Thread: Unimpressed by Optima Can...

First shots out of the R8 6.5x47 today. Started with the can on, quiet enough, but hardly a group, ugly as. Took it off and looked for strikes but couldn’t see any. Under good light though, noticed ghastly tool chatter marks around the crown of the final baffle, and what looks like dings or chips around the circumference. Since the anodising is missing, I wonder if this might have been done by the previous owner. Trip to the toolmaker in order I think, get it cleaned up.




Three shots touching without the can, so the rifle is well capable.
