Ever have one of those, "I should have just stayed home" days?
Well fellows I finally got the new Bushmaster "Predator" upper broke in per the instructions. Fire x number of rounds , clean, repeat....you know the drill. Anyway during the "break in" I found I didn't really like the 6 position stock so I ordered an A2 buttstock from "Delton" (Thanks Orlando everything I've gotten from them has been first rate stuff).

Ok so new stock installed rifle broke in it's a beautiful day for shooting, color me gone! I'm headed out to site the rifle check out my groups, test the loads I've worked up etc!
I have the Leupold AR scope mounted, it is preset for a 55 gr bullet @ 3000 fps. I set up my bench, my bags and rifle, carefully place my chronograh 15 yds away, chamber a round get on the scope squeeze the trigger and......

#$%&^^$#@@$%%^% Just smoke the shizzznitz out of my chrony!$Svomit$
Yep should have just stayed home!
Bright side is I went ahead and sited in @ 100 yds. Wound up getting a 9 shot group that measured < 1".
7 of 9 tore a 3/8" hole in target while I must have pulled two rounds that struck almost a 1/2" from the others.
$bomb$
Thrilled about the groups, sick about the senseless destruction of my chrony!
