I did :-D
The 2nd rifle is a Browning X Bolt Max Long Range chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor. It has a stock with a much better grip, and adjustable chin rest. I have mounted the scope and am waiting for an additional lens from scopeaid.com to arrive, so I don't have to wear my prescription glasses while shooting. The new rifle is noticeably heavier than the first, I assume due to the MUCH thicker barrel.

You will like shooting the 6.5 Creedmoor far better than the field artillery you bought before.

So I *finally* got the 6.5 Creedmoor out to the rifle range today. I have to say: It is *much* easier to shoot than the 300 Win Mag.
Here are the 7 groups I shot at 100 yards after first having shot a couple of groups at about 50 yards to get the scope dialed in
I'm particularly happy with groups 2 and 3.
Must practice more! This is too much fun!

I knew you would like the 6.5 Creedmoor. I need to get to the range more. I belong to the three different ranges, the closest has a 100 yard indoor range which makes shooting on the cold/windy days much nicer.

I was real happy to see that I got a pretty good zero on the rifle & scope yesterday. On the shots where I shot best, the round impacted the target *exactly* at the crosshairs at 100 yards.
Next, I want to practice how I hold the rifle, breathing and trigger squeeze.

What range are you shooting at?

Burro Canyon Shooting Park, near Azusa.
The drive there is pretty annoying, but once you are there, it's nice enough. Usually not a lot of people and the staff is pretty helpful.
