Not 10, and this is the best group I have ever shot, but I'm not above cherry picking.

I’ve got a couple from testing out some rifles and loads.

18 shot group rapid fire on a .223 Stainless Lite. I think I can get this trimmed down to 1.5 MOA. I need to remount a scope, then I’ll do a normal pace group for 30 shots and see where it comes up.

8 shots with the same gun at 328 yards at a normal pace. I ran out of ammo otherwise I would have sent 2 more.

Couple groups with the T1X 17HMR. There were 10 shots into the orange target which made that funny smiley face, but the bulk of the groups I shoot with that rifle look more like the white target.

Nice shooting.

Tell me about this rifle! I looked at those PSE stocks for a few years but never did pull the trigger on one. They seemed to be the only ones making an adjustable cheek piece in a lightweight rig
Well, I really like the stock. It's extremely stiff and light, ergonomics are good. The trigger reach is reasonable for a vertical grip style stock. Fit and finish are A+ and the turnaround time was 11 weeks from payment to receiving it. The price was brutal though. If I did it again I'd just do a bravo and use a lighter contour or suck it up. I think it was over 2000 cad all in with duties and shipping.

The barrel is a 308 18" 11.25tw varmint contour Bartlein 5r.
Sako optilock 30mm low ringmounts
Nxs 2.5-10x32 moar
Aics dbm

It's a switch barrel as well. I have 6.5cm and 223 barrels too. I had just swapped to the 308 barrel and without adjustment shot that group at 100yds. All the barrels weigh within an oz of each other and the entire rig is 9lbs.

Solid.

I’ve been sucking it up with a Bravo for a good while. It’s definitely doable… if the price was more comparable I’d definitely have tried the PSE too

Yeah I hear that. They just brought out a new carbon stock for the howa the 700 and now t3x which is even lighter. 1300 euros my ass though.

It had to be sub 10lbs with a heavier profile tube which is hard with an A5 style of stock, regardless of make. Didnt want a carbon barrel either. Hence the 18" length. Accuracy needed to be good and it is. I've done no load dev, just stuffed 45gr of varget in a small primer case with a 168gr speer. Only handload I've ever tried in it.

That being said I'm sorely tempted to try the rokstok with factory dbm and UM rings to lose another half lb...

Appreciate it - especially as an amateur who is looking to improve on the shooting front this year.

Bullet is the 75 ELD-M
Was shooting those today myself
Not bad in my rifle with varget same charge as you
It prefers the sierra 52gr by a long shot. 25gr varget. Been to 27 even. No improvement though

Just under a minute off bench with bipod the other day. I did delete one shot cause bipod moved when I shot. It can do better.

Finally got to the range unaccompanied. All tikka 6.5 creed, swfa 5-20 on 5x. 3 different bullets used, 130, 140, 143 elds. Still kicking myself over the 300 yard shot that landed left, I saw the wind switch and didn't hold it. Made a .6 moa difference in the group.
