not the best money can buy.

 

[colorado shooter]

Even more impressive. Shot using a cheap rest.

Hell, I thought Bob shot that group offhand. After all, it is a sillywet rifle he was using and he always says rests are for weiners.

About a month ago I fired this 6 shot group. I did my very best to break the trigger on the center of the 4" dia. painted spot. I drove down for a look and snapped this picture. I still smile every time I look at it.

45F sunny skies, dead calm conditions.
sheet steel target at 700 meters / 765 yards.
Rem 700 stainless SA with a Douglas 26" #6 SS in 7mm-08

Now that this thread is back on the front page.....

I fired this 3 shot group 30 minutes after the six shot group on the lower 3" right side spot. Same load. Three shots was enough as I was flirting with breaking the green flasher. Not to mention why spoil it.

Both groups very impressive.

How fast is that 175 grainer going? What's the twist?

 

[bobm]

I do not own a chronograph but my guess would be 2450-2475. I asked for a 9" twist when it was ordered.

 

[bobm]

These 175 Sierra's were old Santa Fe Springs, CA inventory with metal corner tattered boxes. I bought 15 boxes from a CA member here several years ago. I still have 9 boxes left. I bet (hope) that the barrel will shoot them well until they're all gone.

Good shootin!!

 

[hoz53]

NICE!!

You guys who can keep an accurate shot count on your rifle AND brass--- well ya just make me sick. Maybe if I'd do a little of that, my shooting would improve. jd

as much as i try i have not been able to keep shot counts on my barrels either and i sure wish i wuda. i know though none of them have the count this one of Bobs does inless its my 22 my mom and dad gave me when i was a teenager.

good shooting Bob

I like that 3 shot group better,
so you did this twice (2 small groups like that) on the same day?
Is that still with the 7/08?
(BTW, you definitely scored some good 175 Sierra's....

Cheap? I prefer the term.. inexpensive. I bought one of Midways rests when they first hit the market in the early 90's The blue paint had to go. It got stripped and powder coated fine sand black. I made the steel fine thread windage table. I place a small sand bag on the wide front bag for sporter width stocks.
