Ya I know its just an excuse to post a photo of some groups. I had a great weekend of shooting. Did some 5 shot groups, some were pretty good others could have been better but I am happy with how I did over all. I always seem to get a really tight group then an outlier. I havent been streching things out to long range much this summer (no hits at 1000) but I hope to get my first hit at 1000m this fall.
I was shooting my 6.5 x 47 Lapua Tikka rifle using 123gr scenars and 36.5 grs of Varget.
I got the 123 scenars from Prophet River. You can also order directly from Hirsch Precision as they are the Lapua wholesaler for Canada. Price is about the same from both.
I am using a 30" MTU contour Krieger barrel with a 1/8 twist. Velocity is about 2950 ( according to my Labrader)
Using a Vortex Razor gen II 4.5 x 28 X 56 with the mil r retiticle
I'm doing the 30 cal thing up my way since the last time we chatted.
Hoping to get out to test the 6' steel gong.
My brother picked up a swing set stand at dump to hang it from.
Hopefully this week I can get it set up.
One problem is that all 3 of my long range rigs are 30 caliber. Guess I'll have to head down range to paint over the dents. Ha
You'll have a blast sorting out your new pipe.

You need to convert one of those 30 cal into a 6.5 of some kind. I think you would love the difference. I keep going back and forth on selling my 308 and converting it to another 6.5 of some kind.
Great Weekend of shooting lots of fun
