Hey folks!
I have a new Streamline so I thought that I would try it at distance. I measured out 300 feet from the target stand to the muzzle with a 100’ tape measure. I marked the distance so I can set up anytime without having to measure again.
I was feeling a little need for some trigger time tonight but I was also feeling lazy and procrastinating on getting set up. That feeling kept knawing at me so I was able to get my lazy bones up and get the rifle and range set up to try the SL at distance. Conditions were calm, overcast and 63 degrees with a few light sprinkles.
I shot a total of 7 targets and they were all pretty close to the same size groupings. Nothing was over 1.7 inches and most right around 1.5.
This was the smallest group but not the best looking. Those 3 “outliers” would have looked better just inside the 10 ring instead of just outside but it was the tightest of the 7 so I’ll submit it and let it stand to the judges scrutiny. Ha ha!
The first question that may come up is the size of the target printed. The 4 MOA ring is actually smaller than 4”. It’s 3.8” so if that’s a problem and it disqualifies me then so be it. It was fun anyway and you can’t take that from me! 😜

No worries, the 4 MOA ring being smaller is not the issue being larger is the problem. The ring being smaller makes it a little harder.
Good shooting and I upgraded you to Expert on the list. Congratulations.
