That's great steelfingers. Good shooting...

If you hear of anyone looking for the Ruger Enhanced Precision Rifle in 6.5, I'll have it at the upcoming Badshot Gun Show in Guthrie next weekend! I agree with you it's a great caliber!!!!

Looks like its going to be a good one. I sure do like that predator.

Thats going to be hard to help with when not in person. I shoot on the exhale, not holding. Use a front and rear bag and you wont have to worry much about heartbeat. Pull your front sling stud out when on bags also. Most importantly find what works for you, not someone else.

Breathing starts at 3-20.

But.....breath deep for a few breaths, exhale out and hold, now hold crosshairs on target when heart is not beating, when your heart beats the crosshairs will leave target and should fall back on, when your heart thumps again start to take up slack in trigger and slowly beging to pull, ideally the rifle will fire when beat is over and crosshairs are on target.

This is deep and IMHO tricky to do if your adrenaline is at all in play. Good luck.

I've been to a couple of the Badshot shows, I will try to come up. How can I find your booth to say hello. The precision ruger is a gem.

I met you at McAlester show.

Rear bag at a minimum, front bag would be more steady than bipod.

Thanks.
Have a Lead Sled Solo that I will take out next go. Want to confirm (or adjust) my zero at 100 and then move it out to 200.
My range has that distance, but no need pushing it out further than 200 until I get my fundamentals where they need to be.
Once I do that, I can figure further distances and if I want to dope or hold over.
But first things first. Insure my zero is zero. Second, my fundamentals are solid.
Then start pushing out with a bipod and later with no support.

I'd recommend Wilshire in OKC, they have an indoor 100 yard range. Gets rid of a lot of variables. This would be most important if you plan on stretching it out. Inside you can get it dialed in exactly right.
