Yes Marine,

In .375 and .408 Cheytac.

Most likely the way i will go personally.

Familiar, proven platform. Easy barrel changes , etc etc.

whats the barrel life like on the cheytecs?

the 375 cheytac is a round that interests me 

ive a accuracy international at and i think its a great rifle ive a tikka tac as well again great rifle . if 3.5 k is your budget buy the likes of the tikka and spend the rest on the glass

Very few actually gained from any 'sponsorship' last season, a few were being sponsored this year but not many. It is expensive and unfortunately there is not much that can be done to reduce the cost, may be sponsorship would be better spent reducing the cost for all rather than the select few but there aren't enough sponsors with spare cash to do that.

Typical cost for me for the 1st Round of this seasons PRL were £300 for entry fee and pre match training day at Orion, ammo (all hand-loaded but typically approx £0.85 per round not including time) £255, fuel £150 (3L Range Rover so that could be less), accommodation £285 for 3 nights in a AirBNB, meals and sundries lets say another £75 so thats already £965 not including barrel wear and breakages. I had planned to share the AirBNB but that would only save maybe £180.

The difference between £1200 to enter from across the Irish Sea would be the Ferry crossing costs.

PRL is not cheap and the cost to enter is the same no matter what class you shoot in, you can reduce cost by sharing travelling and accommodation and maybe camping but that's about it.

The cost that cannot be measured easily is 'her indoors' patience.

ya the boat is the bit adds so much on its more than the entry fees about £400 return . yous are lucky you have so meany ranges to shoot only a few over here i can only think of one that goes to 1000 its a mod range

I think the  rimfire stuff should be pushed more for all ages , with regards to the PRL stuff the cost and total lack of places to do it ,  and the in house politics ect ect will be the main reasons why it will die on its arse . 
I hear lots of chatter and excitement of the .22 LR stuff as it can be done pretty much anywhere with only a Max range of 200 m is needed , it’s also a lot fairer to as everyone is restricted by two common elements.... calibre and ammunition . 
and last but not least the cost . The cost of the PRL stuff and alike is laughable and will just end up being restricted to a pretentious few . 
 

good points cant argue with any of that 

the 52 is a lot smoother because it has the higher rating so im told that's why i went with a xb52 just something to think about i know the xb44 is a good head a friend has one but said he would have got the xb52 if it was out at the time . 

for me i like the elr day as for .22s they should be kept for the 22prl or mybe a small 22 shoot for kids i dont think we are doing enough to encourage the sport to the next generation coming up . look at the prs in the usa they have a bit for the kids maybe something we can do in the future .

Morning,

I purchased online thru’ this site:

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32820038650.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.37231e26vHV4hn&algo_pvid=4a5684ea-6fec-4e78-b818-99d72c34b4ab&algo_expid=4a5684ea-6fec-4e78-b818-99d72c34b4ab-17&btsid=0b0a0ae215854664323442067e9b71&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_,searchweb201603_

Will be adding a ball head as the levelling base although good, does not give enough flexibility, probably one of these:

The N44 looks about right?

Whole package will probably weight just over 5 pounds.
