believe I might have a shooter.

Remember I had bore sighted a few weeks ago at the house so I set the target out at 50 yards.



As you can see this gun is set up different than a normal Mountaineer - I am not fond of wood stocks in this country and my style of hunting so I requested the composite stock. I was a bit surprised that I was able to swap stocks, but Knight told me that in 2012 the composite stock would be an option for the new Mountaineer. Also Knight has a deal with Leupold to place scopes on new rifles so the U-slam was installed.
So for my first brief outing with this new gun... It worked - further testing will occur....
