Got out to the range around 6:30 this evening and shot the Optima 3 times at 100 and was going to call it good before my brother in law asked if i wanted to set up some 200 yard targets. He wanted to shoot his AR15 out there so i said the heck with it. I grabbed two of the birchwood casey 12" shoot - n - c targets and loaded up the Optima.
100 yards on hot barrel,
4 3/4" on hot barrel
Now my first and second shots were perfect. The dummy at the other end of the rifle screwed up and didnt let the barrel cool down & she dropped low. It takes a good 6 minutes between shots for it to cool down. My last shot is touching the same hole as the First shot! This rifle is just amazing.
Oh and for the powerbelt lovers
8) That was done with the 245gr aerotip powerbelt and 100gr blackhorn209.
Gives you an idea of what it can do if you allow the barrel to cool down properly,
