An S Class rifle

[Landy Dave]

Here is what I hope to be shooting:

Its a Sako 75 Finnlight in 6.5x55 I just need to wind the mag down as it wears a 6-24x56 Fox scope.

That will do nicely!

Out of interest do you know what the bolt core diameter is or would you mind measuring it if you get a chance? I have been advised it is 16,0mm however I have a feeling it is a bit bigger than that.

I will have a look later.

Monopod?

wtfwtf

Well spotted! :lol:

Put it on to weigh the rifle and decided to leave it on. As I said on the S-Class website I don't have a problem with them because it's attached to the rifle and in any case I use it as a hand hold rather than a rear rest - but I'll leave to the "Technical Committee" to rule on the legality* or otherwise!


*I'm happy to rule in favour regarding Scotland!

ILLEGAL! :lol:

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

All I can say it didn't help on Tuesday - more bounce than a paddock full of kangaroos!

I hope to be shooting S class this year far oop north in Scotland , I have purchased a specialist piece of kit made just for this type of thing ------ a bog standard BRNO ZKK in .243.This I believe is the spirit of the S class discipline.It will be fitted with a Bushnell 3200 scope and whatever sling is handy ,maybe a bipod if I can be bothered buying one.If a gun is accurate and the driver does his/her best ,that's all that matters ,winning is an added extra.I believe that the cost should be capped ,you should shoot what would normally be shot and nothing exotic .

Waterford103, you'd be more than welcome.

My thoughts on the cost factor - http://sporting-class.com/wp/?p=79

I'm not going to begrudge someone shooting an expensive rifle - it's their money - just as long as it's legal. In any case, if I was feeling particularly malicious I would just shoot in the same detail as them - the muzzle blast from my rifle is something else! :55:

I have just checked and it is 16.0mm. I don't know if different models have different bolts?

Thanks for confirming that.
