That bald headed Geordie Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 Was at Tony Lenton's today and watched him beavering away to finish off my heavy gun stock, which will be put to good use this coming weekend at Diggle. Just needs a bit of a polish but am very pleased with his design and the many hours he spent in his man shed doing the work. So once again, many thanks Tony and well done. The cheque is in the post (honest!). Here are a few photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That bald headed Geordie Posted March 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 cant see any sling swivels !!!! Real men do not need sling swivels and will be using it for biathlon and possibly CSR but with a bit of heavy duty nylon cord as a sling. Sorted. Now for a soupcon of creme brulee and a mint tea to follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That bald headed Geordie Posted March 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 We are now stocking official benchrest twine only £9-99 per yard if its any help.  As long as it has been sanctioned by the UKBRA committee then can I have 2 yards as a matter of urgency. A Certificate of Conformity will be required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I have a go ! No just kidding. Nick Hi Nick. It is shooting pretty well but I do need further load development but probably only minor tweaking, but as usual I seem to do development during competitions as I do not have anywhere in this neck of the woods to do testing. Just waiting to find out the weather for Sunday at Gelston near Dumfries to shoot at 1000 yards again. Need to get to Diggle midweek sometime to test at 300 yards if the weather is good.

That bald headed Geordie Posted April 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 are you bringing it up to gelston les ? be good to see it and you if you are ,6-8 mph n/nnw winds and dry Hi, yes that is the intention and will reload some tomorrow for Sunday. The wind forecast has definitely died down over the past week, so might be ok(ish) for a 6BR and will give it a go. Not sure the bearing of the firing point to the targets relative to n/nnw?
