Re: precision rifles... show em
Hi All,
I've been out of the game for a while due to health problems.
Some years ago I sold my F-Class custom and all my precision reloading tools.
Shooting was very low on the agenda for some years. But after learning to cope with and adapt to my limitations as good as I could, shooting started to matter to me again. It still sucks big time that I can't do what I used to do, but the fun is back again.
So... last october I bought an AICS and a 700 Police.
You may remember the chassis from SH member "Flying Dutchman". He's a good friend of mine and when he got the new AX chassis, I bought his desert camo AICS.
The 700 only needs a brake and a tactical bolt knob. On top is a Sightron SIII SS 6-24X50 LR/MOA. I'm aware that it's somewhat of a budget scope, but I could not justify the money involved in getting a Schmidt & Bender or something else in that category. The package was getting expensive enough as it is. And it's purely for recreational shooting and some friendly matches on the side. All in all I'm very happy with the Sightron. Good positive clicks on the turrets, tracks as it should and it has very crisp glass that's sharp to the edges. The scope sits in a 30mm Spuhr mount. An incredibly beautiful piece of machined aluminium. The bi-pod is a short swivel Harris with pod-lock.
I took the rifle out for a spin only once since finishing setting it up. After zeroing the rifle, I shot 10rnds at a 100meters, resulting in a sub-moa group. I was pretty chuffed with myself. Especially after not having touched a rifle in over 3 years and shot with standard ammo.
Cheers, Nick.
Oh, and here are some photo's.
Here's all of the parts slapped together. I'll update this post when I have pictures of the painted barreled action.
Some fun with HDR...
