Well I finally managed to get out and shoot the rifle. I went out to one of the local national forests. Unfortunately the only spot where I could find a clear open area with a backdrop was a marsh area, and there was a buttload of mosquitos/gnats.
I brought 200 rounds of American Eagle .223 with me that I wanted to shoot to test reliability, but only managed to get through 100 rounds before the sheer amount of bugs flying into my mouth/nose made things unbearable.
So here's some pictures, I really have no idea how far away the target was, maybe 50 yards. The log in the middle was where the marsh area was.
This was my first time shooting a rifle and all shots were from a standing position on uneven ground in bushes. I couldn't benchrest on the table because the bushes were too high. /end of excuses
Basically I'm pulling shots to the lower left, probably a result of jerking the trigger. The 5 shot group was the first one of the day. The grouping on the neck area was when I was aiming for the head, and the grouping in the lower left of the body was when I was aiming at the chest. I probably need to work on squeezing the trigger straight to the rear.
I lubed the bolt carrier group pretty well the day before with ballistol and the gun had no malfunctions.
