First precision rifle *UPDATED WITH RANGE REPORT*
- Thread starter Fenix.NZ
- Start date
Alright as requested.. more pictures of the NZ dingo/swamp thing/jabberwocky
on alert: notice the large fangs.. a fearsome adversary
was a bloody nice day yesterday
and a few more of the rifle
And the cat !
some of you may notice a different scope perched atop my rifle now.. this is because the Leatherwood took a steaming dump on itself
sight picture went completely hazy ( looked like looking through fog ) at any magnification above 10x

Where's the big suppressor can?
And while we're on topic of the animals, get some of that fierce-looking cat of yours. Something for an "Icanhazcheezburgerz" type of portrait.

OK as promised.. range report for the Howa
not really a proper setup, was shot in a field, on my mates farm with the target ( hand draw ) paper clipped to a piece of plywood .. and to top it off 40-75km/h gusting winds ..
and on top of that ! i was using Barnaul 55gr soft point rounds.. these are steel case, quality is on par with, or slightly below Highland AX ammunition
BUT the rifle pleased me muchly .
the black marked holes are where i had an issue with scope rings coming loose ( ametuer hour )
red is sighting groups, and blue is groups i was trying for
this one was hard to see so ive highlighted it

That is a nice setup - I was going to say that you should get a Tikka blah blah but changed my mind. Those ranged indicators on the elevation - does it come from Leatherwood like that? Are they adjustable it is a neat idea.

they are adjustble, you can set them, theres 10 flags for setting elevations.
the leatherwood isnt on there anymore, ( added some other pics a page back )
its now wearing Falcon glass as the leatherwood sh!t the bed
its a neat idea but their quality let them down
