[QUOTE="Beardedboar, post: 723595, member: 56431"] Well I was able to get out this past Friday and try out my new Sako 995 with an Abrams Tank 32" Benchmark Barrel. [IMG]http://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-snc6/283289_314717341970318_1906714155_n.jpg[/IMG] First the negative, [LIST] [*]My scope rings are less than idea, so Mark at [URL="http://chesebrorifles.com"]Chesebro Rifles[/URL] is going to be ordering me a new set. Ones with the Sako locking tab on them. The ones he had on had were just temporary. [*]Next the recoil obviously on a gun like that jumps you off target big time, so back into the shop for a muzzle break. [*]All I had was factory Remington ammo, still waiting on my 7mm RM dies and 180gr Berger bullets [/LIST] The Good stuff gun) [LIST] [*]Having the guy who built the rifle help spot and sight you in was awesome, Mark definitely helped the process and explained everything to me. [*]Even though I was only able to shoot out to 300yrds (hardly long range) I was able to get my gun doing some decent groups and at least got a feel for the gun. [*]I was able to see what the gun needed and even though I only picked it up that morning I gave it back to him to tinker with a little more. We were able to see how the gun jumped and will install a muzzle break accordingly. [/list] I am beside myself with the new gun and I can not wait to finally get it back again and put some real ammo in it and shoot some real distances. But that is in a week or two. Here is a pic of mark shooting his BSA .22 K Hornet at 300yrds [IMG]http://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/302800_314737201968332_104517212_n.jpg[/IMG] Shoot Straight and long, Tony aka The Bearded Boar [/QUOTE]
