This set-up is doing everything well. The GRS Hybrid stock almost feels like an unfair advantage for standing unsupported-position shooting and 50-yard bench-supported accuracy is a little better than I expected to get from a new rifle. My 1710 took almost 1k rounds before it started shooting its very best groups. The 1712 has less than half that many thru it.
First range trip was indoors to do a 25-yard sight-in with SK LRRM and RWS Rifle Match.

Had to make the usual windage and elevation adjustments on the scope but the initial boresight wasn't too far out of whack. Called it quits after 25 rounds each of the RWS and SK.
The next week had one day of 'light breezes' forecast so I took the afternoon off from work and went to the range to shoot at 50 yards.
Decided to finish-off my remaining stash of SK LRRM since it shot fairly well during the 25-yard test. The first shot on a cold bore went about .5" higher than I was aiming, and I thought I messed-up the initial elevation adjustment for 50 yards. The Leica AMPlus6 scope is the first MIL scope I've ever owned. I started to make a correction but, the next nine went where I was aiming.
Took five shots each at the corner targets.

Started getting an intermittent ejection issue that was quickly cured after a brief trip back to Anschutz North America for an extractor adjustment. Talk about great customer service. ANA is the American Express of firearms customer service. Matt, Brian and Austin got my 1712 action, fixed the extractor, and returned it within two weeks. Problem solved.
