Shoots ok to. First 5 shot group with only 10 rounds down the barrel. This group includes the cold and clean bore shot to, so there is no need to foul this barrel before you go hunting.

I was hoping to have the first poo brown blouser stock on NZHS, ah well

got 500rds of that norma stuff too, hope it shoots as well in mine

lot of great minds thinking alike at the moment it seems (or thinking alike 9 months ago, with wait times.... )

I've had this one nearly a year now.

Just watching some gun porn on seven sharp!😉
Mmmmm Tiffany

Very nice! Is that an ATACR? How are you finding it?

Yea mate it is a ATACR. It seems like a nice scope so far. Eye box is a little tighter than a NXS but other than that it's been good. It's for my 300 Blaser mag barrel which has just arrived so I'll have more of a play with it on that before I have a full opinion on it.

Shoots tight, have you any idea of speed LR

2400ish or something. Sloooooooooooow

Yea is real slow 2425 ave over oehler. That's fine for out to 400m tho since it's so accurate. I shot it at 550m and the wind was blowing a steady 10mph and still managed a 3 1/2" 5 shot group. It's one of those things where you just forget about the velocity number and enjoy putting your projectile on target, also enjoy the massively extended barrel life.

Had 1000rds of the stuff your shooting sitting at my place untill the owner took it away this morning.
By the look of your shooting I should have tried to nic some and stuff the rest of the box with paper.

Not bad.....apart from the 4th and 5th shots below your finger.

Have you cut your barrel LR.
I had possession of a brand new R8 yesterday, met the deliverer at the local, and he promptly cut 2" off the end of the barrel, straight out of the box, damn.
Frigging glad it wasn't mine.

Yeah, I don't think so sunshine. It's a one holer setup. Seen it plenty of times, including the one in the photo.

But haters gonna hate.

Na my barrels not cut. I actually pay the ridiculous price to have the factory thread the barrel. The blaser isn't really lightweight or real handy so I don't see cutting a couple of inches off making much difference practically, but we all use them differently so each to ones own I guess.
