Ahh must be a real fatty!! No worries 

Undercover fatty perhaps

How long is it folded? Might have an option fo you.

cheers

Srvet,

I would love to mix n match but my barrel is too fat for most mods, hence having to go for an end can.Thanks for the offer though.

If noise turns into an issue I’d probably trial the ase utra sl7i or hausken sk156.

Edi - thanks to you and Peter for sorting this, especially with my PITA time frame.

Got to say it handles better than it looks. I’ve managed some initial load development today, which looks good. Longer range data testing to follow.

The mod was not as quiet as expected. But after a few rounds it got quiet enough and apart from the mirage, you don’t notice it’s on.

pics of 130 gr Berger vld group and a 143 eld x group.

Mmmmm not sure on the backdrop but the rifle is nice.

+1 for Spuhr mounts, had a 20 moa set on my 338, was using 21 mil (circa 71 moa) to get to 1600m with a mild 250 gr scenar load.

Pm sent

Interested. My bingos are a bit bigger. Can I please have a photo of the pouch with yours in (top open) to see how much spare there is inside.

cheers

pm me if you want an email address for pic cheers

Why not use anyone who has a RUAG account ?

I've never had any problems with them, great company and very helpful.

Not my experience, I’m still waiting for a reply from a person saying they where the importer, as to wether or not they can get one of the 2 models I’ve enquired about. They’ve had follow up messages with no reply. 

I’ve no idea if the guy really works for Ruag, a dealer with an account or neither of the above.

But then I might be scarred by my experience of trying to get HIT bullets off them.

Anyway, this has strayed along way from edi’s nice new rifle!

FYI John Lambert can’t/won’t send mods to England.

Thanks guys, will watch with interest and explore the import from Ireland angle. A bit wary at the moment as the Hauksen website talks about the heavy barrel mod only being good for a 23mm diameter barrel.

Why not have a talk to Simon Lawrence regarding a custom moderator??

Might have to but that’s one of the protracted & expensive routes, especially if I can get a Hauksen to do the job. All moot at the minute, waiting on paperwork after my last venture into titanium mods.

Exactly! But if it works well there is always a way -  protracted and expensive!

Edi,

Thanks for the info about the mod, I’ve heard the same about Hausken but have been told they don’t import it to England (ffs). I’d  e interested in how you get on with it when it arrives.👍

Any reticle in it?

Edi, what mod is it? I’m running the same barrel & calibre, but I’m having problems finding a decent mod that will fit over the barrel.

Sold

First refusal please, need to check what the one I have at home is, I need another.

How long are you away from home for?

Up for sale is my spuhr SP 4602 mount in black. In mint condition, comes in box with instructions, scope leveling wedge and new ring screws.

see links for more details:

£200 posted.

Try the 140 gr range, eld (x), Berger’s, scenar and Amax if you can find them. 

I’ve had better results with 140 than 130 but they are also worth a look.

Lowa boots all the way. Still got my lowa mountain boots, having worn out Burma pro's and a pair muckboots in the same time.

Used to have scarpa, but then they changed the quality of the leather and the newer ones didn't last 6 months of work!

Unfortunately the best boots I've ever had (still wearing!) are a bit bright for shooting! But still the most comfortable, waterproof and robust boots I've had.
