Sightron scope and SK ammo

[jb77]

I just put a Sightron 3x9 Rimfire scope on my Ruger 10/22 and switched to some SK ammo. The scope is excellent, it has the fine crosshair for really fine work and the glass is outstanding for a 120.00 scope.

I ordered some SK Jagd ammunition at the same time I ordered the scope and I am impressed with it. It seems very well made and very consistent. This rifle has a Butler Creek carbon fiber wrapped barrel, and is more of a plinker. It was printing nice round groups at 40yds that a dime could cover. This is not as good as the rifle will shoot, I was hauling hay before I shot and the muscles were a little tired for fine motor skills.

The ammunition does have an oily coating that takes some getting used too and the powder has an unusual smell when fired.
I normally use Wolf Match but it is getting hard to find in my area and is very expensive when I can find it.

All in all a very nice bench session.

I'm pretty sure you will find sk jg ammo amd wolf to be the same. loaded by nanno. Aka lapua'''
The match and match extra are very similar.

You didn't say what flavor of SK you were shooting but SK standard + is my go-to ammo. I have shot three 3 round groups and one 5 round group at 100 yards measuring under an inch with this ammo in my Kimber SVT. I have shot some of their upper tier ammo and unless I was shooting BR, for my use, it is not worth the extra $$. I shoot it in all my silhouette guns. If you find you like the SK, Champions Shooters Supply has good supplies and prices.

I used to shoot SK Std+ before Wolf MatchTarget came on the market, and for all intents & purposes, I believe they're made to the same specs, just packaged in different boxes. Plenty good enough for practice & local smallbore match use out to 50yds. in my CMP 52D & 40X, as well as in an Anschutz 1611. I switch to Wolf Match Extra for 100yd. smallbore. I have a Sightron 24x target scope for the Anschutz, and have been happy with the way it performs.

I have an inexpensive Clerke .920" barrel on my 10-22 in a B&C Anschutz-style offhand stock, and Wolf MT shoots good enough out to 100yds. in it for RF silhouette matches.
