Gotta be happy with 46.2!
Good stuff... load a few more up to confirm.
What distance are you shooting the groups? Hope you've found somewhere to shoot 100yd by now.

Hav you been to ANZAC at Malabar SHV? They’ve got 50, 100, 200 and 300m (on varying weekends).

looks like 46.2 is the ok, this is a hunting rifle, the barrel is not free floating, external hammer lever gun, it is takedown version, trigger is heavy, later will put Leupold VX-III 1.5-5x20 or Leuopold FX-II 2.5X20 or just use the iron sight, so the accuracy should be kind of ok I reckon...

Nice one shv. Good looking stick and the blr are a cracker. The 1.5-5 x20 sounds about perfect. If I wasn’t in love with my 7600 one of these would be in the safe!
Cheers

only few ammo left, did some 3 shot groups
the first one is not too bad for hunting I reckon others similar but not as good as the first one

I be happy with that.
On aside you will find the scope will be lacking in poor light.

this BLR with Leupold VXIII 1.5-5x20 is my daytime rifle
the SAKO A7 with S&B zenith 3-12x50 is my nighttime rifle

looks like speer 130 varmint with 46.7-47gr 2208 will be good point and same POI with other projectiles, round nose 150gr will leave for WIN94 30-30

Holding zero? My cousin got a 308 Laminate takedown BLR and it's trouble, he reckons he's ditching it under warranty for a speedline. 1.5thou of slop between the receiver and fore end he says.

[sungazer]

Not sure exactly where you mean but 0.04mm between stock and action I wouldn't call slop.
