[QUOTE="Super Dave, post: 845852, member: 69554"] Hi, I would like to get some advice from you guys. I picked up a NOS Sako TRG-S (M995) with hopes of taking it on an elk hunt. [LIST] [*]The twist is 1 in 11 [*]The barrel length is about 23 inches [/LIST]I tested it out this past weekend and it didn't seem to group with the 180 & 165 grain factory loads. Thanks goodness, my buddy had some 150 grain and I got a decent group with them. All of the following groups were shot at 100 yards. [IMG]https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-UfTyuFVMJ8A/UiTiUCLo3JI/AAAAAAAADUY/nWyFvmSM4wI/s800/IMG_4248.JPG[/IMG] [LIST] [*]I had a solid support on the front and rear. [*]The scope is a new VX-6 3x18. [*]The Sako Optilock rings were installed per factory specs (proper inch pounds for various screws) and loc-tite where advised by Beretta USA. [*]The wind was 10 to 15 mph from the side and could change directions. [/LIST]Can you guys please share your thoughts with me based on what you see with these groups?Thanks, Dave [/QUOTE]
