55 grain Sierra Gamekings
Average grouping 0.8"
69 grain Sierra Gamekings
Average grouping 1.2" (this suprised me as I expected a lot better out of this weight in a 1:9).
77 grain Sierra Matchkings
Average grouping (out of 6 x 5 shot groups) 0.4"
I did 4 groups of 0.35" (excluding my pull in the image below).

Very happy chappy with these groupings (at least the 77s... the 55's are alright).
Nice one :D
I bought one the same recently, hope mine groups that well! So far have only got it roughly on paper, no time to do anything else yet.

Nice one Ben. I've had weird results with mine during load development, but it seems to really like the heavy projectiles. I'm about to send it off to get threaded for a suppressor.
Good old Savages :) they've got a good reputation for accuracy out of the box.
Have you tried the 77smk on game? Mine will be mostly used on goats/wallabies rather than bunnies, wondering if the match stuff bill be a bit too frangible.
No I haven't. I've got no idea how they'd perform. They do ahve a little hollow point at the end. Anything will kill a rabbit.Quote:

I would imagine they will be fine. I used to use 75grain vmax in 25/06 going stupid faast and they were the ultimate goat load

I envy you guys and your supressor's over there, it's crap we're stuck without em.
I know mate it's stupid. Keep pressuring the government and show em it's not like hollywood where you can fire a "silenced" barret 50 cal and have it make no noise. Surely they'd be keen for it purely because it'd save them on hearing related healthcare claims in the future right? I dunno, as with many things it seems like an arbritraty political decision.Quote:

I dot think theres much hope for us, the government was waiting for a chance to ban everything gun related an when port Arthur happened they had all the ammunition they needed to ban most things (pardon the pun)

This is ugly as but man its quiet and accurate and just holds zero so well. After the first cold shot you just cant miss..When you start to miss a pull through then you re away again.
I dont have to walk far with it so who cares...

nice looking machine that one..
Those T-bolts look like a sweet action, how is the straight pull in real-world use?
Hey GravelBen,yeah the straight pull is sweet ,they take a little getting used to, there's initially an urge to cycle and push up and down as you would on a normal bolt ,but once you get used to straight back and straight forward there great and very fast to cycle.
Hi All,
Kimber 84M Varmint Rifle in .204 Ruger – it was my walking varminter until I put the stainless MAE suppressor on it and the bipod.
Gary McColl also did a fab trigger job on it. It has an A-grade walnut stock, glass bedded satin finished stainless steel barrel with a twist rate of 1: 12.
Zeiss Conquest 6.5-20x50 Varmint Riflescope. The trigger job was the best thing I did for the rig - breaks like glass!
Attachment 9832
Nice rifle. How do you get it to stand by itself on that mono pod???
LOL. I only noticed that when I posted the photo. I don't think the mono pod will be a big hit!
Currently working on a Sauer .223 for walking. Maybe a carbon graphite can - advice ??
Kimber groups best with Federal and BlitzKing 39's
Attachment 9833
Shit thats a sweet group!
The rifle shoots better with the stainless can (weight and harmonics) and I shoot it better with the trigger job! After this result - I sent all my triggers in for a nip and tuck !!
I can actually relate to that. Just put a MAE on my .270 and had trigger done and have improved also. Not that bloody good though!!!Quote:

I've shot this more than any other firearm I own ... even more than the 10/22.

Hey R93 ... as requested ... here are some more pix of the new Sauer. I've only run in and sighted in ... yet to draw blood. If only it would stop raining when I get time off.

Thats one sexy beast Gunzrrr.
Thanks Bryan, I'm hoping to use it down your way on some wallabies in the next few weeks. Cheers Gunzrrr.
Here is my Ruger 96/17 .17HMR with a cheap Nikki Stirling 3-9x42 scope.
Great rifle and perfect for walking around after rabbits, hares and foxs in Australia, where my shooting distances were between 20-100m. Longest shot was around 160yds.
Was very upset when I had to sell it prior to moving from Victoria to Western Australia. I don't think Ruger make the 96/17 anymore.
Agonised for ages over the calibre after owning a 10/22 in New Zealand. But was extremely happy with the decision. .17HMR is prefect for the shooting that I do.

Oh man the Ruger 96 was ballin', I wish they'd make them again.
Here is my CZ 452 which I just got chopped to 16"; mean wee thing now. It's wearing a Weaver 2.5-7x28.
