Ahhhh I got you... the firearm would probably sell quicker if all the info was written in calligraphy - genius!  😀

Rymans:  lined pad, pencil and ruler,  £5

Need this to be under a fiver if they're trying sell a ruler & pencil with a pad which already has the lines - a stitch-up 😕

B&M Bargains do Jumbo pad for a quid! 😁

Is there cross-wires here somewhere?....meaning; when he replied "sold" to you...rimmie was meaning the rail was sold to you - that's the way I would have read it - (unless I'm barking totally up the wrong tree)

I'm sure this could easily be resolved

Good luck

This is a series of six x five shot groups I shot some time ago - 30 consecutive shots - Eley HP subs with a £40 forty year old semi-auto - I could easily crop out the top and bottom right groups on the right hand target and claim I have a .5moa rifle but, of course, this is not so.

Now that's more what I'm used to reading on UKV ...Good to see some honesty ↑ ... I do smile at the rest of this thread

+1 for N150 with 175 smks

This 👆 - every time

Or even N130 works for me. ...22.7g under a 55g Blitzking  .....(raise the pill to 69g for N140 and 24.5g)

Your question is vague ...It'll do it (just about) but it'll be more 'miss-than-hit' most likely...better off using 80g-95g for more stability....but be more specific with your Q

The man's acerbic wit will be sadly lacking on here -  made me chuckle many-a-time 

May you make the angels smile, Bradders.... and for goodness sake, don't pi%$-them-off!

RIP

Have Remington fixed this bolt problem?

MikeJ

I'd strongly recommend dropping your charge by a couple of full grains... then test again

42.6g of N140 with a 168g bullet is not a "light load" by any means......and, the 44g with a 175g TMK is excessive

Still looking for a new rifle I’ve been looking for over a year and thought of a T3x super varmint, but I’ve seen a browning x bolt stainless fluted with adjustable  cheek piece rifling  twist is 1 in 8 or  1-9 as I’ve enquired. has anyone any experience with the x bolt or perhaps owns one?it sounds a pretty nice rifle but  what’s people’s views on them.

 

Brief synopsis

Trigger most definitely does not do what is says on the tin - IMHO, it is way too heavy for my taste

Dura-touch stock (if that's the config you're contemplating?) ...is very nice indeed, although CZ also produce the soft touch stock in similar price bracket and IMHO is a far superior rifle. Although, if you're of the mindset on the range 'don't care how it shoots, as long as it's aesthetically pleasing', it may suit . However, if you hunt the probability of scaggs/scratches increases, and therefore won't suit (if you like the rifle to still look nice)

Best feature of all is without doubt position of safety - perfectly placed and something most, if not all, manufacturers should consider

Are they accurate? - reload (roll a good cigarette and you'll get a good smoke)  

Of more important concern is you're "still looking for a new rifle for over a year"? ..I hear golf is quite a popular  ?

Phone your dept. Give your name or ticket number and give the name of the land or farm to which you are invited. I would have no doubt that any of the personnel, apart perhaps from the 'receptionist,' would be able to advise you whether the land is cleared.

Come to think of it though, even then, if she's as knowledgeable as the woman on the reception at my Doctor's surgery, she'd be able to tell you too! .. ?
