Sorry chief, I don't start getting the bullet yaw stabilized till after the 100 yard mark. She will shoot virtually the same group size from 0-200 yards, under 1/2" consistently if I do my part.

We could put yours in a lead sled......Or you could get glasses......

I gotta look and see if I can find out how old my M96 is, mines a tack driver as well, and was my first exposure to what has become my all time favorite caliber.

The reason us old guys have to make more money than them young guys is we have to use scopes......................

I quit fighting mother nature about 20 years ago, now I just figure 2X the cost of the glass to the cost of the rifle.
