  1. For a long time now I have had a Nightforce scope with a stuck sunshade.

    At some point it took a whack and it managed to slip across its threads.

    The scope still works perfectly, but I decided recently that I just can't live with it like that anymore.

    So I decided to do something about it... I ain't no gunsmith, but here's an unedited, realtime video of how I removed the Sunshade from the scope!

     

    I hope that one day, it might help someone else out.

     

    Enjoy. Jay

     

     

  2. It started life as a .223 Remington 700P.  The rifle was sent to Valkyrie Rifles for Dave to work his magic on.  I wanted to be able to hit gongs out to 1000 yards!

    The rifle was built during January 2015.

    The action was blue printed and a barley twist was added to the bolt along with a tactical bolt knob.

    It has a 28” Pacnor Super Match Barrel with a 1 in 7 twist.  Chambered in .223 Wylde, an 11 degree target crown was added and it was then screw cut for a Jet-Z moderator and an invisible end cap!

    The action, the bolt, the barrel and the moderator were then all Ceracoated in graphite black H series!

    This superb barrelled action now sits in an MDT Tac 21 chassis system.  This modular chassis system has a built in 20 MOA Picatinny rail that runs the length of the system.

    Because this chassis accepts AR parts, I opted for a Houge pistol grip and a Magpul PRS adjustable but stock.

    Because of the removable butt stock, this long rifle is easily carried in a hard case.

    The rifle has fired a total of 344 rounds including the 5 rounds Dave fired through it way back in 2015!

    Using the load I’ve developed this rifle shoots .3 MOA @ 100 yards and reliably reaches out to the required distance! (We’re not talking about a barn door size target either.  I shoot a 20”x 20” steel gong… Thats 2 MOA!)

    The Sale consists of:

     

    • Semi Custom Remington in an MDT chassis system
    • 1x 10 Round metal Accurate Mag
    • Jet-Z Moderator
    • Black Rifle Picatinny Rail (Mounted to fore grip to mount Bipod) 
    • 200x PPU Brass - Once fired (Formed in this chamber)
    • 132x PPU Brass - Twice fired (Formed in this chamber on 2nd shoot)
    • Hard Case with egg shell foam

     

     I’m asking for £2,000 OVNO

    I would also consider a swap/part ex for an AR style setup… Show me what you got!

    If you would like to negotiate on price, feel free to make an offer but you must be able to collect the rifle or pay the RFD fees... If I get full asking price, I am prepared to cover the RFD fees.

    If you'd like to know any more info, just use the thread or send me a PM.

     

    All The Best.  Jay

  3. Here in the UK, we don't often suffer from severe weather, but sometimes all it takes is a few inches of snow, and the whole of our little Island can grind to a halt. Towards the end of February 2018, we found ourselves in the midst of 'The Beast From The East' which brought us some late snowfall and caught a lot of people off guard...

     

    I spent one night, from finishing work until the early hours of the next morning driving around in my 4x4 helping people who had got stuck on rural roads.  (The kind of roads where not much traffic passes anyway)  If I hadn't of drove there, there's a high chance that a lot of these people would have had to spend the night in their cars... Or maybe walked (a fair distance) for help or shelter.

     

    I would say that a good 90% of the folk I helped were not equipped for the bad weather and certainly not equipped for a night away from home.

     

    That inspired me to make this video.  :D

     

     

  4. This is my latest toy. It a tikka T3 action with a 1-7 twist Tru flite barrel finished at 26 inches threaded and spiggoted with an ASE UTRA MOD in .223 Ackley Improved.

    Designed purposely to shoot the 80 Bergers and 80 grain AMax bullets for long range targets and vermin.

    in the early stages of load development ATM but shooting in the .2's and .3's :-).

    Very very happy and super accurate.ab2fd22a836da7c3b46d769ba4eadb0a_zps0b42http://i1090.photobucket.com/albums/i374/247sniper/ab2fd22a836da7c3b46d769ba4eadb0a_zps0b42c924.jpg

    I like this a lot...

     

    My aim is for distance & I have a .223

     

    Currently only a 1in9 twist, but I hope to rectify that at some point.

     

    How do you rate the AI over the regular .223?
