Wow things are slow around here, so I figured well lets post up some things I have been working on.
I have a 6BR bench gun that I have been wanting to get out again and do some longer range shooting with. I have had a NF NXS 5.5x22 on it since I got it home from the smithy. I up until wednesday had shot less than 200 rounds thru it in the 3 years I have had it. Seems something else always gets in the way.
I went out wednesday with Sharkathmi, I had some new BR loads built up and he was trying to get the Savage I sold him shooting some different loads. I did some shooting with the BR at 100 yards, then I had 2 different loads left, I wanted to shoot them at 300 yards. The result of those 2-5 shot groups was a personal best for me. 1st group was just over 1-1/4" second one was just over 1". The problem I have is at 22x its hard to see an small aiming point at 300 yards. Its just not enough. I need more power, what to do?
So I took a Burris XTR 3x12 Tacticool off my RR Varminter, that honestly I have never liked. I traded it with 400 bucks cash for a very lightly used 8x32 NF BR model. Cash terms I have about 925 in this NF, course my old rings didnt have enough clearance, so back I went for a nice spendy set NF rings (I already had 20 MOA NF bases) its always something isnt it! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smiliesmack.gif I got everything mounted up to shoot today and the wind is blow'n about 30 out so I am waiting for a better day. I cant wait to try it again with this scope.
Now the only problem I have is, do I put the NXS on my Rock River that I dont shoot that much or at all, or....on my new to me Cooper Phoenix in 6mm Rem that you guys havnt seen yet!! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
Heres a quick pic or two of the reborn BR, you guys are going to have to wait for the Cooper pics. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
