Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Lets see some Sako's

Difference between a man and a boy is the price quantity of his toys.

Evidently Shrap is Da Man!

I remain a professional small boy.


And, Shrapnel,

I appreciate the invite more than you know. However there be numerous commitments through much of the remainder of the year.

Plus, I've been trying to get a bead on this lil' hoglet..........



Set out for him about half a dozen times but evidently he's smarter than I am. But I'm persistent. Heading back after him Thursday.

and BTW,

Got to thinking, between the Sauers, Coopers, Merkels etc., I've neglected shooting some of my Sakos.

Took the old 7 Mag to the range this morning.

My go to load has been 140 gr. Accubonds. Decided to try some 160 gr. Sierra HPBT's, !75 gr. Sierra Spitzer and some 160 gr. Accubonds. Hadn't cleaned the barrel in quite a while so I did the JB Bore Paste/Kroil/Bore Brush thingy.

The Sierras didn't group as well as I wanted. Or it could have just been fouling the barrel.

But when I got to the accubonds......



First three at 100 yds.



Made some adjustments and this is where I left off.



1shot 1hole group @ 200 yds. (amazing how that works)



100 yds. w/200 yd. zero.


Now if the wind will keep blowing about 15 mph, S/SE, it should do fine for the pigs I chase.

JAPMF,
