Went to the range

Met up with Mike243 this morning and took my new toy to the range. All I got to say is the rifle does a whole lot better than the operator. I let Mike have the honor of the first shot. Bulls eye. My first shot 4 inches low. My second shot bulls eye. This was at 50 yards. Moved on out to 100 yards. My first few shots scattered all over the paper. Mike take a shot bulls eye. I get ready to take another shot and notice Mike had adjusted the scope power up to between 8 and 9. I was still shooting with it set between 3 and 4. Started getting closer to bulls eye. Then I did what I usually do when I target practice. I started trying too hard tensed up and started getting frustrated with myself. Scattered shots everywhere. Walked away and smoked a cig. and cleared my head. Last three shots were in the kill zone. Mike took a couple of 200 yard shots while I was clearing my head. They were in the kill zone. I know I need range time with this rifle and will go back. This is a very nice shooter and the Nikon scope was good to go. Like I said the rifle will excel at it`s job if I do mine. It will be my go too this next season.
