FX Royale 400& Leupold VXIII 4.5×14 LR Holland reticle

I got the FX Royale and the Leupold scope in today along with some Sports Match rings.

The scope was advertised as being a 30 MOA ART reticle and was in fact a 21 MOA reticle, it is so frickin cool I can live with that.

I mounted the scope on the rilfe and was able to sight it in and get two groups off the 58 220s Mercedes before dark.

I usually shoot my Condor and Ranger 45 at this range, if I get 1/2 inch I am stoked, the FX Royale did not shoot 1/2 inch groups. It shot two groups with identicle measurements, .21 for 5 shots, twice.

I bought a bottle of expensive French Vodka made from grapes that I am nursing this evening, it is so very smooth, but not as smooth as this rifle scope comination.

Tomorrow it is another day starting with a 5 mile power hike, hoping hot coffee shakes off the effects of this fine vodka, up and down the hills in the vineyard, then some 50 to 100 yard benchrest shooting.

Life here in Oregon is a dark and lonely job, but someone has to do it.
