About LinkBacksAbout 1.7" at 300 yards at which point I had to halt shooting paper and fire at moose (first prone shooting--ever). The photo shooting (prone) across the ice. It was also the first time I used Bryon List's Applied Ballistics program; I hit the pail 2 out of three times. Miserable conditions; too rough on my gear. Me too.
I received the barreled action July 17, put it together, and commenced shooting, testing loads. The safety lever broke and it went in for replacement, a 10 day--I was lucky--halt. I figure by next September I'll have shot it out to a mile, but my goal right now is to shoot at every opportunity and be proficient out to 1200 yards by then. Reality is that serious shooting isn't happening until sometime in May when both light and temperature combine to eliminate the worst environmental conditions making meaningful systematic development possible.
A labor of love--this is the most pleasant rifle I've ever shot--and it's practice, practice, and practice.

Nice looking rifle
It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
Rule 5: Check your firing zone
Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

Slick Sako, solid elegance, but then they're made in the home country of the world's most successful sniper!

Apart from the pistol grip, I quite like the look of that. Could you please give me a ball park figure of what that set you back? Originally Posted by Beavis
