Well I could not wait to take her out so as soon as i got back home, I mounted a DIP scope rail and my mueller 8X32x44. I must say it is a sick looking rig. I went to the club and straight to the 50 yard range. Temperature was 88 degrees wind was blowing right to left about 5.5 miles per hour according to my kestrel wind meter. I only took one type of ammo. I used RWS Rifle Match with a 40gr bullet. Loaded up both mags and set her up on front and rear bags but I did not end up using a rear bag, and took my first shot. I was surprised that I was not that far off from dead center. Having taken the scope which was zeroed at 50 yards off of my P94s Varmint I was very impressed that the zero was just a few clicks off. I then proceed to shoot a few test shots and all seemed to be going well. I then started to really try and shoot some groups and man was I very happy with the results. This rifle just feels right in my hands, the ergos of the stock are just perfect for me. I wear large gloves and the palm swell and stippling are perfect, and once I adjusted the cheek piece I was able to get back on target very quickly. The trigger was just as I remembered it was on my Varmint very krisp and consistent feeling. One side note, I have heard some rumblings about the mueller's being hard to find your eye relief at high magnification. Well with this stock it was a breeze and I would come off of it and right back on it with no issues even at 32 power. Now I know y'all want to see some pictures so here you go. One five shot group and one 10 shot group. I think once I break her in and adjust the trigger a bit I should be able to do better.

I know you should never say never, but I will never sell this one!!! she is a keeper

My Sako Range shoots very nicely with Sk Standard +. Last range session a 7,90 mm c-c, 5 shot group at 50 m. Only had time to shoot one group with that rifle.
