My first outting ever with a scoped rifle.

At 100 yards. It has been sighted to 200yd, hence when I center the mildot cross hairs on the center target and the bottom right, I shot about 3.5in high. I will correct that next time.

I purposely aimed a little low (but not low enough) on the bottom left.

Not shot from rest. Shot from bipod.

My uncle tells me these are "respectable" groups for a "novice".

I have a feeling that a 5x power scope at 200yd is going to look very far away. We will see.
