Offroad Gary Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 How are you finding the stock.?Stock is great.Heavy (5.2lbs), but lovely quality and fit. Shoots well of bipod and is rock steady on sticks for those shots when the grass/crops are up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offroad Gary Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 Had a play today in a gusty field, to check how rifle performed with the .25 cal jetz on and off. Shots 1-3, mod on, avoiding the gusts Shot 4, mod on, full gust circa 15mph Shots 5-6, mod off, avoiding gusts Shot 7, mod off, full gust. Shot off atlas bipod and no rear bag, 100m Its very quiet with the jetz, much better than the hardy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted December 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 Just get my head round this Gary Your using the 6.5 x 47 with a .257 mod…..with a .264 bullet.. Or are you using another calibre,,isn't quite clear in the post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or are you using another calibre,,isn't quite clear in the post. ASE do list the .25 cal as suitable for 6.5s. Very strange, was going to zero my new .260 the other day but thought it best to take the 6.5mm hardy rather than my .25 ASE also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listed on their site a suitable for 6.5x55 which i presume shoots longer (heavier) and wobblier bullets than mine does Exit hole in mod measures 7.68mm (lidl calipers) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted December 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 Well I'm glad my threading is true.. 5, 6 and 7 shot at middle target? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offroad Gary Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 Yep, i'd say 2cm high bang on with mod removed. Good enough if you need to get one off quickly (and loudly). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbal Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 Yep, closed my eyes when i first tried it!!! Listed on their site a suitable for 6.5x55 which i presume shoots longer (heavier) and wobblier bullets than mine does Exit hole in mod measures 7.68mm (lidl calipers) Just to add,the ASE site gives the maximum bullet diameter for the ".25" size mod as 6.7 mm- and a short list of recommended and 'reasonable' cartridges,though not comprehensive-easy to check,for all three mod styles. That is in line with "lidl" 7.68mm exit hole,giving about 1mm clearance,though ASE is probably the more reassuring. (it does not follow that the 6.5x55 fires wobblier bullets,though,or the 6.5M/S even wobblier ones !) ( ASE market three sizes "223","25" and "308",be advised by the detailed advice on their site. gbal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, jetz works very well although its a tad heavy, and the rifle is a bit like the long pool que now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, jetz works very well although its a tad heavy, and the rifle is a bit like the long pool que now! Hmmm....complex,I'd expect yaw to be reduced by fast spin rates...etc etc... I'd have worn eye protection too,but also trust that ASE know all about their 6.5x55 neighbour. More critical would be the mod fitting/threading. But it worked fine,end of! g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkabout Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 I see a couple of people have recommended Prohunters, I switched to them in my 6.5x47 and have 2 Fallow run on me. When we caught up with them both hits were near perfect but just zipped straight through. Has anybody else had this with them? I thought I might try something different, any recommendations?

Offroad Gary Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 Plastic tipped bullets work well, hornady do one with a red tip that is particularly effective. The only issue ive had with prohunters is overexpansion on roe (sub 30m chest shot, yes i do know how to stalk) and them loosing out to boat tail bullets on targets over 300m. 100 and 120gn nosler ballistic tips kill very quickly, im working up a load for my stiller to use the 100's on park deer. Shoiuld be very effective. If the fallow are running, aim a little higher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronin Posted December 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 Hate with a passion any "ballistic tipped bullet" Use solids for the last 5 years at least and always grounded the target with single shot.

Offroad Gary Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 Had to pull out all the stops to cull a troublesome whopper munti that had been stripping the bark from apple trees on the front lawn of one of my landowners. Stalked the wood where he lives a few times with no luck so decided to sit out of the wood and snipe him from a distance using the recently fitted nxs 8-32 np2dd. The plan worked. A well placed longish shot sorted him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
