Good result Rod.
Great to get a report on the Rigby.
Life is too short to hunt with an ugly dog.

Mate, I'd love to get out bush with her but that is unlikely to happen until very late this year. But, I'll roll a couple of hundred cartridges for her and get to know her on the range. We'll be both pretty familiar with each other by the time she gets out bush. Hopefully a scrub bull and a few pigs in late November. But I've got limited leave and heaps to do.

Cheers
Rod

Well, I took the DSB to the range yesterday to confirm zero on the scope and to make a slight adjustment to the irons. She now sitting in the safe ready and waiting for a trip up North, hopefully.

Anyway here a a couple of photos:

I had to remove the scope from the mounts and ended up moving her a bit forward from where I originally had her. I think it's about right now.

Thought that it may affect zero slightly. I was wrong...there was a significant change to POI. A few rounds to adjust and then a quick 3 shot group with 300 RNSP Woodleighs pushed by 79 grains of 2209.

Nearly fell off the seat when I looked through the spotter. :whistle: :dance: :dance: So I decided to shoot 3 x 300 Woodleigh solids also with 79 grains of 2209. First one felt good and it was. So sat down and fired 2 more shots to complete the string of 3. Shots felt good but I it's obvious that I didn't do my part when building my position. Anyway. still very happy. Sights then moved 1 click up and 1 click right.

Then, the scope came off and I got to adjusting the irons. Set them at 50 yards and was very happy. So I thought I'd fire a few shots at 100 yards. First 2 and I was :D :dance: Then I thought I'll fire a third. :shifty: pulled it low right. Bugger so I fire a fourth, damn high, left. I must be getting soft as I mature. Just on 40 rounds down range over the bench and I'm developing a flinch. :oops: :oops: I was a bit pissed with my self and then I thought what the hell...thats good enough.

Looking good.

I thought I was developing a flinch with the 400gr RNSP with 82gr of 2209 but between the concussion off the bench I don't notice it anymore :lol:

A load like that is a bit like boxing, every blow kills some brain cells off.
I guess that's why the more you shoot it then the less you care about the boot :lol:
