Hi Everyone. I finally got out the other day with my Sako A7 and I have a question.
I know for a fact that on a good day I can shoot into about an inch with a peep sight and have even done it with blade sites. My Schmidt Rubin does it over and over again and that is a military stocked firearm with no accuracy work at all.
The A7 is tested at the factory in Finland and they all shoot under an inch at 100 yards. They even guarantee a 5 shot group, which is nuts because so few people can even do that. I used yellow and green box Remington ammo
(not premium ammo) and I am wondering if it was the ammo, the fact that the scope is not steady, or something outside of my control. I do have premium ammo for it but wanted to get it sighted in and broken in some.
Can you guys tell me if you shoot better with a scope, worse, or if you think it is just the ammo. It is in .300 WSM and I have some Federal premium for it, but Hornady doesn't make that caliber. Any suggestions?
