Wheeler Rifle--Bart's 105 Hammers shine @ Dasher DOME

[birdog]

After working 5 days straight of 16 hours per day restoring Nashville’s power outages from the snow storm, Junebug came to the DOME today to unwind. He brought over a glued and screwed Bat drop port 6 BRAI smithed by Alex Wheeler. It was loaded with BART’s 105 Hammers.
We shot three groups at 800 yds. Bart Sauter should be all smiles. Bug shot a 1.75 and 2.00 inch group and I chipped in with a 2.75 “ perfect waterline group.

Why is the scope mounted so high on the 6.5?

Free recoil shooting. The only thing you touch on the gun is the trigger when you let the shot go.

The Viper came with a Davidson / Kelbly type rail. I switch scopes from rifle to rifle. So I put a Picatinney adapter rail on top of the Davidson rail to keep all my rifles fitted with the same standard Picatinney rail. I like scopes mounted high so I don't have to tilt my neck over so far. Helps on extended shooting sessions.
