Sako A7 - 7mm Mag - Sighted In

Hi Guys

After all waiting from yesterday, finally went to the range and sighted in my new Sako A7.

As advised by members it had a slightly higher recoil than my old 6.55x55 shooting 140gr but loving it.

Grouping at 100 yards

Attachment 21276



Grouping at 200 yards

Attachment 21277



And the beauty itself

Attachment 21278




This week has been fairly nice and good to me.. Good things happened ie
1. I got my new rifle
2. Sighted it fairly quickly and good grouping
3. Made friends with a hunting buddy and we are heading out to the Tararuas for a day hunt on Saturday

Just hoping the week ends in the same way by giving me that one chance to get the Sako blooded..



Cheers

Good shooting!

Good to see the bi-pod on the right way ;)

I am not sure that VC would ever sound like me.

Great shooting. You'll like the 7mm mag, it is a great round. Now you just have to organise a tahr trip for the spring. Then you will really be able to stretch it's legs on some goats.

Good shooting mate, you'll have no trouble as long as you dont get 'buck fever'.......

Good shooting dude...but don't trust the ballistic plex at long range unless you've done the range work. They're not spot on unless you're zeroed at "x" distance with "x" projectile etc. And it's not just the verticle - even more so is the horizontal.

I always cringe when people hold over or use ballistic reticules at over 300yds. Even if its a goat or whatever, being gutshot or winged is not cool.
