Still got that 416 Rigby @Kiwi Greg?
better recoil pad than mine too.
Me and mate took turns sighting it in but they were only fire forming loads so only pushing 2000ish I reckon.
Chronied the 340's and startingish load was mid 2500's. That's about 5000ftlbs.
I looked up the Gibbs and they are getting close to 6000 so that's a definite jump. @Kiwi Greg what sort of loads you running?
The rifle's not new but got a new scope last week thanks to @Huntn. Attachment 88485 Got it mounted and sighted in and went back up to the range this morning.
Here is the resulting group from a clean cold barrel at 360m

The extra photo is from th 6.5x55 at 360m can't seem to remove it though lol
1st dibs if you ever want to sell it Zeb.
Ruger No1 With a PacNor 6x47 Lapua. I bought the walnut so long ago I cant remember who/how much I paid for it.

This is with the first load that I have tried. 87grn Vmax. Be nice if it gets better with a bit of tinkering but if it will consistently do this im quite ok with it. the dots are 13mm.

@Dreamer Nice group but what about the leg shot:XD:
You beat me to the scope too - must be getting old!
Yeah baby - service rifle optic that can be dialed for both windage and elevation
Just in time for this weekends Wairarapa shoot :thumbsup:
