A rifle for 2 miles!
Posted: Thu May 21, 2015 12:45 pm
There is a new competition being held in the US this year, it is called the King of 2 Miles - it involves targets from 1500m to 2 miles (funnily enough) and is shot in teams of 3. 1 Shooter and 2 spotters.
The UK has 4 teams entered (Invite only this year) and with the help of the Shooting Shed, I have added some modifications to my rifle to help achieve hits out to 2 miles.
The package is not quite finished, I still have a rear monopod being built in Germany for me (by the Rifles designer and builder) along with the option of a bag rest from the Shooting Shed too.
Mods are:
Shooting Shed bipod extension - 300mm further forward, with the option of another 300mm and a Shed bipod for some of the shooting.
Shooting Shed oversized bolt handle
Shooting Shed adjustable cheek rest (essential with the beast of an adjustable base I have)
Cold Shot 150MOA adjustable base (On top of a 20MOA rail with a 30MOA TET unimount) - the base actually has 180 MOA of adjustment in 1/4moa clicks!
The scope is a trial/test from one of my sponsors and is a Bushnell XRS 4.5-30x50 FFP scope. (I am also taking 2 other scopes and will hopefully have something "Special" for the 2 mile event)
Mirage shield from Fierce Vinyl in the US.
From my 1k zero I need 212MOA out to 2 miles.
Still to come is a Shooting Shed paint job too!
