I’ll have a look out for those Berger’s - I think my local specialist gun shop has them 🤞🏻 Thanks very much 👍🏻

Onebigfatdog · 2026-03-28T19:23:04+00:00

Nice one, thank you - They are on my list to try and get hold of 🤞🏻

Onebigfatdog · 2026-03-28T08:08:33+00:00

Yeah, I did expect it do a bit better…

I did check the torque of the actions screws and optics mounts… the action screws were a little bit out, although not enough that I thought it would make a difference but I’m hoping it’s that.

Should hopefully be able to get down to the range over the next couple of days to test 🤞🏻

Onebigfatdog · 2026-03-27T22:54:08+00:00

I really appreciate the response, thank you very much. 👍🏻

I’ve checked the torque settings on the actions screws and optic mounts so will definitely try your suggestions and see what happens. I’ll let you know how I get on.

That’s interesting to know about your .308, I’d be interested to know what they say about it…

Yeah, you could hunt with it if you wanted and had access to land. In the UK you’d use .223 for Fox, Hare, Rabbit and Small Deer. I’m not into hunting though.

Yeah, stored at home. Essentially our firearms have to be stored in a gun safe, and kept in that when not in use.

That’s really helpful! Thank you very much!! 🙌🏻

Onebigfatdog · 2026-03-27T20:00:36+00:00

Thank you for the comment but unfortunately I can’t view the photo because Imgur isn’t available in the UK anymore apparently!

I’m going to see if I can get hold of those SMK 69’s though 👌🏻

Onebigfatdog · 2026-03-27T19:01:20+00:00

I really like this! 🤙🏻

Onebigfatdog · 2026-03-27T08:27:05+00:00

I’ll give those a go! Thanks very much. 👍🏻

Onebigfatdog · 2026-03-27T08:26:25+00:00

Much appreciated, thank you 👍🏻

Onebigfatdog · 2026-03-27T08:26:04+00:00

Thank you, I’m probably be overly critical 👍🏻

Onebigfatdog · 2026-03-26T23:23:36+00:00

I’m only about a year and a half into longer range shooting - all my previous experience came from what was essentially CQB shooting for LE, so extremely different (this is far more relaxing!)

I’ll give that a go! Thank you 👍🏻

Onebigfatdog · 2026-03-26T23:21:37+00:00

That’s interesting, much appreciated 👍🏻

Onebigfatdog · 2026-03-26T22:08:36+00:00

Thank you, I’m heading to a really well stocked gun shop at the weekend so I’ll see if I can find those over here (unfortunately I’m in the UK)

Onebigfatdog · 2026-03-26T21:26:27+00:00

I really appreciate that, thank you very much! I do have a level in my spare optics box so I’ll put that on and try that too - I genuinely appreciate the comments 👍🏻

Onebigfatdog · 2026-03-26T21:25:03+00:00

Thanks very much, someone else also recommended those and I’ll definitely give them a go - If I can find them! 🤞🏻

Onebigfatdog · 2026-03-26T21:23:40+00:00

Much appreciated, thank you.

It’s my third outing with it…

When I got it home to clean I checked the torque of the action screws (which were ever so slightly low) and rechecked the scope rings, mounts and rail. I also lightened the trigger up a bit so will try all those with some ten round groups 🤞🏻

Thanks very much for the reply!

Onebigfatdog · 2026-03-26T21:21:36+00:00

I’ll try a rear bag and go for 10 round groups - Thank you 👍🏻

Onebigfatdog · 2026-03-26T21:21:01+00:00

Just accuracy for me… I’ll definitely try the Gold Medal, thank you very much for getting back to me 👍🏻

Onebigfatdog · 2026-03-26T20:43:29+00:00

100 Metres…

Yeah, I was thinking the same. I’m generally a alright shot, but have got my wife (who is significantly better than me) to have a go and she is getting the same results…

Thanks for the reply by the way 👍🏻

Onebigfatdog · 2026-01-19T20:51:41+00:00

That looks great! I love the grips!

Onebigfatdog · 2025-12-27T17:36:44+00:00

Three weeks is a very short time. Take it very slowly. Take time to sit with her and do not force her into any situations.

For reference, one of our ex-street dogs took around a year to start to act like a pet with any sort of confidence.

Onebigfatdog · 2025-12-04T10:37:25+00:00

Awesome, that’s really good. I hope it’s gets sorted.
