I started working up loads and getting some dope for the 98 Bravo. The first day of shooting things went quite well, 1/2 minute groups at 100 and 200 yds.
Went out today to shoot the rifle prone and became frustrated with eratic groups. The day was a bit windy with a fairly consistent wind from 9 o'clock at about 10 mph. Shots at 200 yds were basically all over the place, probably about 1.5 minutes, which is not acceptable. After thinking it through, I guessed it might be the little screw thing on the back of the rifle. This is called a mono pod screw and foot. My suspicians are that this is a piece of shit, not sure yet. I am use to the M21, M14, M1A and Palma Rifles none of these have mono-pod foots, never had a luxury of a mono pod foot (WTF). I put a bag under the rifle and got back to a sub minute group, but ran out of ammo, so came home. I ordered some 300 grain bullets and will have another go at it next weekend.
