Sabatti ISSF standard rifle 308 W MRR - Continue the adventure
Sabatti - For the first tests Riccardo Ranzani mounted a 6805-click Anschutz 10 diopter on the speargun, as well as a Centra Score tunnel, all on Centra Club aiming raises.
Sabbath - On the last day of October, Sunday, taking advantage of a beautiful autumn day, we finally started field trials of the firearm at the National Shooting Range in Colle Val d'Elsa. For the first tests Riccardo Ranzani who mounted a diopter on the rifle Anschutz 6805 by 10 clicks, in addition to a Centra Score tunnel, all on the Centra Club aiming raises. The first shots were obviously destined for the running-in prescribed by us in Sabbath, certainly a long and not very funny running-in, but which guarantees a good start of the weapon. The first part of the running-in must be done without aiming, as the weapon must be subjected to a complete cleaning cycle at each shot, this for the first 10 shots at least, then it is passed to do it every 5 and then every 10.
After the first running-in cycle (10 shots), the firearm is reset at 100 m with the competition ammunition that Riccardo had prepared at the time for the free firearm. After that we started getting serious and shooting a few shots at 300 meters. Riccardo has started to set the position on the ground, a necessary choice to have an immediate indication of the accuracy expected from the rifle. Here is what Riccardo told us: "The first thing that struck me was obviously the simplicity of the weapon, for me who am used to the complexity of the free rifle at 50 m 3 × 40 and the latest generation C10s, shooting with a 'weapon in which you can not adjust anything or almost nothing, essential and light (5,5 kg) is definitely a big leap. The doubt was how he would behave when fired, in my prototype, which is fitted with a .308 Win action. Multiradial, there is a 56 cm long barrel, with an extended 15 cm line of sight, my concern of course was how I would have to handle the considerable recoil of the 308 with such a light gun weight ".
For the first tests, commercial Lapua ammunition was used, a copious supply of Scenar 167 grains, which the FS immediately showed to like. Riccardo also adds: "The action was immediately fluid in closing and bore, although it is brand new it is even more fluid and lighter than mine. weapon free (which uses the same 308 W action but with a 69 cm barrel diameter 28mm) ". The shot is a three-lever match Sabbath, factory adjusted by us to 1,5 kg as per the regulation prescription), the first approach with the firearm is precisely with the trigger "I generally use much lighter trigger resistors, from about 100 gr in the C10 and CL at the 450 of the Arma Libera at 300m, shooting a weight of 1,5 kg without a pre-stroke is something different, ”said Riccardo. The first groups are made without looking for the score but for the position. After yet another series of shooting and cleaning (Carbon Remover - Copper Remover - Iosso Paste) to finish the running in we change the target and shoot the first targeted shots.
The first result is this: the first two shots are placed at the top (blue outline, see photo) with the barrel just cleaned, you start notching by lowering the group and in the meantime Riccardo fixes the belt well, pulls three shots and the group. move down slightly to the right on 10 (red outline) I adjust the height of the butt pad and cheek piece. 4 notches on the left and 5 shots, the grouping is just under 10 on the left, (orange outline). Now the location is found. An adjustment to the belt and since there are no markers who can score the points, in order not to confuse the groups, Riccardo raises 5 notches and without looking at the target between one shot and the next, pulls five shots that are all positioned at the top of left with good grouping (yellow outline). A good debut there is no denying it. We can't wait to tell you how this new adventure we have embarked on will proceed.
