Ernie,

Thats mighty fine shooting. It is so hard keeping that fifth one together instead of becomming a member of the frequent flyer club.

It is good to hear that you are happy with that rig BAT makes a very good foundation to start from. Which action model is it?

I know this is terrible, but I can't remember!Embarrased
I will post it later.
I was working so fast to trying to get all five in "the condition" that I never even worried about the last shot.

That is some remarkable shooting.

And for the record, I seriously doubt that we have a whole lot of people her who routinely (or ever) get results like this.  I have not seen a whole lot of 1000 yard groups that are less than 4 inches (to put it mildly).

That is some great shooting.  I can only dream one day of shooting a group like that, and that with a rifle.
