Well, you have a gun that is capable of shooting well!

Well It’s not a 5X5, it’s a 6x5. Six groups of five slugs, shot consecutively at 101yds. Six group average = 1.06 MOA. BRK .30 Sonoran, AEA 52.2gr slugs, Discovery ED 5-25x, DIY front and rear rests. 849.5fps average. I know too slow for slugs. It was tuned for AEA 45gr pellets. The only change I made was half a mil left in the scope.

Nice shooting Bill

Thanks, luckily it was getting dark, so I quit before I spoiled it lol.

NICE!

Thanks. That’s one thing about BRK, I’ve had the stock and scope off twice since I last zeroed it and it was smack on.

Brk are well built powerful but not the most powerful.

I shot 3 5x5 challenge cards at 101yds with my FX Panthera MkII .30 700mm yesterday and today. I was shooting AEA .30 50.5gr pellets. I actually shot 6 groups on one card for a total of 16 groups. It averages out to around 1.02 MOA. There were a couple of flyers and I can’t seem to get the average SD below about 5 using the 1:40 pellet liner. I think in the hands of a better shooter, this rifle is probably a sub-MOA rifle.

I also shot one using AEA 52.2gr slugs. I didn’t change anything except 4 clicks 1/8 MOA of elevation. This was also with the FX 1:40 pellet liner. FX AMP II. Regulator. Five group average was 1.02 MOA.

Great shooting by both of you @Billm ns @Solo1

Bill with groups like that I would not be worried about the SD numbers!

I’ve found that the SD improves when the tune is around 96-98%. It just throws some weird flyers now and again.
