That looks superb. Grant has done a great job for you. How does it shoot?

All the best for 2024.

I wish someone would do a nice tactical stock for the Sako 75 

Perhaps they have read Nathan Foster's books and thought better of it.

I've swapped all my calibres to  Redding Full Length Type S dies + Redding competition shell holders, to give 2 thou shoulder bump. 

I have been using a separate mandrel on the necks, after FLS, but recently tried Redding carbide button in the FLS dies, and I can't measure a change to run-out 

I use Wilson seating dies, which I love as it can use them on the firing point.  I used to use shims, but treated myself to micrometer tops, but it's only a convenience

I anneal every time, with an AMP

I do neck turn for my precision rifles:  One 'cos the chamber demands it,.  One, just a light skim 'cos I can'.  I can't prove it makes a difference in the latter.

 I use an industrial ultrasound machine:  cost the same as a branded 'shooting' one, but does MUCH better job, and ut hasn't blown-up a day after the warrantee period 

I do uniform primer pockets & deburr flash-holes, even on Lapua brass..... but I don't have data to say it's worth doing , and Erik Cortina was saying it's not worth it.  I assume he has data to back up that assertion

And finally I recently bought an ARC 3-way trimmer via Wildcat, which is defo never going back.  Sooooo much better that Lee or Wilson predecessors

I have segregated cases into 1-2gr batches, but I can't detect a PoI shift for the light vs heavy ones; so this is prob a a waste of time

All that you are missing then is an AMP press - was one on your list to Santa?

Whatever scope you go with, try and have a serious look through it before you buy. I've used SFP scopes for over 50 years and have currently settled on Swarovski Z6/Z6i for stalking with BHR reticles. 

For the MOA Challenge that I shot last year, I was using a SFP March scope with a MOA reticle. 

Oddly, I find myself using FFP on both .22s. A Mil scope for PRS 22 and a Zeiss scope for .22 long range (FCSB). 

It's horses for courses I think and changing scopes is slightly easier than changing rifles.

I have recently upgraded my CZ457 MTR rail to a 30 MOA inclined rail, so this REED CZ457 11mm Standard Rail 0MOA Picatinny Rail is surplus to requirements. I've owned the rail just over a year and it's been very lightly used.

I shoot my .22 LR at 200 yards sometimes at Shoot N C targets and the holes are visible, when I hit the target.

Excellent kit. I can't wait to try my one out.

So for competitive shooters, we sign that we load within manufacturers limits of charge therefore pressure?

Perhaps, but with chronographs like the Xero becoming available, I expect to see in shoot velocity checks being performed. In an ideal world I would chronograph every shot that I fire.

The next step will be attending a training course.

I bought this scope new some time ago from Optics Warehouse and in recent times it has sat on a .22LR. I don't think the sun shade has ever been out of the box, let alone out of the house. The Spuhr mounts are a recent purchase.
