Brno 8x57 shoots damn good.....
16/09/11 02:22 PM

After a bit of tweaking on the Brno 8x57, I got the 150 Sierra's, 170 Speer's and the 195 grain Hornady's to shoot very close at 100 yards, so close that I can hunt with any of my reloads without having to adjust the sights.
This Brno is a post war rebuild, that would probably explain the wood fitting too tight and me having to remove a bit of the barrel channel. I have a couple friends that want me to turn it into an 8mm-06, I am not going to wreck a perfect shooter by changing it only to gain a few fps and possibly ruining the accuracy in the process.
The last 8mm-06 I had shot the 150's at 3005 fps, I am getting 2840 fps with a nice Brno 8x57, I can't see changing it for a small gain like that. It won't knock over game any better anyays....
