  1. I use Lapua brass, Lapua 139 Scenars, Vit N160, with the load different dependent upon which rifle. AI AT: 43.6 gr of Vit 160 with Federal large primers Ruger Precision Rifle: 41.5 gr of N160 with CCI 400 primers (small primers) Final load will all depend on your rifle, have a look here: https://www.vihtavuori.com/
  2. Try Fox Firearms UK, based at Diggle range (Fox Firearms UK). Look at their 8x32x56 scope. I purchased one of these while waiting for my S&B to arrive a few years ago. Used the Fox's scope to shoot out to 900yards and someone at the club uses the same scope to shoot out to 1000 yards. In my opinion for the price (paid £125 for mine but that was a while ago). I keep mine as a spare. This is an article by Vince Bottomley using the Fox's scope when mounted on my AI as a comparison against two more expensive scopes.

  3. I had an AUG .223 (paid about £1000 or just under for the standard rifle circa 2013/2014). Low Mill Ranges (http://lowmillranges.co.uk/) did all the needed upgrades (Trigger Tamer, extended charging handle, barrel release button, etc.). I part exchanged it for a Remington 700 .223 in an MDT chassis. I received about £900 for the rifle including all the upgrades, moderator, magazines, etc, as a part exchange.

    Which powder?

    The first target was just showing the three shot group after I had worked the load up. I was lucky to get a still day, the top group was shot at 100 yards off a bipod..

    Which powder?

    I use Vihitauori N140 with Sierra Matchking bullets in my Remington 700 .223. I have shot these out to 600 yards.
  7. Thank you. I have responded to the 'consultation', I do hope that many other shooters do too.
  8. Some clubs may have an insurance limitation for junior shooters. The first club I joined if I recall correctly the minimum age was 14.
  9. Trying to find Berger 185 Juggernauts, may as well try to find a unicorn. I used to use Berger 185 Juggernauts in my AI, however, they became impossible to find and the 185 Lapua are just not as good.
  10. I am using N160, Laupa brass (small primer for the Ruger PR and large primer for my AI), with Lapua 139gn bullets.
  11. Agreed, it is because the Rimfire Magic operates with a last round bolt open which doesn't work with this trigger.
