foxing2night Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 My sako came back home to day (sako 75 6mm ppc) Just thought that it would be of interest to some of you lads that have been asking about pillar bedding Also i had an acuracy asset made for the front of the stock so that it would ride the bags a bit better???

foxing2night Posted October 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 Hi gents, The work was done by a mate of mine in scotland!!!! He reconds that it was a fecker of a job to as the sako 75 are a bit of a pain in the arse?? My gun will shoot in the one,s but now and again it will throw one bullet just out of group??? So i thought that this was the only thing that i could possibly do to try and get the most out of it??, now it sits on the bags a lot better and hopefully will not throw a bullet???? time will tell!!!! Ray them there bullets are allready loaded my mate and are ready to go as soon as i can get down the fields I just hope that i have not fecked up a good shooter I will let you know a.s.a.p how i get on All the best from wales darrel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 Lovely job Darrel, they are a pain to do and get as neat as that. The accuracy aid looks well sweet, ive a Sinclair one, but that of yours should track back no problem at all. Your mate isn't called Derek is he?

Ronin Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 Hi Darrel I hoped to be able to get to the Mqueens today at Diggle, but "family" pressure do not allow this. As for next weekend, well I will still be in Czeckslovakia, so again, I won't be there, sorry. It would be good to meet up and have a chat though, long time since i've spoken to D too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6mmBR Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 That bedding job seems to have worked. Great groups, I know what you mean its easy to spoil a group by getting a bit excited/ Cheers Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratwhiskers Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 Darrel. Very nice groups mate!!

craigyboy Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 That is some amazing grouping, that 10 shot group must really fill you with confidence, if your rifle can shoot so straight for 10 shots. PPC's just seem to be so accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ds1 Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 Very small world - I bought a Sako .22 Finnfire Range from Derek - Very nice bloke. Andy, you will be in the Czech Republic next weekend but only just as the Strelna range is on the Czech side of the Czech - Slovak border point; because the Slovaks did not want to build another set of custom points we pass through the border point but are still in the Czech Republic - makes perfect sense. You will have a paper so no plod / customs ask dumb questions though. David. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldie Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 Good mcqueens today chaps, big turnout, and lots of high scores, because it was very calm.The advantage my 6mmbr has over the .308,s was lost in the calm conditions, and i only managed a fifth with 94 ex 100. Darrel, i,ll be up next saturday for the practical rifle shindig on "b"range, as you guys are on "d" make yourself known buddy, and we,ll have a brew.

varminter Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 Hi darrel............. Looks like that bedding job done the trick for you matey!!! Them varmints wont be safe now!!!! :D Went to the range to check the grouping ability of those Nosler 85 grain SPS in my 6PPC ........... It measures 0.298 ( that with the 243 taken off ) and thats with a soft point hunting bullet , so as this load generates 1736FT LBS i cant wait to try it on some roe!!!!
