Thread: Seriously underrated 6.5x47 Lapua

Tussock I do believe you have answered your own......query ??? in the last two lines..... for sure you can get away with a hell of a lot with a light recoiling heavy rifle.... try it with something that has a bit of boot and the results could be vastly different....YES there are alot of people out there who can shoot very well off a bipod without forend support BUT you can bet your bottom $$$$ thier rifles were sighted in this way and they have taken a bit of time to get that bipod in as stable a position as possible...not always an option in field conditions...I cant deny that in its place it works...but Im buggered if I can see how with a rushed shot in less than ideal conditions it can..to use your own exzample "left handed on your back twisted around a tree stump" now tell me how you are going to get a bipod rested on flat surface to allow the" return to battery" that we are talking about when saying follow through????

I'm not a beginner. I have owned and shit a few things, many of them hard booting. I don't mind, but I don't like the stock characteristics of this 7mm Rem Mag, I would usually avoid them. I'm going to leave it un-suppressed so I can maintain my ability to shoot uncomfortable things, not create it. Like I said, we will see how I go.

You seem to have missed the part where I said I DONT OWN A BIPOD!

While I actually have a box of them, I don't use them anymore. Getting the tension in the legs even on anything less than a perfect surface is a huge pain in the arse.

I also said that in the "left handed on your back twisted around a tree stump" I would expect the "return to battery". I said I would expect to make the shot, if I did all the other bits right.

What I am talking about is natural point of aim. I want the cross hairs to rest naturally on the target, while my body is completely relaxed and the only muscles with any tension at all are working the trigger.

As I understand it, you are trying to physically control the movement of the rifle under recoil. I would have liked to know if @Tentman intended to stop the 1/16" muzzle flip before the projectile left the barrel. If so, the laws of physics say he can't stop it completely. So can he reduce it. My question is, can he reduce it by exactly the same amount every time?

Guiding the rifle back to its starting point is one thing. Physically controlling the rifle to prevent it from moving to some degree is another.

How do you do this with no tension to be found anywhere in your body?

Casual reminder this place started with a few specific gripes. One of which was the obsessive tendency to keep threads on topic. No one could ever explain to me what the point of this was. Someone will pop in and put it back on topic, or it will drift into the apocalyptic heap of abandoned threads in the background. Someone will start another 6.5x47L thread.

The idea of forums is discussion. The "KEEP THE THREAD ON TOPIC" people can be seen to kill/damp down discussion as a matter of routine. You want threads to go off topic and get as many pages total as possible.

Forums are killed by: policing content as if you are creating some important database of critical information
Forums a double killed by: people doing what @gimp is doing. Fatigued senior/long term member telling the new members not to bother doing what they did for the last decade.

You are up to you necks in Tussock. If you want a strict set of rules ask admin for them, but they seem to have stuck with our initial plans, with great success.

I can assure you Mr Tussock...I control my rifle perfectly "fine n dandy peas n carrots" without excess tension,Im not having a wrestling match with the plurry thing,mearly holding it firmly by the natural way rifles have been held since the beginning of there use...why else do we have a forend if not to hold onto....LOL.

I was interested in Wingmans journey with the 6.5x47 Lapua. But all this BS about proper rifle hold, bi-pods bla bla bla has stuffed what otherwise would have been a good thread.
I,m gone.

I'm away for a few months and this place becomes A high school ! Then every melodramatic prick ending his posts with "I'm out" as if anyone cares. Where were you in?

What a bunch of princesses. Its not just how you like it so time for a dummy spit. I guess you guys see two conversations happening in one thread and you get all confused and angry. Too hard to tell the different topics apart. I understand.

I wonder how many guys are lurking instead of posting because of the plague of territorial half men on here?

I find that when I use a pull through it creates a lot less friction when I apply oil or some type of lube. Lubes is best.
