Dennis: I have had this rifle for about 5 years now, built on a Pre-war Model 70 with a Lilja barrel and jewel trigger.
I find this lash-up most suitable for PDs in a variety of environments. Last opportunity was shooting dogs to 250 yards in an 18 mph wind at Winner, SD last june.
Here is a picture of it when I was at the range checking zero for a trip to Montana. That 100 grain 6.5 Sierra Varmint bullet is terrific with H4895.

| Interesting thread, judging distance is tough, I liked what I read in a test on range finders once. At the end of the article the writer said he'd discovered good news and bad news. The bad news was he stunk at judging ranges, the good news was so did every one else! In response to the original question about yardage claims fact or fiction, go to some of the sites talking about the new .17 HMR, great round I love mine---BUT!!!!! Look at the ballistic coeffecient, run one over a chrono, do the math ,then read the claims of some of these guy's! 387 yards on a prarie dog---RIGHT!! In a vacuum ! The new .17 as fine as it is has created a whole new version of fiction we're talkin " Alice In Wonderland , With A Rimfire ". God bless imaginations, without em how would the inferior convince all the rest of us the're better than we are?---Shoot Safe---montdoug |
