Indians For Guns

To all those proponents of the 180 grain
And those die hard supporters of the 220 grain
Including the advocates of the 150 grain
And acknowledging supporters of the 110 grain
Not leaving out the hyper velocities of the 55 grain

To all and any I have missed

A HAPPY 30-06 Today.
Blaser R 93, 3 shots, 30/06/14

That's some nice shooting,Skeetshot.

Great shooting there, Skeetshot! And happy 30/06 to you too!

On a side note, Any range near Delhi? I've been looking to shoot but haven't found any.

Hi Skeetshot,
> You touched a soft spot in my heart
> 30.06 has always been my favorite caliber....Owned a Winchester Model 1917 sportarized + 4 X Weaver Scope with a Griffen & Howe Mount!!!
> 110gr, 150gr both Silver tipped / 180gr, 220gr Soft nosed - I have shot them all!
> My favorite was the 180gr Soft nose - provided me table meat on many occassions
> Hats off to your shooting skills - Nice group

Same ammo, 2 shots,IOF rifle, shot on 30/06/14

Clearly the IOF beat the Blaser

SS, rifle ranges in Delhi for big bore are limited to Army ranges such as the Nicholsen Range, Delhi Cantt and Kadarpur, CISF range at Kadarpur, Gurgaon -- you need to speak to the Commandant, little difficult initially, but generally allowed, and once you establish yourself, generally smooth sailing.

Hi skeetshot,
> Your IOF 30.06 looks great...
> If I'm not mistaken - have you got the stock replaced from the original - if so very well made
> Could you provide some details about the scope you have mounted on it?

Nice shooting skeetshot! The sai.jpg image looks really super, great furniture.

Re your second target - I think the IOF maybe politically, leans a little to the Right of Center!?

Both weapons are zeroed for a different load

We found a box of this match ammo mostly used for the Big Bore competition and wanted to see how it shoots

That's an intelligent one.

Ah - thanks Vikram - I knew that would not escape you!

Clearly the IOF beat the Blaser

skeetshot sure does sir - almost on the dot thrice - wow!

I am guessing this was 50 yards?
How are the aftermarket iron sights on the IOF grouping? Any photos of groups using the iron sights?
Any off hand shooting?

At the point of redundancy...you are some shot sir.

That group made my day.

With its 1:10 twist in the IOF and 1:11 twist in the Blaser, the 165 grain bullet gives ideal velocities and accuracies in the 30-06.

Add to that the forgiving ogive of the S & B match bullet, great accuracy can be expected.

Yet, great accuracy is first a function of a great barrel, and these groups are a testimony of the IOF barrel quality

The IOF rifle belongs to a friend who shot the group and was himself amazed by the rifle - catridge combination.

good shooting!
