Nosler M48

41Magnum · Friday at 2:36 PM

After changing the scope from pistol to rifle the groups really tightened up on my Nosler M48 pistol in 308 Win. This is is Nosler's factory loaded 165 gr. Accubond ammo @ 100 yds. It shoots the Ballistic Tips equally well. Partitions are next.

My LGS has one of these Nosler pistols in 6.5 Creed and I stare at it wondering if it shoots $1,600 worth. Looks like they do.

I have 2 m48 rifles and they shoot extremely well also.

I have two a 22 Nosler NCH (Fluted & Harrell's Radial Brake), and a 6.5 Creedmoor (Round Barrel & Harrell's Radial Brake). Both have custom finished stocks in Three Color Brown Camo. They are nice to look at if I say so my self. At $150 each they should look good.
I would have preferred that the 6.5 Creedmoor had of been a 308 Winchester first choice, and a 7-08 second choice, however I believe about 90% of the production runs are 6, and 6.5 Creedmoor. The 7-08 and 308 seem to be pretty scarce.
Both of mine drive tacks. The 22 Nosler is exceptionally accurate. A couple years ago I managed to shoot a 3" and a 3.5" group at 600 with it back to back. Very good day and an 8-32 Rifle Scope.

How are you shooting the short eye relief scopes? You have to be creeping up pretty close.

Mine is a rifle.

For me it depends on which caliber I'm shooting at the time.

My 3 specialty pistols have rifle scopes, 17 HMR, 20 VT & 6 BR. On the 17 & 20 I don't have to worry about recoil since it's very minimal. With the 6 BR, I get a full sight picture in the scope and back my head off just slightly while still maintaining my acquired target. Never had an issue.

The 20 VT & 6 BR both have brakes. The brake makes a big difference on recoil and also helps see the hits on critters through the scope. The 20 VT really doesn't need a brake for the recoil, but it does help see the hits.

It may seem confusing, but it is very easy to get use to.

Thanks, I used a encore with a14 inch barrel in 7-08. No way I would creep up on it. But I can see where rifle scopes will help in accuracy, pistol scopes leave you wanting, well more!

For the bigger stuff with a rifle scope you really need a brake. Forward weight in the form of a heavier barrel also helps. I have shot an XP-100 in 7 SAUM with a 6.5-20 Leupold and can get very close to a full field of view but it has a Remington Varmint contour barrel and a brake. It's kind of like watching a movie made fore a wide screen tv on a regular tv. You notice the extra space at first but once your concentrating on the picture you don't notice it anymore. You also need to make sure you have your parallax set properly because your noggin is just floating around in space.
