338 Lapua 600 yard fun
« on: July 22, 2012, 10:51:19 PM »
Just switched Nightforce scopes on my Rbros built 338 Lapua, and even though we had a bit of wind going on, I figured I'd get a good 100 yard zero and then throw a few at 600 to see what the wind was doing to the 300 grain MK's. I dialed 2.9 MILs up and held center on the bull.
 With 4 rounds left, I fired for effect and got this nice little 3.75" group 3 tenths mil left, confirming my wind call precisely.


Old picture of the rifle, the 338 is in the back.

I do love the look of that rifle.  It's even set up the right way (lefty     :tup:)

Beautiful rifle!  How much does your 338 weigh?  Must of been a good day for 338s, I went with one of my sons today to the range with our 338 Lapua.  I love shooting that gun.
Disappointments are inevitable, misery is optional.
