SOLD. I got this stock as part of a new build. It has been lightly used for practice and competition. The McMillan ADJ A-5 Thumbhole stock is now surplus to requirements. It is compatible with Remington Short Actions and had a Borden Alpine action installed. It is pillar bedded and has Tier One bottom metal for AI magazines. As I weighed the stock (66.4 oz) I note that the action screws are in place too. LOP is currently set to 14.5 inches, however it can be adjusted as there are a number of spacers installed - see black section of butt. Advertised elsewhere. More photos available. £900 ono posted RMSD. Thanks JCS

One rifle doesn't do it all in my experience. The main challenge I find is checking zero after changing ammunition or a scope. I don't have easy access to a range for checking zero. My current approach is - 260 Rem for stalking roe and any larger deer 6.5 Creedmoor for short range competitions 308 Win for red deer and practice (two scopes) All rifles are moderated. Regards JCS

I've not tried any other ammunition yet. Waiting to see when the new RWS and Lapua ammunition will hit the shelf. Thanks JCS -

I went out yesterday with my CZ 457 MTR and shot at 200 yds in cold bright sunshine with a gentle L-R breeze. The two shoots were run as plotting training sessions, so after my initial shot, the trainee plotter made all the calls. First shoot was with RWS R100 ammunition and the second shoot was with SK Long Range Match. All shots fired were on the targets, so you can see how I started and moved in. The innermost yellow ring on the bull measures 4.5 inches. We plan to go back soon for more plotting practice on a windier day. The brighter yellow target (top) is the RWS R100. Regards JCS -

Two things jump out - Introduction of a class for stalking rifles. Publishing the calendar of events - I've already got events in my calendar through to October this year. I've no idea when PRS is happening. Regards JCS

Agree, I would like to shoot the PRS type match with one of my stalking rifles and know that I wasn't competing against folk with rifles that weigh twice as much or more. Regards JCS

I currently have one of these on my .22 for PRS etc - https://www.opticswarehouse.co.uk/sightron-s-tac-4-20x50-sfp-moa-sf-non-ir-moa-2-rifle-scope struggled a bit recently on an ARA type card at 100 yards. Think I probably need something with higher mag, but the x4 was very handy in a McQueens type stage at 50 yards. I will watch this thread with interest. ~5-25 is the kind of range that I think I need. Regards JCS

I've shot at at 2 day match once, I agree it's just too expensive. I like the challenge, so I'm currently pursuing .22 PRS type shoots instead with my CZ 457. Regards JCS

David Tubb once upon a time recommended 38 gr of N160 for Sierra 107gr BN-coated MatchKing bullets. It's very hard to find David's recommendations online any more. I ran the following two loads in my 6XC - 105 Scenar N160 38.00 105 Amax N160 36.76 Regards JCS
