I'm stalking tomorrow & as the action had been out of the stock & the scope has been off I headed to Bisley at Braidwood to test it. Saw this thread just before I left which prompted me to conduct my own test, which I'd been meaning to do for ages. Rifle is a Sako 75 with a S&B 6x42 held in place by the standard Opti-locks & the scope was removed & replaced between each shot & tightened by hand as I don't have the correct torx bit for my torque wrench. The inner circle equates to 1 1/8" so the group is less than 3/4" & the higher shot was the first one from a clean barrel. I'd have been perfectly happy with that group with the scope being untouched, never mind on & off the rifle 3 times; I'm very impressed indeed. Sako 100g .243 Gameheads.
