.22 SP-101 at range

Finally made it today, to try my new SP and Wolff springs. Three hours and 300 rounds later, I think I like it.
I have a strained shoulder from work (spinning a bus steering wheel all week can do it), and the SP is heavier than what I've been shooting, so I had a hard time getting the sight elevation set. Windage was one click off to left out of the box.
Shot at about 20 yards, and finally settled on four shot groups staying in a three inch ring around the bull. Most holes were inside 2 1/2, at least. 200 rounds of AutoMatch, and 100 of Federal bulk HP. I only had 1 FTF, with the AM, so I think the 13 pound Wolff hammer spring is a go. It's the lightest they offer.
No issues with the SP, besides brushing out the extractor, bore and chambers every hundred rounds. I'm not wild about the optic sight. The green dot kinda blanks out the blade, so I did better with a twelve o'clock hold instead of six. Hopefully next trip I'll shoot better, as today the SP didn't quite match what I usually do with my Bearcats on paper.
