Did Someone Order a Little Tree O’ Hate?

[Shanerbanner10]

Just put together a new rifle. Here’s the parts list-
Benchmark Barrel, 1:11, MTU, chambered in .308 Win Match by Paradigm Gunworx
Benchmark Barrel, 1:7.5, MTU, chambered in 6BRA (no turn Lapua .272 neck) also chambered by Paradigm Gunworx
Impact 737r action
TriggerTech Diamond with Flat shoe
Krg Gen 6 Folder
Cyke Pod
Spuhr 4601
Tangent Theta TT525p
Accuracy First level
Area 419 Sidewinder x2

Took it out to shoot for the first time today. Rounds 5-7 were .3”. At the end of the day rounds 78, 79, 80 shot the group pictured below.
Right before I shot this group I dropped the rifle right on the elevation turret... all 20.0 lbs of it on the elevation turret of a basically new Tangent Theta.
Undecided if I like the KRG. Need more time on it for sure. If I don’t keep it I’ll go back with ole’ trusty - T4a.

Ready for the kicker, it was all factory ammo. Shooting Berger 175 OTM factory ammo! Kestrel calculated them at 2720 fps. This thing wore out a little 3” plate at 560! I will be taking it to a mile soon.

The scope is obviously damaged send it to me for an evaluation Note this will take anywhere from 2 days to 15 years of course i will sned it back should everything check out. I will even pay shipping PM for address. Nice rifle looks like it will be just fine.

That’s not Red Castle in the background, is that fence up by the firehouse overlooking the Sika deer pens? ?

Nope this is S-SE. Near a river. Hoping to stretch it to a mile here real soon.

That thing’s going to be a musket @ 1mi. 600+ yds of sub flight is a loooooong way. Make sure it’s a big target.

Plenty of wild pigs down there, UKD movers and all. ?

How long is the 308 barrel?

 

[Bender]

Lies!! We all know .308 will only shoot 2” groups and only reach 200yards.....

I don't have a clue to be honest! I chambered it as long as I could.

mostly accurate! haha

We shall see. Smacked the heck outta a little 3" plate at 560. Let a 10 year old on the gun and he wore it out too.

I have 40 moa combined between the base and mount. I've got just under 26 mils I can dial. Shouldn't be too bad to get to a mile. Now wind and all that good stuff will be a different story.
First .308 I've shot in probably 4-5 years.

What do you guys think about pulling the sidewinder off this guy and putting an APA Chode on it and throwing the Sidewinder on my 6 BRA? lol
