Groups shot at a club match, 50m from a home made benchrest and rear bag using Eley club ammo. Rifle is stock standard Model 2 made in 1983 without any modifications, it has a 6.5 - 20X Leupold scope mounted on it.
Lets face it. Im envious. But it is off the tail gate, not ideal and seemed to improve (more consistant) over about 20 rounds. Im sure a better shooter and decent bench would improve a tad.
Dropped into the LGS today and grabbed 2 bricks of RWS Club.
Will put a few more through her in a couple of weeks and see how she goes.
At the end of the day i only need to shoot bunnies soooo,,, I think it will be ok out to about 75 yards. On paper, at 75 yards looks like the club has just about run out of steam in any case.
I was tempted to sell it and buy a Ruger American but Ive had her a bloody long time. And the grandson has had a few shots through it, so would like to hand it on to him when its time.
