Wow, marty, that was the most accurate rifle in the world! Best wishes with your situation. |
I actually have a friend with a 6mm bench rest rifle who edged me out when we shot together. But then he weigh-sorts and neck turns his brass, etc etc and I use factory Nosler custom brass, fire-formed and neck sized. Still, I didn't do too bad for a stock, unmodified rifle. He has a couple grand into his setup.
Always wanted to take this rifle to a bench rest match just to see if I could finish higher than last place, with a stock off-the-shelf rifle. Too far to travel and never quite had the time. Not sure that the .204 could hold its own vs 6mm if the wind was variable. I did give my friend a run for his money that day, though.
