Thread: New Tikka .308 zeroing issues

out casting bullets and a few thoughts occured to me . . 1st i better come inside and have a coffee and a biscuit.

2nd does the POI change @Trout from your range sessions style with no forend pressure to a hunting in the field practice ?

3rd do you practice to simulate field shooting ?

4th this is the way i see it, others will have different ideas
i have a bunch of rifles i all shoot differently.
Varmint rifles . . all but one is off the bipod, with the No.1 Ruger i only shoot off my pack.
all other rifles i fire leaning over sandbags . . thats for everything, working up a load, zeroing, varifying.
its as close to how i might get to shoot at animals accurately if am lucky . . if am not so lucky i am leaning over a bush shooting over my pack or other strange positions.
my point being i look at range time as preparing for the field . . small groups shot off the bench that i cant duplicate in the field are of little value, using a techneque i won't use in the field is of no value to me, in fact it might give me a false idea of my skills.

which has nothing to do with the young mans problem in this thread . . forget i mentioned it, its probably the fumes coming off the casting pot
