Range Report
Rifle: Mossberg 4x4 .243 24 inch Barrel
Scope: Bushnell Banner, 6-18x50 Adjustable Objective
Ammunition: Remington Core-Lokt 100gr Soft Point, Federal Power Shock 100gr Soft Point
At first site I did not like the look of the Stock or the way the rifle feels as I brought it to bear on the target.
None the less I decided to keep it and was excited to shoot it with my older brother at his gun club. I shot this rifle once before today but did not document the evidence so it is really moot. I was shooting better that day but can only tell you that not prove it.
Today I did not shoot so well and the results are plain to see. With the Remington rounds I was all over and placed 6 shots randomly just above the bulls eye. I did manage to get a much smaller grouping with the Federal Rounds and then went out to 200 yards and a Gong. I was amazed that I shot better at 200 than 100 for some reason 10 rounds 5 more of each and made the bell ring 9 out of 10 times
On the left is an Image of the Target that I shot the Remington Factory loads on the Right is the Federal Ammunition Target.
Again I’m well aware my shooting technique is atrocious and I think the Rifle shoots better than I do as indicated by the three shot pattern on the target on the right. Hopefully with more practice I can show you three shot groups that are much tighter.
