Thread: Seriously underrated 6.5x47 Lapua

I have no doubt we could spend some time with you behind it this week @Flyblown and you will easily cut those groups in half. The x47 is much softer to shoot than the .308 is too. The .308 does jump around a bit when on the bipod. Ive never shot prone with a hand on the fore end so that is very foreign to me. I feel more control from holding the rear of the stock and apply downward and rearward pressure into your shoulder. Let the muzzle bounce.. as long as it bounces the same each time..
Yeah that paddocks 100y line is far from a comfortable shooting position but I am well used to shooting in less than stellar conditions and positions.. @Friwi may recall a very wet and muddy nationals day at Whatawhata 1000 yard range where my team were shooting off bipods rolling in the mud and sheep shit without mats like pigs while the old boys watched on and took the piss..

It seems to be a bit of a theme for me.. the last time I took a mate goat shooting, I was getting pecked by a bunch of chickens as I was laying prone and sending lead out to 200 yards.. while it was very entertaining for him it was mildly off putting for my concentration levels.. lol. @Mintie do you still have that vid?
Id probably shoot like crap in nice bench rest conditions.. lol.
