Just picked up a 111 Long Range Hunter in 7MM topped off with a Vortex Viper HST 6-24 x 50. Chucked 10 rounds through it with a scrub between shots. Then sighted in 1-3/4 high at 100yrds.
The next two groups of three at 200 yrds. The first 2 shots just below the 1 inch line and 1 flyer. 1 click down and the next group of three right on except for another flyer.
That's when I slipped a bill down the barrel and it didn't even start. Noticed the front of the stock starting to touch the barrel so I shut down and came home to tweak the stock.
Back out tomorrow testing Hornady SST's in 162gr. pushed by a little more powder. I was averaging 2955 fps.
