3 day shoot.

[wadcutter]

Thought I would share a few photo's of a 3 day shoot I attended this week down here in Australia.
Lots of great rifles were shot out to a distance of 1250m in wet conditions.
The rain had some interesting effects on accuracy with more vertical than in dry conditions. When the rain eased up the accuracy of all rifles improved a lot.

Dave Arnberger from McMillan rifles in the USA was down here for the shoot and it was a thrill to meet him.

Barker Machine Works was in .408CT and was a dream to shoot. Very soft recoil and easy to spot your own shots.
Othere there were various McMillan Tac rifles in .338 Lapua and half a dozen Macs in .416 Barrett. A couple of Tubb 2000 rifles .308 and 6XC. A few custim rifles in .338 Edge and .338 Lapua, 6mmBR Stevens and a Sig Sauer .338 Lapua, Some LE guys had a Barrett semi auto .50 BMG. I think there were other rifles but the rain kept them in the cases unfortunately.

MTNHNTR,

That looks like the actual rifle that I shot!

BMT is giving me one in .375CT to play with for a while. I am really looking forward to that. They are very nice rifles, you have done a great job putting them together.
Thanks Norm
