Howdy,

Just got back from my impromtu range (behind a friends shed, 80 meters)) after sighting in the rifles boha built for me and man do they shoot! The 6.5x55´s smallest group was about 30mm (three shots) and that´s using Lapuas standard factory ammo. The 9.3x62 held it´s own with 40mm (also three shots) as the smallest using Sakos factory trainers.

With the right handloads they should be awesome.

cewe,

You obtained some pretty good results for the first range session. Those are a couple of very nice classic styled rifles. I wish you many happy days in the field with them. The only bad thing now, is other then a big bore, you don't really need another rifle.
Cool

Bigbullet,

I´ll keep this short as I´m just off to the range again (this time to practise on moving elk targets, something we´re required to do here).

I actually do have a big bore, a .416 Rigby built on a seventies Sako action. The stock is good but boha promised to make it better, more along the lines of the new ones. I also own a .375 H&H that I was thinking of selling until sierra2 posted info on it´s rarity (mod72 Mannlicher-Schonauer).

A .505 Gibbs...

Back from the range and quite satisfied -good balance, the trigger could be a touch lighter but that can be adjusted. Need to get in some more practise rounds though. yanks

cewe,
I'm glad they are shooting to your satisfaction but, even if they weren't so precise, their beauty would suffice Big Grin.
