  1. I'm finding the standard pistol grip on my MDT Oryx too thin, and the reach too short for comfortable trigger control. I see that MDT make the Premier adjustable grip, which would probably work, but I can't get passed how cheap and ugly looking it is. They also make the Elite version, which looks better, but £110+ seems crazy expensive for what it is. Are there any other alternative grips worth considering, or do I have to bite the bullet and buy the Elite?
  2. Anything that represents decent VFM, and I'm not up for spending new retail like prices for second hand kit. Do you have a mod for sale?
  3. I have a set of 308 Win Forster Ultra Micrometer seating and honed FL dies (0.333" neck), that I'd like to swap for similar quality dies in 6.5 Creedmoor. Please PM if interested.
  4. Looking for an over barrel mod with above specs. Must be on ticket. Something like the MAE bushless design would be ideal, but anything considered if cheap enough. Please PM if you have something for sale. NOW SORTED THANKS ALL
  5. The 17 Hornet is a bit fiddly and when developing a load make sure the powder increments are small, like 0.2 grains, as pressure builds quickly. I prefer full length sizing and move the shoulder back as little as possible every time.
  6. N1000 IR laser illuminator, 3 mode power, adjustable for windage and elevation, adjusts from narrow beam to wide flood. Very little use so in good unmarked condition. Comes with mounting bracket and camo carry pouch. SOLD Also for sale elsewhere.
  7. Work up to around 11 grains. IIRC I went a bit beyond that and was getting greater than factory ammo velocity so was probably over pressure. Brass was holding up fine though.
  8. So you picked a cartridge that you don't reload for, with only one factory ammo option and was hoping it might work? Surely any cartridge could fall short if tested with only one type of factory ammo. Neither of my 17 Hornets shot the factory ammo to even 1MOA, but reloading brought them down to around half MOA. If using factory ammo, I would stick to to a cartridge with plenty of options, and that rules out 17 Rem as well as 17 Hornet.
  9. If the sale falls through, I have a Zeiss HD5 5-25x50 Varmint with locking target turrets for PX.
  10. I have used a Ward800S and Solaris SRX on a Swarovski Z5 5-25x52 and have been very impressed with the clarity of the image. Rabbits at 250+ yards are exceptionally clear, but the Swarovski only allows full focus from about 180ish yards minimum, so anything closer is a bit blurry.
