I had the day off and with a break in the weather was able to shoot my new Ruger. I topped it off with an older Redfield 2x7x33. I had also purchased some 140 gr. Core-lokts and Federal Premium Partitions.

Put a target at 25 yards and fired a couple of shots to get her close. Trigger is pretty bad. Moved out to 100 yards and fired a 5 shot group. 1.38 inches. Let the barrel cool and fired a second 5 shot group. First three shots were touching with the remaining 2 expanding the group to 1.2 inches. Last 5 shot group had 4 shots nearly touching and one flier (I pulled that one). Never even touched the box of Partitions.

Needless to say I'm extremely pleased.
