Ive had this rifle for about a year now. Ive been wanting to get into the long range game for a while, but just recently got on a lease where it may be somewhat possible. It used to wear a Millett scope with the Mil-Dot reticle, but since I have had such great luck with Nikon scopes on my other rifles, and since I wanted to find a scope to look better with the rest of the stainless on this gun, I changed it out for this one. Its a Nikon Prostaff 5 BDC.
Ive actually had this rifle out to 600 in the past, but it took me a few shots to get the holdover correct (no spotter). Id rather use the old Kentucky windage than fiddle with the turrets anyway.
Got this one zeroed in at 100 yards, and went straight out to 500 (485 to be exact). Opened the Spot-On app on my phone, punched in all my stats and specs, and BAM! This thing is right on...first try. I didnt measure the group, but knowing what the plate size is, can get an idea. Also this is off the roof of my truck with a bipod only.
Plate is 10" x 10" steel (red arrow in pic). Ammo is Federal GMM 168gr SMK. Rifle is Savage BVSS .308...completely stock, no mods except adding rail and scope.
