Just back from the range.

My son shot a 2" group at 100 yds with his Marlin
(30-30 Hornady Leverevolution).

I shot a perfect 1" equilateral triangle (.30-06 165 grain) with my old Model 70.

Neither of us will be adjusting our scopes. I figure his imprecision is mostly him - not his scope. I figure my 1" grouping is pretty dang good with today's 25 mph cross-winds.

Any suggestions for him? This is his first elk season.
