Thread: Film 22: Shooting the .260

A little range work on some steel plates, and attempting a THLR proficiency test from a totally unprepared starting position - nothing dialled, scope on minimum magnification, caps closed, earplugs out, rifle unloaded and slung, etc

Good to see another convert to the earplugs.

I found some with gel plugs on the end, lower NRR but tighter band and easier to get in.

Very good shooting! What does the Finn(not)lite ;-) weigh with that scope?
I like the look of that set up!

4.1 kilograms with scope, suppressor, that cheekrest, sling. Light enough considering the scope is 870 grams! It works great for me, 392 rounds through it now.

would of smoked that test if you did nana around

these 6.5's are no fuss do the job.

That was interesting. I like your methodical approach to things gimp.

Great shooting gimp, very impressed. like the boxed Pinot and fry up. Too classy.

Thanks for sharing. Just got a Tikka super lite 260. Shooting VLD's nicely so far.

The pinot box contained nothing more exciting than ciabatta rolls I'm afraid

And here I was content with going and buying another T3 or A7, now i want my 85 back! great video as always Gimp.

nice shooting

I hate the bloody things, earmuffs are the only way to go. And you need to watch for ear infections if you use plugs a lot, along with getting your ears cleaned out by a nurse regularly.

How did you score on the proficiency test?
