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.

Geesh hard to argue with a guy that uses actual facts
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.
