I refuse to shoot any ammo in my 762x39 Howa Thais not brass jacketed. Be careful as a buttload of ammo out there today in this caliber is only Brass Washed which means steel jacketed! Both the Ruger and Howa bores deserve to be spared steel as their bores are much more refined than AKs or other 762s.
So, I haven't been shooting in a long time other than blasting tin cans and that's been a couple years.
Well I tried this morning. Ran off and left the spotting scope. Then when I got there the concrete benches were hard and cold.
No rest, no bipod, no rolled up coat, nothing. Man I'm getting forgetful.
Then while trying to sight the thing in, I realized a Nikon with that BDC crap is a little tough to see the bull.
Anyways I had a pretty good time considering.
That Ruger's stock is about 3 or 4 inches too short. A slip on pad and a winter jacket may fix that good enough.
The gun overall worked just fine.
The group was not the greatest. But for wobbling on boney old elbows on cold concrete not a bad group.
15 shots covered by a 3x5 card.
Even so those would all hit a deer at a hundred yds.
Well I'll have a lead sled, bipod, sand bags or carpet roll by next time.View attachment 177353
I absolutely love mine, and see similar accuracy out of mine as well. However, if I let things get warm, my patterns seem to develop flyers, usually high and to the left. Any suggestions?
Some guys open up barrrl channel more since there is flex and fill voids with epoxy to stiffen it. I haven’t felt the need yet maybe when I start working up some handloads for hunting.
