Bedford rifle range report

[Scout]

On Friday morning I went to the range and sighted it in at 35 yards off a bench, no bags just elbows.
On a CMP B-19 target center I hit a 7 at about 6 o'clock with my first shot.  A 9 at 7 o'clock, a 9 at 2 o'clock cutting the 10 ring and 2 touching at about 5 and 6 o"clock in the X. I didn't even have to adjust the sights.

I wanted to shoot a bunch more BUT it started raining ( I love Florida  ) so I left.

I used 70 grs. FFF Goex, .490 ball, .018 pillow ticking patch lubed with Hoppes #9 Plus, 4F in the pan.

I know it can do better, I'm the weak link, 57 year old eyes and not as steady as I once was.
I do think I have that broad side of a barn door thing covered though.

The trick to that "that broad side of a barn door thing " is to go inside and close the door.

Looking very good for the test - and elbows. Seem to have the zero about right, but might have to file just a tich off the front sight for a 25 & 50 yard zero.

Most all my shooting is at 100 yards and I do intend to hunt deer and hog with this rifle.
I will probably just leave it as is and adjust by changing my point of aim depending on the situation.
