Uuuhhhh

the bit about Tiff leaving and when, thats the outstanding bit for me

Well i’ve had a chat with @Guerrier Weg and the situation with  Tiff’s resignation from IPRF 2 weeks ago has been explained to me. Thanks. I’m still convinced a formal announcement will do more good than harm considering the history of Tiffs antics but thats up to the committee, I've put my view across and i hope it was useful to hear.

You haven’t seen any transparency? Really? What’s not been answered?

I didn’t say it wasn’t coming. It’s just not been issued yet. It doesn’t change any facts though, Tiff has resigned and the search for a new Secretary has started.

Why is this so important to you, Gary? I don’t get why it’s turned in to such a big deal and has been the subject of 10+ memes. Have we not all got better things to do?

For me I guess its just a hangover from my day job, i have to have a questioning attitude and pull on threads or go down rabbit holes. I pointed out previously that transparency would benefit you, i havent seen any as yet but if Tiff has gone, and people more in the know than me seem to think not looking at the Bairs posts, why not do it properly? If you want call me, my numbers fairly easy to get.

Tiff treated a lot of people badly, people have long memories.

Direct message me at the GBPRA Facebook  page if you’d like to discuss anything  further. 

 

Lapua… please DM me at the GBPRA Facebook page if you would like to discuss further. Hell, I’ll even jump on a zoom call with you over a beer if it will help me get a message across that I and my colleagues at the GBPRA and IPRF are doing this for the love of the sport of Precision Rifle! There is no hidden agenda. No secret master plan!

Might just do that, but i still dont understand why you promised an official announcement in this thread and wont give one? Surely when a senior active member of a global federation resigns there must be some form of formal announcement and their role must be filled, not just have their name removed in the last few days and no explanation given. Perhaps you should clarify when involvement ceased to everyone, and as i said before.

@Brushyimagine the state of Johns table 😂

You continue to demonstrate that your only interest is trying to undo the good work of the IPRF and the GBPRA. The precision rifle community has moved on, demonstrated by the tumble weeds that blow through the BAIRS page. You really should move on from whatever it is that caused you to have such a cynical, pessimistic and destructive attitude towards good people undertaking selfless endeavours.

Keeping picking faults if you wish but I’ll reserve answering anymore questions for GBPRA members and those with a genuine interest in the answers.

(Queue another round of paranoia fuelled memes…)

I have a genuine interest in the answers and also the growth of the sport and success of GBPRA and IPRF, so please give them, after all you have signed up with 2 accounts recently to engage with the members here and also benefit from the free contact with the UK precision rifle enthusiasts that frequent this forum. I think thats fair, don’t you? I really can’t see what the issue is with Transparency. Im not trying to undo your good work, simply trying to find out the current and future extent of Tiffs involvement.

Any news on the official statement about Tiff leaving IPRF? I see the Bairs mob are getting pretty excited about a pack of sandwiches and a fruit shoot.

Hi

Further to Tim’s comments above, I can add that Tiff is no longer involved in the IPRF. Should be an official statement shortly, websites updated, etc.

Thanks for the clarification, that should see to the end of the less funny memes!

in all seriousness, keep up the good work, im enjoying the pr22 and hope to return to the centrefire scene when the comps dont clash with my personal commitment's, more comp days  and less training days is the way to grow it, imvho.

Are GBPRA or IPRF going to make a statement about tiff dews involvement as this seems to be the fuel for a lot of the BAIRS memes? Clarity on this would be beneficial…

I beg to differ I have fitted a Pard 007A and Archer onto the back of a Polar 97 with very good result, in fact its the best scope that I have fitted a NV add on, it beats Hawke Sidewinder, Sightron 2.2-17 x56 ,Element Helix ,MTC viper and Rudolph scopes.

Have you actually fitted a add on to a S&B polar 97?

The field of view and clarity of the picture with the Polar is superior to the above mentioned scopes which are regarded as the to go too scopes with add-on NV.

this has been my experience too, high end scopes schmidt, swaro, zeiss, NF all work brilliantly with add ons. lots of people say they don't because of hearsay and urban myth generated on forums by people who cant afford decent kit. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with using cheaper scope with NV but its wrong to discount the good ones and say they don't perform, when the actually do, really well.

Bit lighter than the 5x25x56 and 3x27x56, so think I will have a gander, at the P5FL .👍 i will enquire  on price aswell.

see if they'll let you take one over to the ZCO stand for a comparison. you could bash them together and see which one comes out on top

Less than 1 minute on my blaser. And it returns to zero perfectly

Yes, had it about 6 months now.

What scope did you settle on? High mag March?

Gents, what red dots are you running on your PRS rigs next to your main optics? 
 

also some pictures or various mounting options would be good to see.

looking to mount one on a sphur mount next to a pmii 3-20x50

cheers

It cost £2000.00 all in, including a 2 stage triggertech diamond trigger and one magazine 

long wait though - 8 months 

im doing similar with a borden alpine creedmoore and a bergara b14r with a triggertech, same MPA chassis though. hope to do a bit more ammo teting this week. not as gucchi as yours but similar accuracy.

Hi @No i deer with 2 holes touching I would guess it should measure at lease .2” centre to centre as @Silvermachinehas said given that’s the diameter of the bullet. 0.137 would be over a half lapping hole/ near single hole?

i didn't want to mention that!😆

I shot about 5 groups yesterday with the eley match..

not shot it for several months now.. the match still shot well but i didnt quite steer it as I can..

Had 1 on most groups just leak out the edge.. the rest of the group was pretty decent.. some were 8 shot groups instead of 5..

I forgot and deleted the few photos I took..

It was good to shoot the quiet gun again 😁

How big are your groups?
