I tried out some of my new reloads today. I went down to my wifes Uncles range , I shot these off off his bench with just some old pillows. Id like to see what this gun will do on a good rest.
Sako L579 .308 Caliber with Shillen Barrel. These were shot at 50 yards. I think Ill go with the 42 grains of 4064, but both loads shot pretty good. Im sure the gun can shoot better than I can.

    Pa- Ya got good taste. Didn't know you had a "Socko".A few years ago I built an '06 on an AV action with a McGowen tapered octagon bbl with intregal sight ramp. Fagen AAA wood and steel classic buttplate. Five shots, one hole. Love it-Bob

    That's good shooting for "Church" folk[;)], but I know Sako's shoot better than that, is the stock loose or touching the barrel?

    Will Shillen, barrel and Action if you sent them one? I have a Savage 110 (long) action that I would like to chamber 300 win or 30-338 or would that be practical?

    Yep, they will. Check the website, it'll give you a ballpark cost. I'm sending that new CZ Mauser action to them next month to get a heavy barrel installed (chambered for 6mm of course[;)]). Figure on 500-600 bucks

    Thanks KJ I was going to send it back to savage But after seeing how many bechrest guys are using the (Shillen & lilja) barrels I thought I would ask. So few actions. and too many dream projects.

    Hangfire- I just bought the CZ action only, its a virgin receiver that hasn't ever been barreled.

    FrancF- Yep, they're worth the money. When this 6mm gets finished in a few months I'm betting "Church" attendance is going to drop sharply[:D]

    pabooger: heres something to try for a gunrest:
    find a new "car jack" (newer model cars), the one shaped like an "x" with a bolt through it. mount it to a base, put a knob on the side....finni! only gives you up-down adjustment. place a protective pad on top also.[;)]
