I know that's not very long distance, but it was my first time shooting a rifle in a very, very long time. Gun was a Surgeon action with a 6.5 Creedmore chamber and barrel on an AI 2.0 stock. Not my rifle, so I can't get a picture of it and didn't think to; sorry about that.

How did you get your hands on a Surgeon?

I was taking an intro to long distance rifles class. The instructor has an AI AEI MKII, and the host (who owns a gun store) has the Surgeon. It was magnificent. Their actions are so smooth I swear they're forged in Olympus.

I'm jelly.

Me too. He's sunk almost $10k into that rifle, though. I keep thinking one day I'll do that, but I'm married, so that'll never happen. At least not all at once....

Great shooting!
Why were you zeroed at 100 yards?
3
Length of the pit we were shooting in. We were supposed to go to a 1200yd range, but it was a 110 deg F with 20-30mph winds, so we said fuck it, let's go to a shorter place and just shoot 10 rounds and get back in the AC.

Was that with irons, or what scope were you usiing?
2
Scope. Premier, I think the Heritage 5-25x56mm, which I think may be kinda cheating.

I have no idea what you're worried about, that's a way better than average group. Good job and keep practicing
