I was at Sig Yesterday. New shooter there was hitting at 1000 with a Dicks Sporting Goods special BDL varmint and a Sig scope, think he said it was a Tango6. He was using 168 FGMM which we all know and have been told can not go past trans sonic without flying wildly into the ether. And all his brass extracted despite the untimed extraction of all Remington bolts.


I was trying to use my high speed Thuls data book. Pace of course was moving too fast with only 6 shooters to get everything logged the way I wanted to.

Sorry to say this.....but......My Kestrel from Cameraland and the Bushnell ConX range finder were a great asset.

Probably last thing you want to hear is more gear, more money to spend.

Glad to hear it! I’ve got a Kestrel but trying to get a good zero on this rifle and dust off my fundamentals... I’m sure a lot of people could do better with less but I’ll run into a wall until I get through it. I guess that’s the Marine in me lol

Looks good.

You to will get to know one another.

Accuracy usually gets better as a barrel seasons in.
