Its fast!!
Killed many PDs and coyotes with it, Some at extended ranges. Coyotes drop in their tracks even if you get a bad shot. VELOCITY KILLS!!! If you havent killed coyotes using a rifle at these speeds you wouldnt understand. Some coyotes Ive watched the bullet split the hair before the recoil knocked the scope out of my eye. Its that fast!!
My son has killed many coyotes with this rifle and loves it.
One of my more spectacular shots on a turkey hit it in the head at 274 yds.
Since Ive had so many of these rifles I dont know what to do about pictures. The rifle that shot the groups above is this one.
Its a Savage VLP with a 14 twist Shilen. It seems that all of my 22-243 middlesteds shoot as well though. Only a little adjustment in the load and they are spectacular.
This one is a remington with a 14 twist Hart.
Killed lots of critters with it too. The stock is my own design and Joel reproduced it for me.
Heres a remington bull barrel with a 14 twist Shilen
A Rem700 with a 14 twist hart nestled into a Mcmillan HTG
A factory VLS punched out 22-250 thats been punched out to a 22-243Middlested and my own custom camo. I impressed my gunsmith with several 3/4" groups at 300yds with that rifle.
From right to left... 22-250rem / 22-250AI / 22-243 Middlested / 224 clark.
Since Ive been bitten by the wildcat bug Ive changed over to mostly Savage rifles so I can take advantage of the switchbarrel idea. Ive got many custom barrels setting here in many different twists. Im in the middle af building yet another 22-243 middlested right now but its a 26" Kreiger in 8 twist. Will see how it shoots in the neer future. Ive not had the best experiences with Kreiger barrels in the past and wanted to give them another chance. If it dont shoot to my expectations I will have another tomato stake for the garden and buy another Shilen ot hart to replace it.
Sorry to the guy who started this post. I didnt read the first page and didnt realize this was a target show n tell for spray-n-pray guns.
