Another rig I will use for deer or antelope

Ernie, that's not a pistola. Lol

What gave it away?

Remmy 700 SA LH 6.5x47 Lapua
All work done by Mac's Gunworks south of Gillette.
Krieger 1-8 twist, 24" Mac Brake, match chamber
Badger 30 MOA Pic Rail, re-worked Remmy trigger, McRee Chassis.
Really excited about the new Gen III Eliminator scope.
It has some advanced features compared to Eliminator I used last year. I have been really pumped about this scope for some time now.
Shoot 130 Berger's at just over 2800 fps.
Yes, it is quite accurate.

I believe that is the first post I have seen from you that has that "boat paddle" thing behind the grip! Nice rig Sir! Mingokid.

It is the first center-fire I have owned in a while.
I did borrow a friend's rifle several years ago though for a lope.

I read the article you did last year on the eliminator, I was intrigued, but am curious on battery life and function in sub freezing temps, your thoughts ?

Haven't used the old one little alone the Gen III in sub freezing yet.
I know the original Eliminator has been used successfully in sub-freezing temps, but have not used it myself.

That thing is a beauty Ernie.

Is that a huntin' rig? Or snipin' rig?

LOL

Just wonderin' how close you need to get with that rig.

Yes!

LOL!

Quite a rig!!!

The 6.5x47L rifle has about the same performance as one of my 6.5-284 SP's, so this rig is a just a sweet shooting rifle.
Mainly set-up for teaching LR shooting schools.
Light recoil, long throat life.
About the same performance as what a 260 Rem does in a rifle, but with less powder and recoil.

Going doggin for a couple of days at a new town next week-Going to give the 6.5x47L rifle and Elim III a test drive.

Update on my 6.5x47L
I wasn't able to sight in my scope yet as I have a 30mm pic rail/base.
The Burris Eliminator III is not designed with a lot of internal MOA adjustment since the purpose of the scope is to use the technology for distance.
I put in their shim/lift kit which came in on Friday and bore sighted it easily.
Today I went the range and zeroed it at 100 yards as per the instructions.
I had already programmed it for my drop and BC.
It was easy to be exact on my 100 yard zero with the 1/8 MOA clicks on the turrets which you can zero like one would a target turret.
A friend from church who was with me helped me set up a steel target at 750 yards.
Actually we set it up at 749 but it was close enough for what I wanted.
Shooting of off a Harris bi-pod and my small Holland field bag.
Lasered the target and it came up as 749 yards which is the same distance my Leica 1600 LRF gave me.
Wind was coming from the right and I guesstimated the speed as I checked the correction for a 10 mph FV (upper right part of the scope) and held slightly right and sent it.
First shot at distance (749 yards) with Eliminator was perfect for drop, but slightly under doped the wind and hit at three O'Clock.
Best word I can come up with is giddy.
My friend from church who was watching through my spotting scope could hardly believe his eyes.
We went and took some pics then took a break as we were shooting to other rifles as well: 7mm STW & a 30-378 Weatherby.
About an hour later, Tracy shot from 400-1000 yards with first shot connections each time with my 6.5-47L.
Bright sunshine and mirage was now in play.
He said it was so easy it made him feel like he was cheating.
Since once you laser the target, everything you need to make the shot is in the optic, but you still have to determine what the wind is doing, but the correction value is right there for you.
When they say "Range it & Eliminate it!" they weren't kidding.
Tracy said when he first heard about it, he though it may be more of a gimmick and not practical for field use.
He doesn't feel that way anymore. I think the scope on his Tikka 300 WSM may be for sale in the future.
Pics of the target:



For those who don't shoot distance much I had Tracy take two pics looking back to the bench, one with no zoom and then the second one with as much zoom this little digital camera has. On the pic that is zoomed the shooting bench is just above the head of the target.


I let him shoot the rest of my ammo that I had on hand. He was having a blast, literally.

When you said you have a 30mm base did you mean 30MOA?

Oops!
Typo on my part!
Yes, I have a 30 MOA Base

Wind was coming from the right and I guesstimated the speed as I checked the correction for a 10 mph FV (upper right part of the scope) and held slightly right and sent it.


Can you explain this feature a little more in depth ? Is it a chart or just a hold off for wind value? Anything in the electronics of the scope for wind value?

If this doesn't answer your question, let me know.

I think it's a shooter. I see the birds like that target also.

Got it. Thanx Ernie.
