Guest stevo Posted August 28, 2018 Report Share Posted August 28, 2018 (edited) couple of weeks ago I posted that I had ordered a new SAKO black wolf in .243 . well the rifle turned up last week , along with the sound mod , however I had to wait for a new scope to come direct from the factory in Austria , which as It turned was sat but because of the weekend I had to wait till today , well I finally got all me kit together and managed to get out for a couple of hours and get it bedded in and scope sorted , and just a bit of a well earned play . Overall I have to say im over the moon with it , even with factory ammo it was still shooting one hole groups at 100 yards (1/4moa ) ?? so enough of the boring stuff , some pics of the kit now its finally put together https://www.dropbox.com/s/v0h6bribbug6pnf/Photo Aug 28%2C 3 59 37 PM.jpg?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/yed30vbb0i84qe8/Photo Aug 28%2C 3 52 09 PM.jpg?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/qxtsaphgo6g6erv/Photo Aug 28%2C 6 01 47 PM.jpg?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/atslklg1e8aqewr/Photo Aug 28%2C 6 01 36 PM.jpg?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/rklha888qrr0gtk/Photo Aug 28%2C 6 00 34 PM.jpg?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/9zwqdutc6rfe0b6/Photo Aug 28%2C 6 00 24 PM.jpg?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/9zwqdutc6rfe0b6/Photo Aug 28%2C 6 00 24 PM.jpg?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/atslklg1e8aqewr/Photo Aug 28%2C 6 01 36 PM.jpg?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/1b4c5bplquonlrs/Photo Aug 28%2C 3 53 12 PM.jpg?dl=0 GROUPING https://www.dropbox.com/s/sgy3ed28yxv3fnq/Photo Aug 28%2C 6 27 07 PM.jpg?dl=0 Bit of fun on the gongs ( made from ploughing discs looks like im gonna have to re think this ) left hand side 100 grn soft point @500 yards right side 70 grn Nosler ballistic tip @ 250 yrds https://www.dropbox.com/s/a6f7x7n8g5yv1gy/Photo Aug 28%2C 6 30 07 PM.jpg?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/vrev3akrsb4zwxg/Photo Aug 28%2C 6 13 12 PM.jpg?dl=0 the rifle is a Sako black wolf .243 stallion w110 sound mod sako optilock mounts Swarovski X5i 5 - 25x56 P 1/4 MOA Edited August 28, 2018 by stevo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest stevo Posted September 4, 2018 Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 (edited) 52 minutes ago, fister said: Interested to hear how the DTACS go in it. The one I had was a 270 and if it shoots well in that (it certainly did), it's got to be a fundamentally good rifle in my opinion as the 270 is a nasty ****** in most rifles ? That will have to wait until rebarelling , the 1:10 I have at the min I doubt will cut the mustard with the Amax let alone the DTAC So its may have to be a 1:8 twist , will deffo be going back down the Ackley Improved route though, if only for the improved case life . Looking forward to getting some reloads worked up for it , only had a couple of weeks and not really had chance to use it yet as I have been away since sat morning . Not back home till Friday .and yes my .270 sako 85 Hunter is a total knob to shoot without a mod Edited September 4, 2018 by stevo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
