1000 meters check!

markg · #1 09-19-2018, 06:45 PM

AS some of you may know I have been chasing a very specific shooting goal. I have been trying to make a hit at 1000m for about 2 years. Well today was the day!!! I started at 700M and got a nice sub moa 3 shot group. I painted the target and moved it to the 1000m mark. I went back to my shooting position and fired 3 shots. I hit on 2 of them !!!! whooot!!! I drove down repainted the target and decided to send 5 more. I hit on 4 out of the 5. SO 6 out of 8 total. During the 5 shot group the wind dropped right down and I fired 3 in fairly rapid succession. I got a 4 inch stinking group!!!!!! I was so happy I couldnt believe it. I am a pretty proud shooter today. Mission acomplished.

Great work. Practice. Persistence. I think each goal we set starts to enter the realm of reality when we start to feel comfortable.

Good job mark, nothing like seeing those first hits at distance.

A well planted rifle and low winds sure help.

I just got my 3rd rifle hitting the 1000 m yesterday day, then pizz poor results on the 1500 today. Ha

Oh well, my other 2 units are dialed in, then I'll get this new rig sorted next spring,,, both of my main shooters will get the big work overs as I change out a barrel on 1, then build my first M40a1 rifle out of the second unit,,, Ha.

Nothing like having the A1, a3, and a5,,, kinda like having triplets.

Awesome job brother, good times come one step at a time.

Are the A1 A3 and A5 Mcmillian stocks on your rifles?

Don't you just love it when things come together.

Thanks for the link to Red Stat Mark, I'll definitely look them up. That is one nice looking stock fore sure.

I had Criss from MCRS stocks in Calgary build me a extra long F Class stock last year, he added a few extras inches out front for the bypod since he makes each rifle stock from "blank stock" that he makes him self.

Choose the woods as he makes a stock with the colours you like, then he cuts the pistol-grip so a right or left handed person can shoot the rifle from either side which is a plus for me since I run off of either side when I'm shooting.

Yes, the first 2 rifles,,, A3 and A5 will be heavy. I'll follow the weight category when I build the A1 since it will be my go-to hunting and general plinking unit.

My friend is on board with this as we build him a rifle to. He's not a hunter, so I would guess that he'd choose the target shooting unit for his shooting needs.

The A3 & 5 will need a bit of weight to keep them planted,,, loooooong stiff fore-end with no flex, with 2 new optics on them.

Most likely the 6-24 scopes, I don't mind my 3.5-14 Vortex, but the 8" gong is challanging to see past the 1000 mark,,, very difficult at the 15 and 17 mark. This is where my Sightron comes in handy.
