Thread: Hey Gimp is this you hiding out

It was what was available, I actually thought I had a Bartlein. Either one is the same thing, it's a cut rifled match barrel. Clearly it is adequate.

Yea it’s hard to find the perfect scope, there’s always a compromise to be had somewhere. Ticks the reliability, magnification, focal plane and reticle boxes for me so I just have to live with the weight. Just a bit more gym work I guess…..

The 2.5-10 NXS I have would be perfect if it was in FFP

I'm not fussed on that Maven scope, a bit heavy, slightly narrow FOV, not loving the reticle.
It feels like it's close but I've got enough scopes at them moment I'm not rushing to buy one.

Are you importing one from the USA?

The Leupold Mark 4hd 2.5-10x42 looks pretty nice, might pick one up some day.

Anyone else going to shoot this challenge?

I shot this 10 shot group back in April 22, once I sorted a load for my Sako 233. 52gr Targex @ 100m at Handloaders range Chch. Off the bipod & rear stock bag, similar shooting speed to you. The red dot is moa size & the group is a little smaller. Must try it again but prone.

10rnds to in a thin barrel is asking a lot. Could timelapse 3 x groups I’ll just have to break position in between.

Thats the thing isn't it...past two shots and you risk limiting the guns accuracy potential (and barrel life). And the irony is that you only need fine accuracy with more than one shot in a small percentage of hunting situations. When I'm shooting for accuracy its two shots and walk to the target...600 yards away mostly.

I totally agree...I do some walking which is good for me, the barrel and the suppressor.

You'd be surprised at what a well made thin barrel would do.

I shot my few few competitions and a few F Class rounds with a factory Tikka 260, 10+ round strings didn't effect accuracy much, or at all.

That being said the difference between a 223, 260, 308 and 7rem mag is vastly different.

Yeah cool your barrel if you believe in it. I don't, and it doesn't seem to matter with this 223 which is only a "sporter" contour.

There will be a lot of excuses, this is a "3 Shot Wallet Group" forum in the main. It is a tough challenge.



Here is my go from after work tonight, not there yet but encouraging enough to keep refining things (my shooting, reloading consistency etc) . . . . The Fiocchi factory ammo is very interesting! Sako not so much despite the fantasies of the 3 shot boys.
