richard-wild-1000-record-8-80
Richard Wild sets a new Australian record for a 5 shot group of 2.067â (52.5mm) at 1,000 yards using the new MARCH-X 8-80. This is a world class group size and lower the previous Australian record significantly.
Richard shot in the Brisbane event called the Australian Shooting Games held July 24-25 2010. He shot in the Light Gun Class with a 6.5x46 Lapua. He used 140gr Berger VLD projectiles in a Stolle Teddy rifle with a Shilen barrel and March 8-80 scope. The event was a 2 day championship held at the Brisbane 1,000 yard Benchrest club at Belmont. This range is part of a shooting complex at the Queensland Rifle Association.
Richard said that he used the scope set on 80x most of the 2 day competition. Despite being overcast weather the image was still bright enough and luckily mirage was minimal. In perfect conditions bullet holes could sometimes be seen in the white. Richard also used the optional MD disc which helps to increase the depth of focus through the field. The scope was mounted on the new Kelbly 34mm rings and the rifle and rests setup is owned by Stuart Elliott.
