A brisk 32 this morning, sidewalks & streets very icy. So... Loaded the Jeep, headed to the range.

Looks under 3/4" with potential for more! After this group, I took used it on the 400 yard gong. Shoots great!

I enjoyed these two accurate, no/low recoil rifles tremendously.

Awesome. A day at the range beats a day at work any day.

Awesome!!!! Looks like it shoots well! Light recoiling rifles are so much fun!
I fully agree!
I was able to hit beer bottles at 250 yds with an old Model 96 Swedish Mauser with open sights, for that simple reason.... little, or no recoil. The 6.5x55 round isn't punishing, and it shoots flat and is accurate.
Not as flat shooting, or as accurate as Guy's new rifle, especially over distances.
Guy got an exceptional deal!

I was on “Back Door” cleanup with a guy shooting the 6mm Creedmoor. The man is a professional predator controller for the Dept of Livestock in Montana. Was surprised how little fur damage it did on coyotes. I seen him roll one up at 435 yards.

Outstanding shooting Guy, it sure is fun shooting the little calibers and they have no recoil. I can't wait for that 1:8 twist 6 BR that is being built. I have not seen many of us shooting those .20 calibers, its sure a blast to shoot.

Danged bullets are too small to hold onto in order to get them in the cases.

HaHa, so true. Smallest I ever loaded was 6mm.
 
I know a .243 makes coyotes summersault when hit in the vitals! LOL

Even the tiny .224 50-55's are too small.. Been sticking to the 75+ ones lately... :lol:
