M77 Ruger .280
Headed to the range to sight in a new scope on the Ruger. Started off a bit rough as I was over compensating. I was really proud of the last four shots (circled). I got it dialed in really well for these old eyes. There's a bit of a glare but there's four shots just above the bullseye grouped almost like a cloverleaf. 100 yards using a Burris Fullfied E1 scope.

Re: M77 Ruger .280
Very nice group. I've always liked Ruger 77s. They sometimes take a bit of tuning, but I've had great luck with them.

Re: M77 Ruger .280
That is a good combo: Ruger M77 and the .280. Win-win! Nice group to finish with.

Re: M77 Ruger .280
Yes sir, It's a load using 48.4 gr of IMR 4350, a Nosler HBTSP 150 gr bullet, and Remington nickel cases. The M77 has the heavy barrel and is a good shooter. I got it for a great price a few years back with a Leupold fixed 12X target scope. I sold the scope and put the money towards the Burris which is a 4.5 - 20 X 50mm. With my macular degeneration I have to have all the help I can get.

Nice job Jake. Those last 4 rounds say it all. I'd say you got it dialed in just right.
