Thread: Film 32: Sako .223 Improvements

After a long hiatus over winter, I made a film. Sako .223, improvements and taking it for a walk today.

That rifle is a nice wee carry gun but the sights are a bit low for me.😆

Was shooting the .22 silhouettes off where you put the coke bottle with subs this morning. Was great fun.
Nigel shot a 5 shot half inch group with his .22 at 100

Wouldn't have believed it if I wasn't spotting for him😆

Did the .22 knock them over?

Yep. They fell off and you could hear the ping at the firing end. Was hilarious fun.

Did some more today. Wind was swirling all over the place. But never more than a mil dot either side. The mirage today helped a lot with judging and anticipating the hold.

I used those ones that look like a chook on the table to the left as you walk into the target room.

Awesome day up there today weather wise. Couldn't go whitebaiting as the river was still poos and couldn't get to my spot.
Got a heap of other stuff done at the range instead.

It's a Stug T3 pattern stock adapted to the A1 action.

Nice to see someone hunting with fixed sights P. Looks like a mint little carry rifle

Nice custom rifle gimp

It's been expensive and problematic with a lot of waiting, like all custom rifles. Should've bought a $600 ruger american rifle.

How do you find the aperture size on the Sako Peep

I found it was a little small so had it drilled out to give a larger sight picture, worked well for me

I had it drilled out slightly also.

Cool vid. Looks a lot like a T3 stock
