apbuild Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 3no rounds of 123gr Sako ammunition at 100 yards shot through my Sako 75 stainless synthetic. The addition of the AUS5 moderator has certainly made a difference. I did notice that the exhaust gases around the crown of the moderator formed a nice concentric ring. Does this indicate that the moderator is in line with the bore or will this happen anyway? Cheers Rob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry d Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 Nice zero,I don`t think you need worry about the concentricity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 Is there something wrong with hitting the centre of the target? Just remember to clean the spent powder off of the crown and the mod, they will absorb moisture out the air and eat away at them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The AUS5 is stainless steel so I doubt it will corrode but I cleaned the gear thoroughly when I got back. Rob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just remember to clean the spent powder off of the crown and the mod, they will absorb moisture out the air and eat away at them. nothing wrong with it, but we work on not an ideal range, but an ideal range of ranges. For example i would like to know for certain that my bullet will fall in a 2" kill zone between 75yrds and 200 as these are the ranges i am most likely to encounter a fox and take a chest shot (2" being significantly smaller than a foxes kill zone) Zeroing 1" high provides this for me with my .223 and means i dont have to think too much about anything untill its over 200 yards away. Some like to shoot with a zero at the range they consider the most likely for them to encounter their quarry. This suits rimfire shooting alot better in my opinion as they have an awful trajectory.

apbuild Posted December 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 Exactly Nick. The 1'' high at 100 yards gives me 1'' low at 200yds if I shoot to point of aim. Zeroing this way allows me to hit a vital area of my quarry (normally deer species) without the technical calculations to vary between 100 and say 250 yards! I will also say that I am one of the lucky ones. My rifle was inherently accurate straight out of the box, and I quickly found that Sako factory ammo shoots like a dream through it! Rob.
