Took my A5 out the other week and made this 3-shot group at 800 from the back of my Tahoe. Second pic is a look back at the firing position, my vehicle is out side of the frame at left on the gravel path. Those were my last three rounds of the day. The ammo is a hand load (LC LR 07 case, 175 smk, 42.4g Varget, Remington 9 1/2 LRP).

Edit to add that elevation hold over was 7.8 mils; 7.6 is the correct hold as 7.8 was a bit high. Held .1 left.

Ended up getting a like new Premier for my A5 build. A5 is off getting assembled. I'm over sea now so I should be able to hopefully see it in April/May next year.

Been avoiding you people.

All those Marine STDs are no reason for fear but your Covid could knock me out of work for two weeks. I get Leprosyitic AIDS Gonorrhea Im rolling to work tomorrow but Covid? There goes my income.

Took the 40 to the range today.

Its zero'd for 175 FGMM with a 2 mil hold under. Today I was shooting 168s.

Wasnt sure what to expect.

Shouldnt have doubted her........

Toward the end it seemed the rounds were starting to float up and I had to hold a fat snow man with my mil dot being the low ball.

13/15 = 87% giving myself every benefit of broken glass and rounding. Ill take it.
 
Anyone know where I could find a m40a6 chassis (Remington racs)? Have all parts for the build minus chassis.
 
Nice A5 @Mongoose0311 ! I wasn't fortunate enough to have the PWS-P stamp done when mine was built at Quantico. That's the one piece that's missing on mine to be happy.

Shit should we throw Neidner mounted 1903/A5s in just to increase his length.....size matters.
