Faux Swedish M41B CMP vintage sniper match rifle....updated w/range report

[Mustang]

Hell Steve, shoot the one that shoots good!

QFT!

That scope base you mounted is laser straight. A few months ago I shot this group@100 yards with the rifle.

The windage of the two groups that I shot last weekend @200 and 300 yards was dead on and required not one click of adjustment to the windage knob to keep them centered.

I made another trip to Sac Valley earlier this week for some 200 and 300 yard shooting. I changed my 6.5x55 load slightly and got a somewhat better result.

The shot down at 5 o'clock was a pulled shot. I knew it was off and where it it was going to hit before looking at the target. For reasons not entirely clear to me, the group shifted about 1/2 MOA to the left with the new load.

@ 300 yards, group size 2.4" (not including the pulled shot)



I adjusted the scope and later in the day, shot this group, also at 300 yards. By then the wind had picked up and there was a breeze from left-to-right. I think that accounts for some of the horizontal dispersion. The last two shots are the ones just off the reactive target.

@ 300 yards, group size 2.7"
