New 700 out in the snow this weekend

So I had a new to me 700 out yesterday and today. Rifle is I think an older BDL model (not positive on that, serial number starts with A66). It's glass bedded into a nice laminate stock of unknown origin. Barrel is stainless, measures 20.75" and has a 1/12 twist rate. Bore looks like new.
Trigger has had work as Well, just a light touch and she fire (might want to stiffen a bit)

It came with a really old Bushnell Banner that has a built in range finder. Parralax adjustment.
I was shooting yesterday in a blizzard and found the scope just couldn't see through the falling snow. So I switched to a new Bushy 3200 2-7x32. Cheap but it holds zero.

Here's a few pictures, paper was shot yesterday through the blizzard at 200 yards. Can shot today from the same spot.

Lower left target is me just trying to find zero. Upper left is Hornady 155 grn two groups lower first, minor scope adjust and second group is a bit higher.
Upper right group is federal red box 168grn.

And lastly can was shot with the 168 grn.

Not a bad shooting rifle. Shots were all done prone in the snow through a blizzard lol. Plus my heart rate was way up from running back and fourth after each group. Shots in each group were all no more than 5 to 6 seconds apart. I'm not expert but I definitely prefer shooting in real world conditions as opposed to a bench.

I'm fairly happy with this rifle so far. Just wish I knew a bit more about this specific rifle. Definitely need a scope with longer eye relief. And a stock that's adjustable. Shooting prone with this plus my not so great scope is not comfortable

Just thought I'd share some of my weekend shooting fun
