Hunting rifle group photo's

It wasn't me!

After a glass and pillar bedding job by Clive J. It's just a bit tighter than previously and a bit more consistent. Groups will tighten up a bit too. I added some weight to the trigger to have better feel when it's cold, so there's about 3.25lb on it now. Once I'm more used to that, groups will shrink.

Range: 120 yards
Wind: none
Conditions: Cold and wet. Shot off bipod with no rear rest.
Rifle: Newly bedded Sako 75 Hunter in .25-06
Ammunition: Federal Powershok 117 gr soft point

after looking at this tread it put me in the mood for some paper punching, jeeze i was rusty. find it very hard to concentrate on the target, lot easier to hold aim on crow mag or fox!

i am in the process of running in my .243 sako/trueflight, i have gone threw 15 rounds of cleaning and firing yesterday, it takes ages.
and this morning i free floated the barrel as the new one is bigger than the old one. any way thats another thread.

rifle. sako/trueflight

range. 100y

ammo. 100gr privi .243

conditions. calm

target. my evil roy portable steel target

first shot on steel was high and right so i dialed into that and then fired a 4 shot string into the centre of the steel



this close up shows that i could cover the dots with my thumb nail which would make the group about 1/2"



cant wait to try some other rounds and see how they go:D:D:D:D:D

It wasn't me!

Got down to Midlands today and did some shooting with the .25-06 to keep the hand in before I get out for a stalk some day this week. Fired first at 200. I suspect the velocity from that barrel is greatly reduced due to the short length, would like to chronograph it to confirm, as it's hitting an inch and a half low at 200 when it should be about dead on.

Rifle: Sako 75 in .25-06
Range: 200 yards
Ammo: Federal Powershok 117gr Soft Point
Conditions: Fine
Group: 3 shots at 1.25"



Then moved out to 300. Had only fired at 300 once before and wasn't settled. Wasn't really today either but wanted to check drop. Wind had picked up a little so drifted a bit. Drop was much more than expected, a full foot, which also points to low velocities, but I can manage it for now until I come up with a fix.

All the same parameters regarding rifle, but 300 metres.
Group: 5 shots at 2.5"
