Took the rifle out today and shoot 2, 5 round groups (10 shots total). Blackhills remanufactured 55gr FMJ

and 52gr JHP reloads I got with the rifle almost 20 years ago.

I make no claims of being a precision marksmen, in fact as usual I left the range feeling like I let the rifle down. The purpose of the exercise was just to demonstrate the potential of the gun. This is not a best of, this is 100% of the rounds fired at a measured distance of 100 yards.

is this slotted for stripper clips ?

 

[David Rose]

I know it was built to use with stripper clips. I'm not sure how that works, it's had the scope on it as long as I've owned it. It was used in matches where loading from stripper clips was required.
