  1. I have just had a very good experience with this company. I bought a used Vari X 111 6.5 x 20 a few years ago and recently the tracking went awry. Considering the scope is now over 20 years old, I was not too unhappy but sent the scope off to Leupold in Oregon for fixing. The web site process for registering a return under warranty was simple and quick and included printing an address label for the parcel and a packing slip to explain the problem. A week later I had an acknowledgment. Two weeks after I had a message saying it was repaired and would be posted back inside two weeks as they batched foreign shipments. Two weeks later the scope arrived back with a full explanation of the work done. The icing on the cake was that the documentation sent with the scope clearly explained that it was being returned after warranty repairs so that it came straight to my door without a row with Customs about import charges. Well done to Leupold!
  2. No great hurry. I will buy the bag for £100 plus postage in the UK. Tell me when it is available to post and I will pay by Paypal, Bank transfer or Revolut.
  3. Thank you. You could measure the width of the bag rider shown in the photo if that is to hand?
  4. What is the ear spread please?,i.e. the stitched distance between the ears at the bottom. Thanks for your help.
  5. I offer you £125 for both plus postage to Bournemouth. If you agree please send the total and I can pay by bank transfer, Paypal or Revolut.

  6. The key difference between Forums and "Social Media" is that Forums last forever(I hope), whereas FB etc., is ephemeral. It is nearly impossible to search social media for past wisdom, whereas, a Google search will always return links to Forums regarding your search arguments. How many times have you searched for an answer on "how to fix this" on a car or "accuracy issues" to see that the answers are frequently forum based, or You tube, which is searchable?
  7. This is a 22/250 single shot with a SAKO L579 action. Twist rate is 1/9. Stock is by GRS which replaced the original stock a few years ago.. It was built by Trevor Proctor in Wilmslow, starting with a new Sako Varmint L579. The original 1/14 barrel was replaced with a short, stout. Lothar Walter barrel and a single set trigger from a Geman maker was installed. Very accurate.
  8. The smallest is 1/2 the size of the largest. Any idea why?
  9. I see this often, Very good groups but they move around. Why? Are you adjusting the point of aim?
  10. http://www.geoffrey-kolbe.com/articles/rimfire_accuracy/tuning_a_barrel.htm Excellent link. Finally some numbers to support the empirical evidence that some tuners do work. Having resisted the temptation to invest so far, can any one on here recommend one for a short barrelled(18 inch) Anschutz 1408EDS(Running Boar Rifle repurposed).
  11. I am really looking forward to the answers here. Would anyone with experience at these ranges illustrate their answers with target photos please? Also a description or photos of the rifles used would be great for sharing the knowledge.
