Walther KK500 @ NRA prone distances (50Y,50M,100Yards)

Post by markgrabowski »

Wondering how this rifle has performed at the longer yardlines? I know it's main function is a 3P rifle for 50M, but curious how it's done at 100 yards vs. other "dedicated" prone rifles...

Works just fine at 100yds. Shot a 97 + 96 with it @100 last week.

- This was with a light breeze
- Light was not great so I was experimenting using blue/yellow filters as I have a new rear sight
- I have a neck injury making prone shooting painful at the moment.
- Using RWS special match, so just middle of the road ammo.
- Only have about 250 rounds through the barrel so far so it's very early days

All things considered it's plenty accurate.

Update:

This target was shot an hour ago at 100 yards with my KK500.

Shot with my cheapest ammo RWS Target Rifle. First shot was low. Second was in the 8 ring 3 o'clock because the sights adjust
the opposite way to my old rifle and I'm on adjustment autopilot. I got the elevation right but adjusted the wrong way for windage. 3rd shot was in the 10 and I made
no more adjustments and the next 7 went more or less the way I wanted them to go.

What target/bullseye was this shot on... metric or conventional?

I shot this one a couple of months ago with Eley Match (not batch tested, just what my club buys in bulk). The two outside the group I'd like to say were wind but I don't remember much wind that day. Probably less than 500 rounds through it by that point. The rifle is well capable at 100 yards.
