The rifle is an M-24 built around a Rem 40XB-Repeater action. It was built as a "Practical field match rifle" (a Sniper rifle). When it was finished, the cases (Lapua) were loaded with Varget (at the range) and Sierra 175SMKs, and the load was zeroed and worked up at the same time, until the velocity of the elevation cam was reached, at the 30th round. The gun was cleaned and fired one more group at 100 yds to foul the barrel. We then went to the 400 yard range, and I shot this group. Rounds #35, #36, and #37. I had only a 20x spotting scope, so I quit shooting after the third round, thinking that I had hit the disk only once.
This was witnessed.
