Im taking the Tikka, the NF, and the 139 scenars out this weekend and will see about putting together an official entry for this. Excellent. I was hoping you were going to join in on all the fun I'll shoot this challenge Saturday, have 22 rounds for the little Swede left, I'll fire a couple foulers, then let her rip, i hit it with Wipeout after season this year.

Unless it can survive being heaved onto rocks several times, not just dropped, it's a POS.

LOL, no step for a stepper, sure it will survive, I've read it here a million times, it's a "fixed/fu-k super-chicken!" BTW, nice shooting buddy.

Not really: 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. 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!

Road to our range is damn ice skating rink. You guys in the lower 48 lucky too have nice ranges
Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

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!!!
