"New" 96/11's

[Calfed]

I got a quick trip to the Lincoln range in yesterday and shot the newest Swiss and Swede rifles.

96/11 #229113 ...the one with the replacement barrel is a smoking hot shooter.

After verifying that the front sight was set correctly for windage @ 50 yards, I tried a few 5 shot groups @ 100 yards.

The first one with GP11...


It looked pretty good, so I tried a second GP11 group...


I really liked these groups, so I tried a group with my handload...43.9 grains of IMR4064 and a 168 gr AMAX...


I think this is my new favorite Swiss rifle.

96/11 #313237 was a bit of a disappointment. The best GP11 group that I could muster @ 100 yards was this one...



I didn't have anymore of my reloads, so I wasn't able to try them in this one. A little odd, because this bore looks to be at least as good as the bore in the other 96/11. I guess it could be an issue unrelated to the bore. I may take it apart and make sure there isn't something in the barrel channel, etc that is interfering with the accuracy.
