    Just need to call this. Two shots is not a group.

    They are both nice and close to the aim point - its more of a really good cold bore shot (x2).

    Kimber, are you shooting a kimber 7mm08 ? Ive fired my mates one and its a kick-deamon. Not super accurate either, although good enough for deer. It may not be all you.

    As far as zero goes, try it and find out if your own zero is the same with unsupported prone, bipod or over a tree trunk using correct hand technique. My 7mm08 does it. Has a standard weight non pencil barrel. Groups are bigger with other methods and smallest with a caldwell junior front rest and protector bunny ear rear sandbag. Groups are so much larger with hunting shooting gear/methods i couldnt really say the zero is different. I cant say i know about putting velcro over the barrel ... nathan foster recommends trying shooting with your hand on top of the scope to hold it down.

    Oh and do use 5 shot groups and a few of them if you want to know the truth.
