Size:  82.8 KB This has been my dream rifle in the making for awhile now, finished off the load development and sighted it in today after mounting the VX6. Super happy with the results, shots were taken at 100 yards from bi-pod as I wanted to sight it in as it would be shot in the field. Just want to add how impressed I am with the T-MOA reticle in the Leupold. Really allows for precise aiming.

    Tidy older Ruger M77 in classic 7x57 Mauser (or .257 Rigby if you prefer).
    Delighted to have it in the collection!

    Nice set up! How do you find the element scope? Have been looking at these. Do u find the reticle fine enough? Clicks solid ect..? Im not a fan of a thick reticle, the one on my Nikon is too thick for my liking.

    Well it's fair hosing down outside so no pretty backdrop but finally picked this up from the gunsmith today after buying it back off @hillclima thanks for looking after her till I came to my senses bud

    Most of you know this rifle but for those who don't here's the specs.

    Sako a7 chambered in 270wsm
    Finnlight 24" fluted barrel
    Fluted bolt (gunworks)
    Stug carbon fiber stock
    Javelin bipod with flush mount bedded into the fore
    Maniatis carbon Magnum suppressor
    Contessa 20moa rail
    Contessa 1" rings
    Currently wearing a nikon monarch 4-16×44 but I have something new enroute from Oz (more about that later)
    This rifle is a beast and best 3 shot group with my hand loads is .27"
    Would also Iike to acknowledge a few good bastards on here that made this build possible. @Ryan_Songhurst @stug
    Zach from North Canterbury Gunsmithing
    And the good buggers at Gunworks

    Real guns start with the number 3 or bigger and make two holes, one in and one out

    Sako M-28 Nagant

    Built on a Hex receiver from the 1800's. Bit of a rare bird, bore is shiny so should be a good shooter.

    That's even better than an M28 - that is an M28-30. The best Mosin of them all!

    Should have a true .308 bore made for Lapua 185grn D46 or D47 projectiles.

    In longrange riflery, trajectory is the pure science part. Gravity is a constant for our purposes.
    Wind is in the art department.
    Light is pure fucking voodoo.

    It is certainly a " Delux Garbage Rod".

    Didn't the m28/30 upgrade have strengthening bars added to the nose cap? I thought the M28 was the standard nosecap like in the photos.
