Default Took the new 260 to the range

After getting the triger job done I took the Ruger all weather 260 to the range. I mounted my M8 4X33 Luepold scope on it and bore sighted here at home. It only took a couple shots to bring it to Zero one inch high at 100 yards. I had a box of Remington 120 grain Accu-tips. It shot a couple three shot groups of 0ne inch or a hair over. Pretty good for being short at least one sand bag. Wind was calm and it got to 70 here in ND. Thats unbielievable up here. I am happy with this gun and I will load 120 Nosler Ballistic tips to try first. Its good to have spring about here. I also shot my new Handi rifle in 47-70. It printed One big hole for three shots at 50 yards. I just fired one round at 100 but it was dead center and two inches low. It was two inches high at 50 yards. These were factory Federal 300 gr Speer hot core HP. This is a pretty hot load compared to the factory 300 WW HP that I shot the other day. Anyway a good day to be out there and everything went well.
