As most of ya'll know I lost my Dad unexpectedly back in May. We were really close, and I've kind of had a tough time. I got his deer rifle, but when I got it I was so upset I just stuck it in the safe and kind of forgot about it for a couple months. As time went by, it got a little easier, and I thought it would be cool to take Dad's rifle on my first rifle hunt of the season. So I got it out and took it to check the zero. I was gonna shoot it at Brad's, but since I prefer to not cry like a 12 year old girl in front of my friends I just took it to the deer lease lol. We have a 100 yard range there where we shoot down a high line right of way. I set up a target and put the rifle on the sandbags. Now I'm a decent rifle shot, but by no means am I sniper material or anything, so if I can keep them in a 2 inch group at 100 yards I'm happy. Dad had a half a box of 130 grain Remington Core Lokts and that's what he always shot, so I just loaded it up with the same ammo. The rifle is a Browning BAR in 270. I shot it a couple times over the years, but hadn't shot it in a long time. I took my time, shot 4 rounds, and went to check my group. When I found this I couldn't believe it. Semi auto's aren't known as accurate rifles, and like I say I'm not a great shot. I don't know that I may not have had a little help. Anyway, here is the group with my key fob for reference.
