Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Rimfires Chesebro 1407R

Bud at work just got his 1407R so we took it out today for the first time. Its the stubby barreled rifle at the top of the photo.

We had good intentions of trying a bunch of ammo, but went to the Wolf pretty quick. It shot fair at 50y as the target shows. Couldn't get a 50y zero with uber-rail and 3-15x Chicken. Went with 100y instead. IIRC, he has a freckle over 40 mils leftover.

Wind messed with us, but settled down when shooting 492 yards. He needed 30.0 mils, I used 32.7 (50y zero on mine). He was spotting for me while I was trying to shoot a twig with his rifle. Miss, inch high. Miss, inch left. Boom, nailed it.

What a hoot!

Mine did equally as well, but reading the wind was a challenge without the fog. At the end, we were well within the 8" steel unless the wind kicked up. Not easy to steer with no windicator! A 2mph wind does a lot to a 40gr bullet starting at 1050 fps...
