Took my new baby to the range today!!

Well today was the day for some action!
Finally time to put my Krieghoff Classic 8x57IRS to the test!

I have mounted a new scope so I was a bit worried we might had to regulate it. But to my surprise we only had to have the scope sighted in! Perfect!!

The first two shots with Norma Oryx 196 grains with 47 grains of N140 in Norma brass was just under an inch!!! Yippeeeeeee!!!!!

Also shot some factoryloads with the same bullets and coul hardly notice any difference!

I was so excited I forgot to take any pictures but finally remembered to have a Kodak moment at my last serie of the day!

Four fast shots at 80m looks like this:

The second shot was bit off but I am very very pleased with the shooting today!!

Regards

Thanks AzGuy!!

I was told it was a shooter but this was better than I could hope for!

So now IÂ´m thinking of getting a second set of barels for long range hunting! I know where to find an almost new one in .30R Blaser!

If the price is right I just might buy it!!
