geek replied to Jet flint's topic in Varmint Rifles & Heavy Plinkers
I agree, expensive but worth it, I have one in my AT. -

This may help to explain the unavailability: Marlin Archives - Rimfire Magic What about this, but it is £700 Rossi 38/357 Stainless Carbine s/n SK128908 – AA Gunsmiths in Skegness Lincolnshire (aandagunsmiths.co.uk) -
Agreed, I bought one. Thought it was best to have it professionally installed, so I had mine fitted by baldie (Valkyrie Rifles) on here. Excellent service, not too expensive to be fitted (well worth the cost). Using the normal spring (not the lighter one) out of the box with no other adjustments made it was 1.75lb trigger pull.

hmm good ol Tony Blair .......whoops I mean Sir Tony .
geek replied to One on top of two's topic in General Discussion
Over 400,000 and rising have had their say, however, I agree it will accomplish nothing other than to to let them know that the masses are pissed off that the scumbag Blair has been knighted. -

geek replied to One on top of two's topic in General Discussion
Just shows how out of touch politicians are with the views of the electorate by giving any award to Blair (who should be tried for war crimes and he is a traitor to the UK)! There are numerous petitions on that site with the same subject, that petition is currently at 434,238 signatures and rising! -
It is actually a fishing coaster, just search for them on Amazon, although the links above is a good price for two. My son and I use these on our S&B PM II

SORTED PLEASE DELETE

I know Daryl (excellent shooter [he also shoots for Accuracy Internal in the .50 cal competition in the USA]), he is (now) in the heavy gun class for benchrest (now shoots a 6BRA). In fact, I am now using the front sled in that picture on my AT. Daryl's 6BRA managed a sub one inch group at 600yards which earned the Screamer patch at Diggle. -

Interested in how an AI can complete in factory benchrest (since until the new AT-X, they didn't make their own barrels). I shoot at Diggle and all AIs are in either light gun or heavy gun, the only AI which will be allowed to compete in the factory class if the new AT-X. -

AT isn't available from the factory with a 6.5CM barrel, although I am sure that someone like Sporting Services (Accuracy International - Rifles – Sporting Services) or Valkyrie Rifles (Valkyrie | Performance Rifles Home (valkyrierifles.net)), would provide one with a non factory 6.5CM barrel. AT308 (accuracyinternational.com) However, the new AT-X is available from the factory with a 6.5CM barrel. -
Agreed does seem quite expensive (especially compared to the TriggerTech in my Remington 700), although is it easy to fit at home? However, by the time I have travelled and paid someone to adjust my trigger, it may be easier to fit the AT trigger.

Is this more a local force making up its own rules?

I have a 2014 AT and am considering having my trigger lightened. What is the pull on the new AI Competition Trigger? Thank you.

I have a Remington 700, .223 (in an MDT stock) with a 20 inch barrel and I use the following (works in my rifle, don't now about yours): Lapua brass; CCI 400 primer; 69gr Sierra Matchking bullet; 25grains of Vihtavuori N140; The above gives an average of 2811 ft/s You could start the load development from here: Rifle reloading data | Handloading | Rifle calibers | Centerfire Rifle bullets | Reload your own ammo - Vihtavuori For comparison, using the above components but with different power weights, I obtained the following velocity on my chronograph: 24ge=2683ft's 24.5gr=2758ft/s 25.5=2847ft/s I have shot this rifle/load out to 600 yards.

What high BC bullet for a Howa 1500 1:9 twist 223
geek replied to Nun_hunter's topic in Varmint Rifles & Heavy Plinkers
Usual disclaimer rules apply, i.e. this works in my rifle (Remington 700 SPS with 20 inch barrel (1 in 9 twist), Triggertech trigger (1.5lb) and MDT stock ). I use 69gr Sierra Matchking, Lapua brass and 25grs of Vihtavuori N140 and shoot out out to 600 yards, velocity at barrel is 2811ft/s (average). For comparison (using Vihtavuori N140 (measured using my chronograph): 24grs = 2683ft/s, 24.5grs = 2758ft/s and 25.5grs = 2847ft/s A couple of images from the load development and a 600 yard benchrest competition (using a bipod). As can be seen the average velocity for 5 shots at 600yards at the target was 1421ft/s. There is someone at Diggle who used a Remington 700 .223 (AI chassis) to shoot the 1000yard benchrest competition (factory class) last year and won their class on the day. -
Agreed, I would recommend them for all shooting items and I doubt that you will find the same cheaper anywhere else. Wish I was aware of them when I started shooting, would have saved a lot of money.
