Did I channel my inner Fudd properly?

Nothing wrong with the magazine?

Looks plastic?


I mean, really, if you can't get it done with a single shot from a flintlock, you're just a poor shooter....

Are you using a bipod or front rest? What are they? Do you have a rear bag? Which one?
What is your bench made of?

Never be satisfied with an unstable platform. You should have a dead solid natural point of aim. Meaning with you laying on the rifle, you should be dead weight with veritably no movement in your reticle. If you have to HOLD the reticle in the center of the target, you are inducing human error. Front rest should be solid. Rear bag should be tight enough that the weight of you laying on the rifle places the reticle in the center of the target without you needing to “hold” it there.
Close your eyes. Take a couple breaths. Open them. If the reticle is not still centered, fix your platform. Move your body. Gain a natural point of aim. Whatever. Build your platform. Do not accept mediocrity.

Does Glock make a .308 magazine?

Its either too big or too small. Real rifles use stripper clips - or at least enbloc clips - to load. Or if it has to have a magazine, it needs to hold at least 30 rounds and be Glock compatible!

Ammo used was Federal Premium Gold Medal Sierra matching 168 gr. This stuff shot amazing. First 2 touching, 3rd 4th and 5th all in 3/4 inch. Hornady Super performance 150 gr SST ammo was not as accurate. None touched but all five were within an inch of each other. This rifle made me look good today.
No pics, the range was hot and it was too hot to sit and wait.
