I’ve posted these before I think but here are two of my Coopers. Jackson Game 220 Swift on the left and Varmint 223 AI on right.

Here are some “groups” that they shot

CZ 527V 223 Rem. 65 Sierra GK SBT 25grs Varget

My 2nd 20 Vartarg build. Bought a used 204 Ruger barrel and re-chambered for the Vartarg. Glass bedded the action and a bit of the barrel. It doesn't like 39 gr. bullets, maybe because of the 1-12 twist, but it wants to put the Hornady 32 gr. V Max into one hole! I was in a hurry when I chambered it, as I wanted to take it on a prairie dog hunt, and didn't index the barrel markings, so at the present it looks a bit strange. Doesn't affect the accuracy though, that's a 5 shot 100 yard group.

Absolute beauty, very nice Sako. I've always loved that Sako flared fore end. If Sako and the Nesika varmint rifle ever had a baby it might look that good

Is your shooting bench a BR PIVOT?
I always wanted one.
How do you like it , is it steady?

Not NM Ultra, but I'll wager it is indeed a BRP shown with a modified seat.

As far as steady, I've shot PD's out to just past 800 yards off mine in MT. The shooter's own weight preloads the entire assembly getting it as solid as a fixed bench. I'll call that 'steady'. Every group I've posted here on AS was shot from my BRP if that says anything.

So, waiting for NM Ultra to chime in to see if he agrees.......

Yes, it's a gen1 - This was the first outing with it. I chose not to use the stock seat, during garage testing I didn't find a height that was comfortable for my knees in relation to the table height. There's a folding blind chair in the bed. I clamped a 2x2 to the top to brace the bipod against, which worked well. The rear bag height wasn't quite right, so I shot with my right elbow holding the back of the table steady. All in all I was happy. Back out in 2 weeks for another go at that town...
