Rifle is probably MOA. Shooter isn't...

A few years ago I took the 5-15x Bushnell off my Remington 788 to test out the last AR I built. I remounted it a few months ago, but never rezeroed it.

Today, I went to the range with the rifle and 2 different handloads. To say I am rusty is an understatement.

Testing zero at 100 yards with handloads of a 150 gr. CoreLokt over Ramshot Tac.

I pulled the second and fourth shots. But... that's not too bad.

Next up were my 168 gr. AMax loads over H4895 to mimic Hornady's TAP loading. I think. Velocity is unconfirmed. Aimed at the bottom of the target to determine come-ups.

Pulled the third shot.

I packed it in after this. Was having a hard time concentrating, and could see a lot of movement in the scope.

But, with some more practice... this will become a fun rifle again.

I remember when you put together the 788, that was a few years ago for sure. Glad to see you back at the range!

Any day spent shooting (for fun) is a good day.

Speaking of which... I need to get to the range
