[quote=Shooter71]Never mind, that went south too. Where to go, where to go........../quote]


What's it say when you can't begin complimenting someone's shooting (who really deserved it), and the thread still goes south?

Let's try to get this back on track.

Robert,

Great shooting, I don't give a [bleep] what anyone say's about your rest or technique.

Any day on the range shooting small groups is a good day.

Personally that Rock BR 1000 is a POS in the BR world, been trying to unload that thing for about 2 days after I bought it for a 100 bucks on close out, you want it, 75 bucks with bag you pay shipping. Got a bald eagle I paid 139.00 for that’s 10 times the rest but in the BR world it ain’t [bleep]. BR world them 8-900 dollar joy sticks and them 950 dollar 22 LR rests for ARA are the schnizzel.
Kinda reminds me of a guy that entered a factory rifle score match action, stock and trigger had to be factory. Problem was he shot the match with a 2 1/2” wide piece of delrin on the swivel stud that fit his bag on the rest. Couldn’t understand why it was protested and went against him.

Unofficial results

Average of two ten shot groups

1. Robertham1 .537"
2. Certifiable .676"
3. m1919 .682"
4. m1919 .734"
5. Higbean .971"
6. BSA 1.08"
7. BSA 1.236"
8. TWR 1.325"
9. Brett Mc 1.445"

I think he’s mocking pudding...

Maybe we should be shooting 3 shot groups

Or move to California....

Move to California? Nah, I've already lived there. Down by Bishop... Now back to the thread. I switched out my pos sand bags and went with the old faithful front rest and rear bag that I'm so used to. It did in fact make a little difference. Still breaking in this barrel. I'll keep using this load to fireform my brass too. It's working adequately for that:

Rifle: Savage 12FV 6.5 creedmoor, SWFA SS 16x scope, load data on target:

Sorry about the crappy cell phone pic. It's the rifle on the left

Target pic:

.892 MOA AVG.

Picture of 100 yard range. You guys have seen this one before. Sun was in a bad position...:


I was actually at the range today to make sure my A17 is ready for tomorrow's rimfire shoot. I only plan on shooting that one in the offhand event, as I have a more accurate 93R17 for the bench shoot. Here's how she does at 50 yards off the bench though. Not too shabby for a 17HMR rimfire semi auto:

I should be able to hold a 99 with this rifle in the offhand event. I hope!!

Good shooting BSA, and DAMNIT! I knew this would happen, been watching some young bucks pester does up in the North pasture in the light rain this morning, guess what I saw at 588 yards overseeing the activities? YUP, you guessed it, what looked to be about a good heavy 20" 11 point, he's got a hell of a lot bigger brothers/daddy around here, it may be after rifle season before I can shoot the 20 outta my Mashburn Super.

Were rifle season open, I'd have already had him caped and at the butcher this morning, how do you guys feel about target shooting in close proximity to where you hunt?

At our range we sometimes see deer watching us but they've never been shot at there.

On our steel range which is on a buddy's deer hunting property, I won't shoot there till after season.

Deer don't mind normal activity but as soon as you change something, they tend to shy away. Especially the smart ones.

Yep, Thanks TWR, I best wait till after season, or on the other hand, if I was a poacher I could just tag out today!

Of course our youth gun season is coming up pretty quick, borrow a young'n and help him out at crunch time....

Nice shooting bsa. Looks like you are getting that thing dialed in nicely.

Thanks buddy. It will take a little time. I was wondering today, how once fired brass is going to perform. I may even try some benchrest primers, just for the hell of it. I have 150 rounds down the tube now. Brass is tumbling as we speak.

LOL, that would work too.

Anybody else been shooting or are you all sitting on the couch playing fortenight? We all know TWR is working on his 3 shot groups... Probably right now as we speak.. At least Rost, is probably sitting on the couch dry firing his AR at the TV screen while his grandkids are playing fortenight.. But he's getting some trigger time in... How about the rest of you guys? I'm going elk hunting in 6 days. Won't be shooting much until after then. Might not even shoot during the hunt, knowing my luck...

Top 10 anyway. Looking good guys.. Let's see some more entries... All the talk about those new Bergara rifles, you'd think there would be more in the top 10....

Where are you heading for the elk hunt?

About 40 miles south of my house.

Good thread guys. I'm wondering where all those "moa ALL day long" rifles are. Remington 700's, bergaras, tikka. Come on let's see them. I went out and bought a cheap azzed Steven's 200, just to prove it doesn't have to be expensive to shoot good. We'll see how she does..

Bsa, is that 6.5 going on the Elk trip? Good luck to ya...

I know a few others heading out shortly to do the same. Some 6.5s, 06s, and an 08' in tow.
