sir-slots-alot Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 Hi Chaps. I have been using my 17 Rem quite abit lately and getting more confident with as a long ( ish) range calibre. So I headed for the hills on Saturday , to put my Tikka 595 17 rem through its paces at long range. Eased myself in with a spot of 300 yrd shooting at 5 inch and 2 inch steel plates. Other than having to pay careful attention to the wind - every shot was rewarded with the immediate sound of of copper on steel. With confidence high - I put some targets out at over 500 yards ( 515 yrds to be exact ) Video'd the event - as is the custom in these parts (Watch on big screen mode) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qecNYE-sj9E .....

Redfox Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 Nice going, a good indication of the 17s ability if you know it. Redfox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alled12 Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 Nice shooting. What weight of bullet are you using? Its not a 17 but my 20 is going to get a bit of run out at that distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alycidon Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 Poor baby bunny, someone left a couple of ballons up for my party and they got busted !! Bloody good shooting, the stick shot was exceptional especially as there seemed a bit of wind if the remanants of the ballons are anything to go by,.

sir-slots-alot Posted October 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 Thanks for the comments chaps. The tricky bit is reading the wind with these tiny little bullets. ATB Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sir-slots-alot Posted October 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 Hi Flix, Yes they are a loverly little rifle. The wind was gusting from 6 to 9 mph.... Nothing too serious , but it made it challanging anyway. ATB Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
