It's a medium brother a 6.5 Creedmoor it was a finlight 2 that was put into a carbon light stock barrel is cut just short of the flutes, so about 19"
I will get the .223 coated to match at some stage.

I've got a few sakos but nothing compared to a mate of mine.

Sako A1 .222 ex-police rifle



Looking through the scope on a hind and fawn, they were left alone where I shot another hind instead.



A mates rifle in .223 that I used to use, the rifle was rebarreled, super accurate, the stock was all beat up but it only added to the intrigue of where it had been and what it had done. If he ever sells it I'll buy it in a heart beat!



The top one is my vixen .222 which i bought, the barrel was pitted and was since rebarreled to 6x45

The middle is the A1 .222 and the bottom is a sako 85 .222 which i was looking after for a mate.

Cheers for leaving that in ya pic, FYI that was a rapid shot group done when I was just farken asround, next time either crop the pic or use ya own farken target board before you go strokin ya own dick.

Mate, how many of us could put up 5 groups like that on the AccuracyChallenge ?

Hey mate, if you're referring to my post ?

Then here's the 9-11 re that photo old mate 199 posted, I got home after going to the movies with the kids & saw that post, in hindsight I probably should of been more descriptive but will do now



Everything in life is about timing & perception, so with the above - A group of us fun fullas ( not including 199p ) were out enjoying a day away from work, having fun n just mucking shooting last Friday arvo, I ended up leaving my shit on the frame then Shane popped up Sunday to do some range work, seems he just used my target board ( no stress ) & shot a very very nice group with his little green dot target.

My issue is he then posted a pic of his "AccuracyChallenge" & then mentioned my shite group next to it, why I don't know ? It could of been cropped out or could of just been a random sitter on the side but no he decided to put my name on it with no context to the story line.



Just seemed like a low blow dick move to me.






PS - & as now dirtied up a nice clean thread of beautiful rifles

What's wrong with your group ? It's realistic. Not cherry-picked

Phil Mate you can take it like that if you want but was not my intention and there was no malice in it.

I am sorry to offend you was merely trying to keep the good thread going, with an update after I gave it a good scrubbing and shot it over a crony.

My new to me A5 only 1 animal with it so far

love the grain, what calibre rounds do you feed it?

Its a .270, havent sighted it in since putting new scope on it a few days ago, shot 25mm group with the crappy old burris that was on it so keen to see what it can do
