Windy as heck but went shooting anyway....

[FOTIS]

And I am elated!

Went out with the 30-378 Accumark, the 450 Marlin GG and I decided to shoot the virgin......Sako finnwolf in 308 Win.

Making this quick and dirty here are the best results of the day.

Looks as if you were doping the wind correctly. Those are some fine groups--on a still day! That Finnwolf is a keeper, and the 450 is no slouch. One would expect the 30-378 to give good performance, and it didn't disappoint.

I have a hard time getting groups that nice on a calm day! Nicely done!

If the wind doesn't stop blowing by sat. I'm headed to the range also. A guy can only look at loaded bullets for so long before they have to be shot :lol:

Great shooting Fotis. I like that 165 load in the Finnwolf. Might have to give it a whirl. Your 450 is shooting well too. I just loaded up some 300's with RL7 in the 45-70. Looks like there should be some promise there. Although I haven't seen many inaccurate Guide Rifles.

Your 30-378, what a beast. Jeeze um crow is that thing fast. Scotty

Awesome shooting can't wait to load my brothers ar-10 and see what it will do.

 

[FOTIS]

Thanx fellas!

that 308 Sako rox!


Best lever ever!

That's pretty darn impressive there Fotis. They all are dialed in to hit a gnat at 100 yards!! Nicel load work, and shooting.

I bet if you shoot with the Cheyenne wind to your back, you could double your bullet velocity at 100 yards :lol:

 

[FOTIS]

Best bet... I will re verify again when
winds are lower.

especially with the 30-378 bee!

 

[longwinters]

Oh man! Would I love to have a Finnwolf in 308. If you sell it let me know as I know you tend to move things to make room for your frequent itches...
