Friday Grumps Gun Porn Sigarms SHR970 addition

This Friday's Centerfold is my favorite hunting rifle in my vault, the Sigarms SHR970 in .30-06 aka in my house as the "Black Gun"

It is a Bolt Action rifle coupled with a Leupold Scope which when coupled with the Federal ballistic tip rounds I shoot is a death ray I can actually shoot a 3 shot "dime" cluster at 100 yards with this gun when totally dialed up to go out West for a hunting trip(A dime cluster means the 3 bullet holes are close enough together that you can cover all three with one dime)

The gun was designed and built in Switzerland and the parts work like a fine Swiss watch when I was looking to buy hunting rifle I looked for 6 months and the moment I worked the bolt action on this I knew I had found my rifle it was like butter smooth as a baby's butt ;)

I would have to rate this gun right in the middle of the Zombie Repellent List. While it is laser accurate it only holds 4 rounds and you have to work the bolt between each shot. Now if you were on the roof of building sniping zombies it would be great but not the best gun if they are breaking into the room you and your family are hiding in.

It fires the .30-06 round the same round that was used by our Great Great Grandfathers and Great Grandfathers to win World War 1 and by our Great Grandfathers and Grandfathers to win World War 2 You could use this gun to pretty much hunt any living animal that you could find on the North America Continent. The round might be a bit light for a lot of the stuff in Africa but it could still be used for a lot of the things over there like Antelopes and Springboks.
The gun set up in its Western Hunting configuration notice the bipod



The Lovely and Lethal PJ of the Confidentials blog putting rounds down range with it
PJ fell in love with this gun I was worried I would have to wrestle her for it at the end of the day ;)

I like to use pictures of PJ as an example to other woman who are curious about shooting to show you do not need to be a large human being to shoot a lot of these guns PJ is pretty tiny and she had no trouble. So if you are a smaller human being do not let that stop you from taking up shooting.

So there you go this weeks Grumps Gun Porn is the Sigarms SHR970 Rifle
