ovenpaa,

I was seriously thinking about entering if my house move was complete.

Would I embarrass myself with a factory CZ550 Varmint chambered in 0.308?

I think that S&L 6.5-284 of yours with the Kahles K312 3-12x scope is something special so there's no don't doubt in my mind that you'll be competitive.

I should've bought that rifle when I had the chance! ;)

Is that the CZ you shot the McQueens with, if so you need have no concerns and I seem to remember you scored higher on the day than I did.

The S&L is rather special and is the first rifle I look at when I open the cabinet, I though it was a bargain especially coming with the Apel rings fitted, the Kahles was probably even more of a bargain, put them together and it is a stunning combination.

So, see you there? 8-)

Thanks ovenpaa but unfortunately I shot the McQueens with my CZ527 Varmint chambered in .223!

That day on Short Siberia was very enjoyable despite the inclement weather!

I seem to shoot quite well with the .223 but I tend to struggle a little with the 0.308 at 500-600 yards if there's a breeze. I'm not particularly confident with my wind reading ability. I shoot OK but not great. Well, certainly not as good as I'd like.

That's one of the reasons I'm trying to put in more range time with the 0.308.

I really enjoyed that day despite the rain and my leaky army surplus raincoat. "Surplus for a reason" was the comment I got when I complained :lol:

I threatened, a few years ago, to shoot 'F' class with my number five.

Next year, perhaps I will!

That, Sir, is a plan.

The gin pennant will be hoisted over the quarterdeck on Phoenix Saturday 1900.
