I was just giving you crap.
You will likely shoot better groups when your bullets are NOT landing on your aiming point.
If you shoot out your aiming point, you do not have as good of an aiming point for the successive shots of the group.
This often causes the group to grow larger.

If you want to have a perfect zero, use a new aiming point for every shot and then measure your maximum deviations from the center of the dots to figure out your group size.

I printed out this target. Thank you Randall.
One question; If your cross hairs are thicker than the dots, how do you convince the wife to allow you to make another scope purchase?

Don't convince her.
Ask for forgiveness later.

If your crosshairs are too wide for those 1/2" dots, dial 1/2moa or 1/10 mil of elevation and windage and then place the circle against two crosshairs instead of UNDER the crosshairs.

Why the pistol grip VS reg grip and stock?

I though pistol grip was only good for spray and pray or when you got a big rear spring tube like AR.

Because it makes the rifle more assaultier, yo.

OP - very nice looking rifle.

"Couldnt see a need for the folder"

I have two rifles in folding chassis. It makes them a little bit easier to clean.

[prob]

I think your rifle looks like a million bucks. The only thing I would change would be the clunky bolt knob. My preference runs more to those produced by Badger Ordinance, or at least that type. But if it makes you happy, that's all that matters.

You did a great job putting together a very nice rifle without breaking the bank.

Didnt want to pay to have it cut off and welded. So i bought the krg that is a bolt on polymer job. It works for me and fit the budget.
As for the pistol grip- it works much better for me ergonomically since i have an issue with my wrist. I put a pistol grip,on my shotgun because i cant load well at the angle of the regular rifle stock. There might be some reason for it since pretty much every prs competitor uses one. Must be because its more assaulty.

Don, congrats on a very nice rifle. Like you I picked up a 5r from Turners, still working on my project tho.

usmcchet9296, that m40 looks pretty awesome too.
