  1. Looks like a fantastic piece of kit. Im a fan of David Tubb. His records speak for themselves. Best of luck with your purchase.
  2. Did you try hornady 75 gr tap ammunition. Same bullets used as the 75 gr bthp. Shot very well in my 1-9 twist.
  3. plus 1 on this. i have a walther gsp carbine rifle semi auto. accuracy is up there with any bolt action 22 i have ever shot. The action in tgis rifle is very tight. about 150 rounds before i have to clean it.
  4. Fair play to you mark. A gentleman to deal with. Hope everything goes well for you. Murph
  5. 223 for me. Shot 22-250 for a good few years and just thought that it was too much for foxes. Also the 22-250 I had (tikka m595) hadn't a patch on my 223 (blaser lrs2) for accuracy. The blaser has served me well on crows magpies pigeons and rabbits out to about 670 yards and is cheap as chips to load for.
  6. Had to take the zero stop out of my 5-24x50 z6i to get more than one turn. 2 minute job to do.
  7. Couldn't have put it better myself. I would rather fork out 2500 for a Swarovski any day myself. I have looked through a lot of scopes and always go for Swarovski for the glass. I remember me and my shooting buddy looking at rabbits at about 600 yards. We were losing the light and I spotted a rabbit running up along a hedge. I was telling him where it was for about 2 minutes. I said to him- give me look through you're scope - a brand new sightron 6-24x 50 I believe. The difference in light gathering was ridiculous. I told him to look through mine. He was not a happy bunny ( pardon the pun).
  8. thanks for the replies. - time to start saving the pennies!
  9. I was wondering what were members opinions of this scopes. I use a 5-30x50 z6i and I am seriously considering purchasing an x5i with plex crosshairs as I only dial.
  10. Another vote for 1967spud. Bought a few bits of him with very professional service - couldn't do enough to help you- top bloke.
  11. Plus 1. I would certainly consider one. I use a z6i and find the glass to be second to none. I Think this could be a game changer for swarovski. It's about time that they listened to the thoughts of the more target orientated amongst us.
  12. http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f18/swarovski-announces-new-x5-i-long-range-rifle-scope-150806/ There's the link!
  13. Has any one seen the new swarovski scopes. Looks like they are finally addressing a few calls for a long range scope. Looks like a great bit of kit
  14. Top one is a blaser lrs2 in 223. Using 53gr hornady vmax hand loads. Longest first shot on rabbit to 740 yards when everything comes together lol. Bottom one is a walther gsp carbine semi auto in 22 lr. Deadly tool for rabbits using rws r50 ammo.
  15. Fantastic bit of kit. Had a few issues with my electronic scales and went back to the beam scale with this trickler- couldn't be happier. Alan is a really good fellow to deal with.
