So I had time to take the .30 out today. Took it hunting but no luck as I guess it was too early for most animals to be out and about lol. Anyways while there I decided to set up some targets at 75yds (ended up being 77yds lasered) and 100yds and a can of soda at 125yds. As you can see I didn't really have the best rest or setup lol my feet were on top of the tool box while prone.
Details on the gun are WARP COBRA .30 tuned at 820fps with JSB 44.75gr. Scope is SWFA SS 10x42 Mil-quad with Medium SWFA rings and a SWFA bubble level. Sighted in at 55yds. At 75yds I had a 1.5 Mildot holdover and 100yds was 4 Mildots. UTG 360 Recon bipod and a rubber butt pad and cheek riser on the stock. Gun likes a firm hold. I only have about 60 shots through it (in .30) which included these shots today and I'm shooting it this accurately! 39" long and 9lbs scoped! I'm more than impressed with this gun being a compact hunting rifle and being able to shoot it as accurate as I can. Also keep in mind I'm a hunter not a target shooter so this thrills me!
My setup being the bipod and a towel lol worked pretty good I must say

77yd target 5 shots just for a group and the 5 targets with one shot each once I got the rough holdover. I let my hold loose for the top right shot making the shot go off target. Learned that at 55yds that opened groups from nice and tight to 1.5"-2".
