Welcome to Team Wild's gear.
Now this week, we've come to Garland shooting range again.
And this time we're going to be having a look at some of the cool Vanguard products you can
get to accessorize your rifle.
Let's go and have a look to see what we've got in the box.
I've brought the Sauer 101 with me.
This is the 101 XT.
Now Ian Harford has been putting this to good use around the country.
He's been dying a Muntjac with Cervus UK.
And he shot a road deer with Cervus Uk but that was a little while ago.
So now I'm just going to put a few rounds through it now. And just make sure she is on.
I'm using hundred and fifty grain Lapua ammunition.
All get loaded up.
And see how we go on.
That's pretty much bang on.
All right, so I absolutely love this rifle, it shoots fantastically well.
We've had a good group there, and that shooting off of the bench bag.
Now the bench bag is okay for circumstances like this. But being a Varminator,
every now and again we have to get out take a shot off the deck, sometimes take a shot off the bonnet.
So for that reason I'm going to add a bypod to the rifle.
Then once the bypod is fitted, I'm going to take a few shots off of a hard surface.
And I'm goinng to go down on the floor and take a few shots of the floor and just see how that alters
the zero of the rifle.
While I'm at it, I'm going to look at some other accesories I can add to the gun.
You've heard of Pimp My Ride.This is Pimp My Rifle
First up we have the awesome Vanguard Equalizer 1 Bipod.
It's easy to fit onto the sligsters of any rifle.
It comes with a quick release screw mechanism.
And it also has easy to use slide out extendable legs. Not forgetting the
retractable spikes to help give you that extra grip in the dirt.
Not on Wildy's bonnet.
Next up we have the super handy Grovtec Buttstock Ammo Holder.
This little baby allows you to keep your ammo right where you need it.
Nine ropunds can be placed in the back, ready for immeadiate use.
Finally we have the Vanguard Gun Hugger Slingsystem.
Fitted in minutes with the simple and easy to attach swivel studs.
It's near double stitch construction means a non slip confortable carrying aid for any weight of rifle.
Awesome.
That's the sour pimp.
So let's see how it performs in the field. Killers going to take two three shot groups in
quick succession.
From a hard surface and from the deck.
Let's roll.
So that's the rifle pimped.
Now the bypod,
as you noticed has got like a little flexibility there.
Now it's spring-loaded.
and they claim that this is going to help
provide a stable shooting platform, but it will also absorb a bit of recoil.
So I've not used one like that before so we'll just see how it goes.
It has been known,
for me to turn up for a nights shooting
go into my cartridge box and pull out one bullet.
But now I've got this...
There'll be no excuses I'll be able to see exactly how many bullets I've got in here.
That's more like it.
Off the ground, that's the way me and Wildy shoot most of the time.
Either on the green stuff or the brown stuff.
Definitely feels a lot better with the spikes in.
It's a little bit more fiddly than some of the bypod's i've used but there very quiet; there silent
there's no messing , no springs clanging with them.
So that's all good.
Lets go down and have a look and see how I've done.
I'm impressed with this.
The action sling itself.
The neapreem actually kind of gives it a comfy spongy feel so there's a bit of give there.
It doesnt feel as if it's gonna slip.
And the thumb grip is really confortable. I like that.
Okay.
This was my first three shots.
That was off the bypod, off of a hard surface.
Now the first two shot went okay.
My third one I think i pulled slightly and I think it did just move a little bit.
So I'd do a little bit more practicing with it off of hard surfaces.
Before I actually shoot off the bonnet or anything like that.
This, is the second group I shot.
I shot this off the ground and again,
not a bad grouping.
Pulled that one to the right.
I kind of knew I had when i pulled the trigger to be honest.
Erm...
It felt a lot better shooting it off the ground with spikes on it.
It felt a lot better a lot more stable on the ground where i could get in and grip the gun a lot better.
If I'm going to be shooting off hard surfaces like bonnets or such like or a bench.
I'll do a bit more practising but.
I dont know if it's a good idea going off bonnets with these because...
dead at night in the heat of the moment, I'm bound to forget to put these away
and scratch Wildy's bonnet.
Anywho that's the gun pimped.
We've got our bullets there.
We got our sling on.
And we've got our Vanguard Bypod. All is good.
