Hi Rogman - I tried the Hornady vmax 40gn factory ammo when i first started with my sako 204 VLS (1:12) and couldnt get a decent group - now predominantly use handloaded 39 gn blitzkings over 2206H and get really small groups and excellent performance on foxes and roos(under permit)- happy to take h...

Great shootin again Bill K, and fantastic placegetter groups from JWSmith1959 and Hozz57. Unfortunately I didnt get my target in time to shoot it and get it back from downunder - it finally turned up in the last week of September just before I headed out bush for 10 days - probably due to covid slow...

Hi Skipper -still have not seen a target arrive here in Aus - too late now but thanks for the effort in including me - happy to have a go if I get the target but will not be able to get it back before deadline - If I do I will post up a photo for comparison Thanks and best wishes to all other compet...

Hi Skipper - haven't got my target yet down here in oz - prbably delayed due to less international traffic - hopefully get enough time to have a crack and get it back to you

cheers Hoppy

well done Skipper and all entrants - great to see some good numbers for the comp \ I have just got back home from an extended trip around northern aus that was affected by some covid closures so looking forward to getting back into shooting again - heading out to the clay target club on the weekend ...

good work skipper and others - look forward to the target - meanwhile time to load up some special shells and get them sorted into batches based on OAL - and get some more practice tonight on the foxes! Lamb prices have gone skyhigh lately and every fox shot is well worth it for that as well as the ...

Yep

Count me in if it goes ahead Skipper - same address as last comp - if you need it again please let me know
Cheers
Hoppy

Hi Bill K and others - I had a go at the last comp and would love to try again now that I have tuned up myself a bit on the 204( its me not the rifle!) would be good to see some others from down under and other countries have a go. There was no issue with getting the target mailed to south Australia...

Hi Dogbrain - I too have the Sako 85 VLS and it is a heck of a rifle with great accuracy for an off the shelf rifle - Mine is topped with a Zeiss Z6 2-12x50 with an illuinated reticle which gets a lot of use spotlighting for foxes - great rifle and scope and happy to pay the $$ for good gear that wi...

Thanks Bill and seasons greetings to you and all others reading Middle of summer down here in Australia so we are starting to worry about fires again - we are late lambing here on the farm so have been knocking off foxes and ravens with the 204 recently - just loaded up another batch os 39bk's last ...

Hi to all in this wierd covid affected year - hope you all have a decent xmas despite whatever restrictions may be in the way of a normal one. Not too bad here in Australia although the virus is still popping up around the country . I am just about to head out and bag some bunnies for the dogs with ...

Hi Shane - fellow Aus member from Adelaide hills south of Adelaide - I have a Sako VLS in 204 with Zeiss scope which I now use for foxes/hares and Kangaroo destruction under permit - it is now permissable to use a 204 under the COP for macropods in SA. This is a great calibre/cartridge and one shot ...

well done Bill K and triggerfingers - excellent results from some serious skills and experimentation. Also congrats to all others who had a go and to Skipper for running the event. Hope to have another go and get some targets looking like the one above!! Have just loaded up some 32 SBK loads with di...

I finally found a break today to have a go at the target - nice calm conditions but I was in a bit of a rush and shot the 15 straight up with no practice and corrected point of aim after first and second bull - shot bottom left target then bottom right and finished on centre target with a flier outs...
