I would look at the Barrett Fieldcraft at 5.2lbs. I believe they make one in a 30-06. I have one in 6.5 cm with Leupold vx5hd and it’s at 6.12lbs all up. They have great accuracy. 3/4 moa 5 shot groups with everything I’ve shot.
My new 6.5 24in ctr barrel is getting 2730 with 140 Hornady American Gunner. ES is around 35 but the accuracy with this cheap ammo is pretty remarkable. First two groups out of the gun where .25 moa at 100... not sure if I stretch it out really far how it will do with such a big ES spread but...
Looking for a lightweight scope for my Barrett Fieldcraft 6.5cm. Sportsman is closing them out at $399. I went and looked at them today. I was very impressed with optic clarity. It looks like I can reset the turret if I decide to dial (most likely will...
I would save money and go with the 2-10!! Especially if only shooting out to 300 yards. I was hitting 18in steel plate at 800 yards with my 2-10. It’s the not the best for extended range (600+) but hitting vitals 300 will be easy. That scope is extremely bright and very easy to get behind.
Loving the krg bravo in my brand new Tikka CTR 6.5. I attached the acra rail and spigot Mount. Oh and the tikkas shoot lights out with American Gunner 140’s. Shots 2,3,4 and 5,6,7 after initial bore sight at 100 yards.
Well hot damn these tikka’s can shoot. Just got my 6.5 CTR out of Cali 10 day jail and immediately put it into a KRG Bravo. I topped it with an Athlon BTR 4.5-27. I only had time to bore sight and shoot 7 shots (daddy duties with kids). I was hoping the Hornady American Gunner would work in this...
So I’ve got a serious problem. I started load development with RL 33 and 195. I started at 85gr-87.4. I started seeing pressure around 87.1gr. My best consistent loads were at 85.2 with avg speeds 3050... gun was shooting great for 50 rounds... fast forward to resizing and loading same powder...
What Cerakote have people done with the Sako Green stock? I’m wanting to Cerakote the action and maybe barrel but would love to see some ideas. I’ve got a brand new ctr non stainless.
Well it’s it time to part with my first pair of alpha glass. These binos were used for one year. I bought them from swfa sample list three years ago and fell into a pair of swaro el 10x42 that battled with these zeiss. To be perfectly honest these Zeiss were brighter and had a brighter sweet...
I just went through what you are asking. I went with 24in ctr 6.5cm ($810). Krg bravo with spigot and Acra upgrades two 10rd mags ($815). I’ll sell the factory btm and mag. The money left over will be for factory ammo. From everything I’ve researched the accuracy is about equal. After I shoot...
Looking for a lightweight scope for my Barrett Fieldcraft 6.5cm. Sportsman is closing them out at $399. I went and looked at them today. I was very impressed with optic clarity. It looks like I can reset the turret if I decide to dial (most likely will just use the reticle 95% of the time). Have...
