Agreed! Beautiful work, as always. I love the Mannlicher stock. On my shortlist. My "short list" isn't very short!  thanks guys, here is a picture of the polished & blued steel from above...I had wanted one of these for a long time  Damn you do nice Blueing work Casey. I still need to bring you that Remington 121...  _________________ Mr. Q wrote: so basically, if you have to smoke some asshole, make sure they become fertilizer and then Bounce? got it.

Had the scope off while the rifle was with the smith, he took the barrel offand the rail. My scope was still pretty much of zero when i did a quick sight in at 150yds, 60 clicks on the turret and I was hitting steel. Ill have to do it for real next time though.
At 550 yards, this is between 3 people shooting my rifle. One person missed only once. You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post. _________________ You can't comply your way out of tyranny. |

How about a little info on the Rifle and scope. 550 yards, that was some nice shooting.  _________________ Mr. Q wrote: so basically, if you have to smoke some asshole, make sure they become fertilizer and then Bounce? got it.

[/quote]It's a Remington 5r 24" barrel. Sierra match 168gr. Vortex Razor gen 2 4.5-27 My buddies son (12yo) hit steel on his first shot with some old LC match. Needless to say his chest was out the rest of the day lol.

I figured out how to get the hurky muzzle device off this thing: https://palmettostatearmory.com/psa-7-5 ... or-ch.html
Ordered a YHM extended device to replace it and just clear the hand guard. Also ordered a Halosun optic. _________________ Why does the Penguin in Batman sound like a duck? Because the eagle sounds like a hawk. |

Found out that the 22lr Ruger precision rimfire is extremely accurate. Even suppressed. Also found out that Aguila 22lr ammo can hold a pretty tight group.
Should have taken some pictures but was having too much fun shooting! _________________ Licensed/Bonded/Insured Hardwood Floor Installer/Finisher http://www.hardwoodfloorsnw.com/ |

If you're testing various loads, the rifle probably isn't really "zeroed" at all.
Nice shooting, Ron! Look at that 0.43 MOA . . . yee-ha!! _________________ Steve Benefactor Life Member, National Rifle Association Life Member, Second Amendment Foundation Patriot & Life Member, Gun Owners of America Life Member, Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms Legal Action Supporter, Firearms Policy Coalition Member, NAGR/NFGR Please support the organizations that support all of us.

With a 25 or 50 yard zero the impact would be slightly high as in the picture. I was trying to visualize .556 trajectory theory, and his zero distance helps me with that. _________________ It must be frustrating always being the smartest person in the room.-Jagerbomber35 Divided we fall. |

I was trying to visualize .556 trajectory theory, and his zero distance helps me with that. The zero changes every time I try a different weight bullet, different primer, different powder or powder weight. The point of aim means nothing until I find the recipe that groups well enough to load bulk ammo with. Then I can adjust the zero. The only thing that I'm concerned with at the moment are the size of the groups, not where the groups impact. That will come later. Thanks Steve! Now if I could just work up a load to get my 224 Valkyrie grouping like that!  |

Any idea on velocity with that Load?_________________ Mr. Q wrote: so basically, if you have to smoke some asshole, make sure they become fertilizer and then Bounce? got it.
