    Quick pre roar trip check shot around 2 weeks ago tomorrow I always like to check before a trip but I also dropped the rifle directly on its head trying to weigh it with luggage scales I think it bounced from can to scope so would have some what broke the fall also wanted to double down on the velocity as iv now fitted a cds accuracy is more than good enough for my intended use and it had an sd of 14.5 across the 10 shots which is also good enough for my max range of 400 yards . Note the only shot I’m certain of is #3 I know #1 and 2# were far right and together the rest is just marking impacts in no confirmed order for the purpose of marking the shots I also see now iv finished mucking with the app one shot is out of place as theirs a hole just behind the aim point

    Nice. Looks like you're zeroed about 2 clicks high & 1 click right -did you adjust to centre? Interested to see how it holds that zero. Thanks for contributing.

    I did adjust left to right but not height only because it’s 16” and going slow with the most common intentional range being sub 100 I figure dead deer, when I got this rifle going the eldx never grouped particularly well when say looking at my saum but I thought hey what’s your max range here 300-400 yards absolute can that load hit the plate 150mmx150mm at max range and I couldn’t miss so I left it alone hoping it holds a zero all my bartliens have being very stable barrels other components could be the Achilles heal we will see ��
