Just checked my scoped Ace Target (24") 5.8Kg
That's with an Athlon Ares ETR UHD 4.5-30x56

Tac A1 (24") 6.3Kg
That's with a Sightron SIII 10-50x60 though!

Hello mate, and thanks for the precise feed back - for a modern chasis system that is on the lighter side, isnt it? And that is with some big scopes on it too, of course.

 

[phaedra]

No problem
I've not properly zeroed it yet, going to the 100m pipe range next Weds to do some load development.

I took the scope off and weighed it again, 4.48Kg

 

[Scipio]

Yep, I thought the big scopes would weigh a good bit. Good Shooting buddy!

Has anyone got the game version in a 7 rem mag? If so, how’s it going for them?

Bit late coming back to this but I finally managed to get to the 100yd pipe range last Wednesday!

Shot six 5 shot groups using 167 Scenars over N140 - 41,42 & 43gr and N150 - 42,43 & 44.8gr (which Viht data marks as their "accuracy load")

First 5 groups were all single ragged holes under 1/2" diameter, somewhat surprisingly the Viht "accuracy load" was terrible!, a small spread of about 1.25"

Unfortunately I forgot to pack the chrono so I'll hae to do some ladder testing with smaller powder weight jumps to get a better idea but it certainly looks promising so far.

Im looking forward to mine arriving in the future. What few 7mm prc that made it to the UK got snapped up.
Ordered start of September, GMK quoting January to April for delivery
