I can't remember posting this - it's the first group I shot after doing my breakin on the new barrel that was put on this Sako to get her to the 9.3 pipe. ![[Linked Image]](http://www.hunt101.com/data/500/medium/P1010811.JPG)

Better sell it quick as it's clearly NG. I'll help you out with a $100 offer for it.
Had excellent luck with same bullet and 55gr of 3031.

I need to try the 286's JB's always talking about.
The 250's don't kick nearly as bad as I thought they would.

Oh, that's TERRIBLE. You missed the bullseye. Sell it.

You need some work, not a single shot struck center. Place the barrel over an anvil about half-way down and strike the top muzzle end with a sledge hammer a few hard licks. That should probably get your group down a tad so you can at least get a few bullets into the bullseye. Better luck next try.
Otherwise, OUTSTANDING!!

Here's pictures of the rifle from that day when I was cleaning it between rounds for the breakin of the barrel - per the smith who put it together. Sako 85 finnlight action, with a lilja barrel same twist rate as the stock CZ's, in a McMillan Edge stock with a 2.5-8x Leupold on top. ![[Linked Image]](http://www.hunt101.com/data/500/medium/P10108081.JPG) ![[Linked Image]](http://www.hunt101.com/data/500/medium/P10108091.JPG)

Spot,
That rifle looks cool and good luck with it. What was the 85 before the new tube?

270 finnlight.
So I've got it just incase I want to put it back, but that's pretty unlikely.
