Bought a Savage 12 LRP in 6.5 Creed from a fellow THF member a while back. Finally got a scope on it this week. Went with a Bushnell Elite Tactical 6-24x50. Got to the range today. I'll preface my report with fact that I'm not a target shooter by a long shot and not an over talented rifle shot. This is the first target/ real precision rifle I've ever had or shot really. I bought a couple boxes of the Hornady Precision hunter ELD-X I got it to zero in 4 shots. Would have been less if I had remembered that the reticle hashes were 0.5 mil not 1 mil. Anyway. Got it to zero at 100 and put this target together. I need more practice to get used to this trigger its super light and super crisp. Couple rounds went bang before I was really ready. Oh well. Always a good day at the range. Image is rotate 90 degrees left.

Little time doing some dry firing will get you closer to the trigger.

Had never done the dry fire thing before till a few years ago because I thought it would hurt the gun. After talking with a few on here I trust, it made a big difference for me.
I wouldn't call it bad shooting by any means either, if most people would take the time to do what you just did there would be a lot fewer misses opening morning.

Yeah, that looks good! That's a great start. Heck, it's about as good as I'll ever get. I make it a point to practice solely from a forearm rest since that's how I will be shooting in the field.

I cant hold a rifle steady for grud Coming from the only one to clean the 5 dot drill I call Nice shooting CowDoc. Savage's are shooters for sure and once you get comfortable behind it it will tighten up
