  1. Well I put the first 30 rounds through the wildcat and I have to say it was very good being so lite I thought it would be a tad louder, it is of course not quite as good as the pez but the weight difference more than makes up for it. I also expected more muzzle flip but it seems to have tamed that too, my old sako was balanced to counter the weight of the pez which meant without it is got a fair muzzle flip but this new 85 is a lot better and the wildcat seems to match the rifle well. All in all I'm well happy.
  2. I have a job to do on Wednesday which will be this rife and mods first so will let you know what I think.
  3. I have been using my pez for 15 or 16 years so it's going to be nice to have something a tad lighter, the pez does a great job though.
  4. It's an evolution. I had a pet on the old Sako which weighed a ton
  5. Now that just goes to show you! Firstly federal will tell you that a twist rate of 1 in 12 won't stabilise a 55g nosler ballistic tip then N140 is not designed for lighter 223 rounds. Then you prove both wrong!!

    This is correct, the price has fluctuated since year one but has never been higher than 40,
  7. Hi all, just brought a wildcat to go on a Sako 85 223 anyone tell me there thoughts on this model.
  8. 23.5g of H335 with a hornady 55g sp. is my fav but i have a 1:12 twist.
  9. If you reset the parralax on a scope thats not adjustable you lose the nitrogen in the tube! bad plan.
  10. Well that was a long read, I dont know if its already been said, and i dont mean to be rude but it may not be the kit, any pics of your hmr groups? As has been said before use lower mag, at 100yrds I zero at about 6x mag, i use a very cheap Hawke reflex 3-9 x 50 which i brought off ebay for £25, i have broken too many expensive scopes!!. The home loads could be an issue but they are consistant, when you have a group that opens out like yours it is normally the shooter, it happens to us all, I have good days and bad days, i see your days are mostly bad!, practice dry firing learn your trigger
  11. I have an F1 chrony, if you hand load and are interested in what your turning out they are worth having. the manual figures are from test barrels in a factory and i find they are ...opertmistic to say the least.
  12. Very over estimated round in my opinion To expensive, to niosy and too little
  13. well i chrono mine and with a 50yrd zero they are low 4.9" at 250, but this is 55g with muz vel of 3210fps 3382 is proper top of the tree numbers, are you sure ??? how many shots did you avarage out to get to that number
  14. save your money and use it for a proper NV scope
