Here are the pics I've taken:


The first is of the Bolt Catch when not extended (i.e. charging handle not pulled back.




You can see that it doesn't fully cover the impression hole in the lower. I think that's what Mike was referring to when he said it's not properly oriented over the lower hole. Either that, or the spring is really weak.

Here's another view:




And another from the opposite side (sorry a bit out of focus):




If I open the lower and look at the inside, I see this:




And when I try to pull back the catch, I get this:




And, finally, from the other side:

I still have my bipod I may get the device that lets me tighten it more, because it needs to be, but I'll keep the bag on the rear.

If it tells me I need 0.5 mils at 200 yds from my zero, it centers that shot in the 200 yds target every time (as long as I do my part). You can get the free version but the Pro gives you more flexibility and it’s a one time purchase (cheap too).

I'll look into it. Does it have a Kestrel hook up?

It's zeroed at 100, but not yet "true." We'll be working on that during the Long Range 201 course. I'll take that after a bit of practice at 100 yds. I need to make my groups a lot tighter.
