Default Two Sakos Shoot 1/2 MOA

We got a new bench rest today and I decided to try it out with a variety of our family rifles. Our two Sakos were outstanding. At 100 yards, the .30-06 Finnbear with 150gr Barnes X handloads shot a group smaller than 1/2 inch. The fisrt two shots were touching and the 3rd was only a hair above them. Things got really interesting when the 7mm Rem Mag came out. This is a Sako Deluxe with a 6X Zeiss scope. I shot 5 factory loads through this rifle with no cool down period. When I walked up to the backstop I noticed that all of the bullets went through the same hole. It left one ragged hole. Pictures will follow this week.
