varminter Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 One of my local farms has decided to re-rake a couple of very rough fields ready for re-seeding so i told the farmer i will be keeping a close eye on these fields from bunnies and crows!! So i thought tonight after work i shall park up at one of my favorite vantage points overlooking these fields.. Was chatting to Darrel on the phone when a Bunnie showed so after i finished chatting to Darrel i prepared for the shot!! Range was 390yds so i put in the necessary corrections and missed the bugger!! hit just left!! Waited for 15 minutes and he was out again with his buddie - So range was 391yds dialed in for corrections and bang slap!! Thats number 1 , his mate came out latter for a look at the same 391yds and got him too!!! I finished on a 340yds Bunnie , so all in all a very good evening All the best lads and hope to meet some of you at the game fair RAY.......................

craigyboy Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 the ppc strikes again. Gota say to ray that that sako is one of the nicest looking rifles ever made, love the stock and the action finish. I was for buying one myself but wanted a .204 and they didnt make it in it, when I build my 6.5-284 I will be building something very similar in looks.

Thanks for that craigyboy Yes its a shame that sako stopped making the 75 varmint in 6ppc!! My rifle has had a new krieger 23 inch / 1 in 12 twist / 270 neck barrel fitted by callum Ferguson ( a true gent ) ... I shall be doing a writeup on this rifle since its been done by callum later in the year!!! This rifle just loves 58 v-maxs and i have some deer legal 85 grain noslers i want to try on some roe too!!! I like my rifles to do triple duty - target / varmint and deer ( roe and fallow does).......... I see you have decided to go for the 6.5-284!! Should be ideal for the larger species and for long range target and varmint too!!! What kind of platform are you going to have your 6.5-284 based on??? Happy varminting................................. RAY............................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigyboy Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Ill be going for a light varmint type set-up, maybe a stiller predator action, ACI laminate sporter stock and a pac-nor barrel 22 inch, not sure what twist but probably want to shoot 140g bullets, I the same as you want a triple duty machine. I need to be able to walk with it, shoot big deer and if I feel like it for some fun hve a crack at shooting out to 1000 metres at my local MOD range. Hopefully the rifle wont come in at more than 10 lbs, probably put a swarovski 6-24 on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
