Thanks AI and Shane

Post by macca »

Awhile back I bought AI's 6mm dasher smithed by Shane.I had to sell a bit of gear to buy this rifle but I think it will be well worth it.
I haven't had much chance to use it due to some illness in the family,moving jobs and a hell of a workload lately.
Today i got out and did some work with her.

The group measured 0.337" centre to centre.
Not a big deal normally but this was at 200 yards.It did some more from .4 to .7 in a little gusty wind.
We will give her ago at 600 yards next Saturday and a 1000yards on the Sunday.Hope the load holds up at the longer distance as I was limited with how far I could shoot today due to my new location surrounded by neighbours.
So a big thanks to AI for selling this rifle and kudos to Shane for getting it so right.It is smooth and tracks well and just plain shoots at these distances. :D

Macca,

I was shocked to say the least when AI said he was selling his BR guns to fund car project!

It is a relief it went to someone who can do it justice!

That is a impressive group Macca!

Mate

About time you got it out and had a crack!! I think you will be very surprised at what it can do... at all ranges!!! I have a couple of groups that are super small... would be the most accurate rifle I have owned to date!!

Now make me proud!!!!!
