BD Pretty certain they are SFP, but the literature does not state this or say what magnification the ret. subtensions are actually valid for? Could not be bothered to ask the various reps at the IWA, they seemed too busy draped around the cafe they had for a stand. See they are going for the U.S. 'must have a gimmic' which I find surprising. There is this zero override lever - can anyone give me a reason/use for this? Zeroed at 100 you go 'up' for closer, zero say at 300 you would have to override the zero stop then look up and put on your adjustment to shoot closer - more work than using a 100 zero and simply adding clicks, so I'm a bit bemused? But they have the 'I'll only use Swaro' market which makes this a safe bet as you can see by folks pre ordering without the scope actually being in production (or tested by the punters). At £2000++ a unit that is a brave bunch of punters ! T

Will try to see them tomorrow, but first comnents are they have big banners up shouting to the Workd - then lock them away behind glass? I'll post any photos or info I can glean. T

Mick, Enough scope power so you can see all the castle. Re. Rear bags. The TAB 'bean bag' design's nice. I've tried tevround ones but squeezing the bean bag works best. The latter filling on the TAB's good. Trye just using the bean bag rather han bag+ mono pod, just a thoughtt! Terry

'Jambo' (as they say here) Really glad it all wnt off well and folks enjoyed the stages. The idea was test not tax Annoyed at missing the day, just to see Matt doing a good impersonation of a newbie would make the trip worthwhile lol Brgds Terry

Gents, I was at Steve Bowers last year picking up some kit and he'd been working on subsonic loads for a customer who wanted a suppressed rifle. He was getting very good results using the heavy (210g?) Lapua subsonic bullet. From memory he had to ensure the cases were 'matched' to achieve consitent sub soinc groups other wise they opened up. His test target was impressive in that it had 2 horizontal rows of clustered groups, with the sub sonic groups being about 6-7 inches directly below the normal load (cannot remeber the the sonic load bullet weight?) I beleive he built the Bruce Pott's sub sonic 338 and also he has a barrel made by Lothar specifically for this type of use. Might be worth giving him a call? Brgds Terry
