5 shots
120gr @2900fps
Tikka 6.5 x55
Vx 3 3.5-10

The point I'd like to make is that most shooters have a good idea of their rifles precision from repeated 3 or 5 shot zero checks over a period of time. My wooden stock rifle will wander on zero a bit over time. Because I think I have a good idea about its precision, I'm happy to adjust the scope after 2 shots to suit.
