338 Lapua rifle and groups
« on: February 14, 2012, 10:33:12 AM »
a 3-shot group shot at 600 yards with my R-Bros built 338 Lapua.
300 grain MK's at 2725 with a 27" Rock on a Phoenix action.
Shot prone of Harris bipod and rear bag.

 The 338 is the back rifle

You beat me to it, h20hunter.  I was going to say those things shoot pretty well but it looks like something's wrong with the bolt...it's all twisted to the wrong side of the rifle.

Very nice rifle(s).

Don't ya know, there's a discount on those left hand women's rifles. :chuckle: :chuckle: Almost shoots as good as Gabe's, Benchmark builds a hell of a .338 barrel also. :tup: Dial that in a bit more and it will really shoot. :IBCOOL: I see the fresh bullet splash marks on the fresh paint low in the cropped pic, looks like two more low? 5 shots, closest 3?

I would take 1/2 MOA at 600 yards any day. :tup:

I can't wait for my 7mm rem mag from Travis.

Here is a 3-shot group with the same loads/ rifle combo at 100 yards.

Those groups are getting better, being near the point of aim. Never saw much sense in guys posting group pictures nowhere near the point of aim. Sure the rifle may shoot but if the driver/pilot can't put it on the money what good is it? :tup:

I don't think a Groundhog would be around long enough to debate Mil or 1/4 minute.

Great looking LG's and nice group.  Hoping to be a part of your shoot this summer.  Missed out last year due to other gunning commitments.
