My Son and his new SMR Timberline 260

[406precision]

Well I have to do a little bragging on my oldest son Trystan he did his own load work (under supervision) and even bore sighted his new rifle himself here are the results.....pretty **** proud of him!!!!
A big shout out goes to Snowy Mountain Rifles and Vortex optics pretty bas *** set-up. If your looking for quality optics or a new custom rifle I can't recommend a better fit.

Thanks for the replies I just noticed he wrote .265 instead of .264 dang that makes it 407 oh well still a proud moment!!!

That is some nice shooting. You should be proud.

Noticed on your target pic that his load is with H4831. Tell him to try H4350. You will likely achieve better velocity results.

Pretty cool. But what the heck was he aiming atto maintain a sub 1/2 moa group? I see no target on the paper.

The paper is folded in half for the photo he was aiming at a black 3/4 inch dot in the middle of the page. It was initial load development after a 25 yard bore sight he impacted 4 inches high and two inches left.

Nice! Heck of a group. Congratulations

My boy is 9 years (be 10 in September) and I just built him a custom 6.5x55 Swedish Mauser based on a stainless Howa action. Figured I'd get him familiar to the rifle and used to the recoil before he turns 12 and hits the field to harvest game. Can't wait to get him hunting
