That's some big projectiles - and a bloody good grouping size. Ive seen some mark 5's advertised for insane $$ and then others really quite cheap...seems to be quite a spread on the mark 5's...not sure why, I know they are rated as quality firearms....
Ive had this howa 300 now shooting 2 shots touching and then I get all nervous like a school kid and screw the pooch - doesn't help that generally when Ive shot the two, ol Mr Tikka is spotting for me saying - don't screw this one....oooh was that a gust of wind...that's a great potential group...lol. Bastard he is.
