Title: Dead center
Post by: sdilts on September 18, 2025, 04:13:17 PM

I put a new 62 cal Rice barrel in an old rifle that my friend has. This was his first shot. Just about as dead center as you can get. Needless to say, he was tickled.

I'll have to check with him to see if he has shot it anymore. He may have quit while he was ahead. :)

I'd have an accuracy load for it by now and zero's (sight profiles) to 200yards.
