One thing about living in the country, you can have your shooting range right next to the old dairy barn. I may not be able to shoot for long tho, my tomatoes may get high enough I cant see the 100 yd target. Anyway, I've been battling a Ruger Hawkeye in 257 Roberts and cussing a lot. So for a confidence boost I dragged out the Franken rifle. Always has been a good shooter, I have a lot less in this Frankin rifle that that damn Ruger. 1st shot was low and right, so I adjusted my Simmons 2.8-10 x 44 , yes you read that right, got the exact movement I put in at dead center . Added 3 more to make the little smiley face, so I decided I'd put one more just for good measure. I felt it slip as the trigger tripped. Damn, I walked down there and had a look, not bad at all. 1/2" group by my measurement. Anyone looking to buy a Ruger Hawkeye in 257 Roberts? Might would let it go for the right money. Pretty Pretty rifle, shoots like S4!#. I am still thrilled to death with the Franken rifle tho, 120 Mk moving along very nicely and groups good too. The thing about this gov't imposed shut down is I am burning a lot of powder, every day. Hope this finds everyone well and healthy.
