[QUOTE="JCohen, post: 1001236, member: 29843"] [IMG]http://imgur.com/haydfXf[/IMG] [url]http://imgur.com/haydfXf[/url] My Sako A7 in 7mm Rem Mag With tuned hand loads, it'll shoot 3 shot groups into ½" at 175yd. If I've not had coffee that day.. My best accuracy has been with Berger 168gr VLD-Hunting bullets, Norma brass, Federal 210 Match primers (not usual 215M), and Retumbo powder. Right around 2995 FPS (5 FPS velocity spread). Look up Brian Litz use of 210M primers in 300 Win Mag - don't take my word for it. According to my gunsmith, the barrel steel is very hard. Took a bit for him to thread the muzzle brake on. Only weakness from the factory is a marginal stock. Sling screw pulled out on first hunting trip. Muzzle brake on it makes it kick like a .223, to me. Above rifle is a Sako A7 7mm Rem Mag, McMillan A5 stock, Nightforce NXS MOAR 8-32x56, 20 MOA rail, JP Rifles muzzle brake, Accushot Monopod & bipod, and Accuracy International biathlon sling (not shown - two shoulder straps, worn like a daypack).
