So what's the next plan, walk to nearest military base and give'em lessons on long range shooting - You Traitor

Hahaha....Exactly, this is why we (Prashant and I)went to Indian Military Academy in Doon but shooting range was closed that day.Otherwise i am going to start teaching them how to shoot 300+yards .

So Baljit, what are your personal opinions of the IOF .30-06 now?
Fit/Finish, ease of use, accuracy, etc.
Let us know.

His first reaction was:
"For the money you've spent. You could have got a much better weapon in the U.S. / Canada"

Xl, in my personal opinions for this IOF 3006,It's nice gun but few things ,like stock it's about one and half inch. short even with the one inch.thicker new recoil pad still about half inch.short.
Other thing is mag.lips very tight ,you have to use the force to put the rounds in the mag.

accuracy wise it's a good gun.After i zeroing the scope we fire three rounds,three rounds from three guy's( I,Corbett99 and last round fire by Prashant) all those three rounds in 1MOA at 100 yards which is really good with factory ammo.

Trigger is also adjustable. I notice Prashant's rifle came with just over three pound factory trigger pull which is really good . I don't think so he need lower then this trigger pull.

One thing i really don't like it is 11MM dovetail on the receiver, it's useless i don't know why they make it.

Over all i give them 8 out of 10 marks.

Congratulations, Prashant.
It seems like the IOF 30-06 is a step up from their usual fare.

All right here is another 'peerless' rifle . Haven't had a chance to shoot it but I will be given a chance.
Take a look at the work. Walnut stock, receiver , bolt, barrel, all internals tuned. Cerakote finish, groups less than half an inch as per the owner at 100m.

Half an inch at 50 yards, not 100 m.

[Sakobav]

Nice going prashant, cobert and Baljit -- his expert advise is invaluable...wish I could convince another chap on buying IOF 3006
Dev is that your gun?

Exactly what I was thinking that time.
You will be surprised Vikram but those chicken didn't move one bit. . With all the shot gun, .32 pistol and .22 firing at the range. They've all (probably) gone deaf by now.

Reminds me of the fantastic time I had in Delhi. Arjun took me to the Karni Singh Shooting Range the other day. He emptied out a few boxes in my jacket and asked me to try my hand at Skeet. It was a truly enjoyable evening inspite of the fact that I did not hit (my clays) much.
The closing time is 5 p.m. and Arjun told me that the Neelgai would be out soon. Sure enough. Within 15 minutes. While we were still packing up a female Neelgai with her twin calfs came walking in.

You are right. It is amazing how well they get used to guns going off at close proximity if there is no harm to them.One of the places we used to go to in UK,Edgehill, has a lot of sheep grazing very close to the stations. And cattle and horses. They just don't care.

At another place, Barby at Rugby, you have rabbits,hundreds of them, nibbling at grass right behind you.They look like they are least bothered, but the moment you turn with a gun, they are gone!

Shooter knows both the places.

Best-
Vikram
