My .204 w/ pic

Post by scott_r »

Well I just got back this little gun from the smith yesterday and mounted a new scope on it.I had the trigger reworked to a crisp 1.5 lb. Barrel free floated and action bedded. I needed a new extracor as well the old one failed. I also through on a new Vortex 6.5-20x44 which is outstanding for the price, I like it as much as my Leupold Mark 4.
The rifle shot a solid .5 Moa prior to the work and hope to get some of the results I see you guys shooting on the forum here. :D
Saskatchewan is calling for a major gopher problem this year and Ive got he "Cure" :wtg:

Cheers!!

Nice Northern stick!

Better be buying ammo or components...as they are, well, "drying up" would be an understatement.

How do the BK's compare to the V-max in terms of accuracy? Ive got lots of 32 gr. V-Max and 32 gr. Nosler BT's, hopefully they will shoot well.

Hi Scott,Ive had good luck with the 32 gr vmax in front of 26.5 gr Benchmark,Federal 205s,COAL of 2.265.With the blitzs,Im using 27.5 gr Benchmark,seems like the blitzs shoot better at higher velocities than the vmaxs.I have some 39 gr blitzs Ive yet to try,seems like a lot of guys here really like them,Matt
