That is some very great shooting you have done there. ;D Your english is just fine.
This group did today, but I can not really be consistent in the groups varied from it, 1" or some flying to me is a 1.1/2" group.
I hope to improve consistency when I install a riflescope most appropriate, because the S & B from 1.5 to 6 x 42 R4 does not help me to make good accuracy

I am sure you will find the right scope for your needs. When shooting targets at 100 yards, for the best accuracy from a precision firearm, it is best to have a high magnification scope like 8.5-24x50mm. This will allow you to quarter up the bullseye to put your shots consistently in the same hole everytime; of course a lot of this also comes from the skill of the shooter.

S&B is probably the best scope made.I think you will find that something that ends in 12 or 14 power will do everything you will want it to.I use a Zeiss Conquest 4.5 X 14 X44 on my Varmint rifle and have shot Richardson ground squirrels out 550 yds with it.This is on an Encore Rifle in 22-250 AI.I have a XS7 now that I am rebarreling to 22-250AI with a 1-8 twist for a walk around Varmint rifle.You really did a great job on your rifle.good shooting ,OB
