Hey Gunner, you'll get a kick out of this one. I know you've had your fair share of accidents, but as a general rule, I try to avoid them at all costs... Well today, I got to test my SWFA SS 16x like Formid and stick does. Did the ol RTZ test from off the bench... Damn barrel heavy Savage... shocked Any bets as to whether the SWFA survived??? Anyone? grin I shot these groups before my Savage decided to take a nose dive off the bench. Luckily I had these 20 shots on target before that happened...:

The ocular was hit as well, and now it is loose and wiggles. When moving it, I can see a 5 moa shift in movement downrange. I love the scope, it was definitely "my bad". If some think it's a chitty scope, that is their opinion.

Well thank You Sir, and many Thanks for posting the pics. smile

The rifle is built on an 09 DWM 98 Mauser action, barrel is a Shilen I bought off MidwayUSA, finished at 26", my 'Smith is an old retired Mil/Sheriff/SWAT/Sniper guy that LOVES Mausers, he went all out on this build, stock is a pillar bedded and floated Bansner with a 14" LOP, lapped and bedded Talley lightweights, scope is a 300 dollar Cameraland special, Minox ZA-5 2.10x40 with standard duplex reticle, Timney trigger breaks at 1lb.

I named this rifle 'ladybug' for the shape of the three shot groups it provides with no wind, with these gotdamn 10 shot groups i'll have to rename her 'fuzzy fuggin caterpillar' ; ]

Thanks again friend, it was a blast!

Nice shooting my friend. I like how you are zeroed up on that red dot. Hitting it damn near every time. Ill take a 1 moa all day long rifle like that any day of the week. You know, back in the day (lets say a century ago, to be more exact), benchrest competitors used what they called a "string length" to measure group size, and it was measured with one end of a string placed at the center of the bullseye and the other end to each bullet hole. Each string length was added up and that was your "string length" score. This was way back in the day when hitting what you were aiming at was important. Again, good shooting!!!
