At long last I got to test my new sako 85 s/s laminated varmint in 22-250 with a Leuplod VX3 6.5-20X LR scope using Winchester ballistic silvertips in 55gn.
As usual it was windy, with full value crosswinds from 20-25kph (and about 33c), not ideal but I couldnt resist giving a go.
The first and second group showed lateral dispersion of about 1- 1.25" , the third group was shot with the winds all over the place but still stayed inside 1inch , (the first 3 groups were not filmed during the shooting).
The last group was the best one...shot no. 1,3 and 4 went into 0.375" with the second shot being pulled :roll: .
All groups were shot at 100 yds in gusty crosswinds except for the last which I managed to find 5 second gaps of no wind between shots.
Some groups took up to 5 mins to shoot due to the wind....over all Im very happy with its performance now I gotta source some more ammo which they tell me is very scarce at the moment.
