Recent Rifle - Savage F/TR 308

[kfr01]

I'd love to see a picture of your WOA with the 26" Kreiger.

I agree with your analysis regarding the 6mm and 6.5mm; I like to shoot rounds that are a bit more standard.

Looks exactly like the one in black on he WOA website. Krieger or Wilson or any other stainless barrel looks the same in a photo. At the moment I'm simply using it on my service rifle lower. If I get serious with it I'll put on one of the WO adjustable stocks.

kfr01 - thought you might like to see some of the scores posted by the shooters in our two F-Class/Mid-range matches thus far this year.

As you can see, the match-rifle is the 'hot-ticket' in this area for these events.

Impressive! Work has been so busy lately that I haven't been able to get out there with the .308 at all this season.

One of the advantages of retirement. Shot our BPCR silhouette today. Great fun. Hope you get out soon.

YB-2. Finally got out today with a buddy of mine that has the same gun.

We had a great time. I brought a bunch of different kinds of ammo to test at 200yards. My gun seems to like the Black Hills 175gr (the center of the target shown in the pic is a string of 10 shots from the BH175).

It certainly seems to. Nice target. Hopefully, you'll get to try some longer-range shooting with it. Just the ticket for 600/1000yd. And, like your Sinclair bipod. Used one with my AR space-gun when shooting F/TR.

Do agree with your Savage choice. Just picked up a very nice Model 99EG in .300 Savage that was made in 1950. Should do a good job on those pesky deer.

YB-2: I'd love to see a pic of the Model 99EG.

Nice spot on the Sinclair bipod. That was my first time out with it, and I loved it! No more hopping around due to the Harris feet.

Yes, found the same thing with Sinclair compared to the stock Harris. Sinclair has upgraded it, again. At our last 600yd F-Class match (6/4) the winner shot a 599/44X. Some pretty stiff competition.

Here are a couple of pic's of the 99EG. As you can see (hopefully - my poor photo skills notwithstanding), is one of the upgraded models, 1950 vintage with good wood, checkering and machine turned bolt. Also have the Marbles tang sight, which is not mounted. Look out deer (if I do my part). Pardon the mess. Today's project to get my reloading bench squared-away and organized as need to load some 80gr SMKs for Sat's CMP leg match.

I don't get out to the range much these days, but the FTR makes it easy to have quick fun. Here are the results of a quick box at 200 yards.
