As John MH has mentioned there isn’t many cases in the uk you would have to change your firing solution drastically to still achieve an impact. I have shot at vallhalla just testing targets and positions and the change was not enough to make a miss if I held low part of plate, I have always been a firm believer of use the force (instinct) and apply it to your situation and your firing point. I would like some more time at vallhalla to really get first hand experience at advanced angle shooting and really learn more but until then drop a click or two or indeed hold low and use the force you won’t go wrong.

AR 223 set up
joshmartin8 replied to joshmartin8's topic in For Sale (Free Adverts for Private Secondhand Items only)
Yes correct, it can be sold with carbon upper only for the same price, it did very well in the csr I used it for, it’s a very well balanced rifle and perfect for CSR -
I have a setup that I rarely use anymore, 1x1in12 18inch upper, la rue fore end on a SGC upper straitpull, a tec suppressor, round count would be a guess at 1600. a tec sound mod 1x1in8 carbon fibre barrel upper, 18 inch, load dev done and then a range day and a round of csr and that’s it, so 400 rounds say, lower is a southern gun, hogue grip , magpul prs adjustable rear stock, AR comp GOLD trigger unit-absolutely amazing, im looking to sell as a package but possibly split if required, 07772108962 numerous mags and bits, £1600 takes the lot,

PRL 2019 - What Calibre, Action/Chassis and Optic
joshmartin8 replied to John MH's topic in Tactical
Hey guys, good discussion going on. Here is my little 2pence worth of what i have experienced. The 6.5s is where its at, especially when we go to some where like orion where we have a few stages at least 1000yards. i have been using the 6.5 creed to very good success, i am tempted to push a bit more powder and go for a 260 or 260 ai something like that but after reading a few of those posts i do totally agree your misses are normally down to you. your stability and your shakes. not your load. I do however disagree that weight is the way forward. i have been running my carbon barrels on a tikka action in an XLR carbon stock all season so ide safely say its one of the lightest rigs and that didn't give me any issues what so ever. lots of thoughts and ideas on what to do to improve for next year so keep the good discussion going guys.

Hi guys, Sorry i have been off the radar for a year or so due to some unfortunate family issues, I am now however fully back on the shooting scene, Back with a bang and properly jumping into the carbon fibre barrel project where i took off. I am fully kitted and ready to start availability of button and cut barrels. The results have proven themselves with both of the C2 prototype barrels in the 308 and Ar 223. Good few thousand of rounds have been shot in both over the last two years. 308- - Top spot twice at the roundhouse challenges - Won the 308 class at the RBL at Bisley. 223- Sadly didn't get much chance to do more - but did come top in one match and near the top in two matches at the winter CSR league at Bisley. With the 2019 Precision rifle league starting soon i will be entering with a tikka tac a1, with C2 precision carbon 24'' barrel. Hopefully do well with that rifle if its a shooter like my last two have been. Many thanks to the smiths involved and who helped me out with what i have done so far. C2 precision will be a sponsor for the league also. Looking forward to seeing any of you who i haven't met yet. Prices will be published to the trades in a few weeks and availability will be full steam ahead from February onwards. Any questions or discussions welcome Josh

My new AI AE MK3 in .308 finished load development and ballistics now just to get out and use her, hoping for some long range fun with this beauty with good results.
