Default My new critter whacker..........

I finally found the rifle that I wanted to make a "one" gun battery. The rifle in question is a Sako M75 stainless synthetic chambered in 375 H&H. So like the ones before her, I gave it a ride home in my pickup truck.
I had a Zeiss Conquest 6.5 x 20x50 and Zeiss Conquest 3x12x56 with a 30mm tube laying around and opted to mount the latter on the Sako for now. I had to go to other rings than were provided, again for now I used a set of Leupold high rings. This scope doesnt look out of place even with the over sized objective to me
I am going try this combination out for a while and see whether I am going to like it. While I like the #8 reticle I am not comfortable with the eye relieve. Though I havent shot that manyrounds through it, it's quite pleasant to shoof off the bench. The best performing load I shot on it's maiden range voyage consisted of Win case,Fed 215 primer,IMR-4064 and Barnes 270 gr Triple Shock and printed a nice 1"group.

Here's a pic of her.......
