  1. If anyone has one of these they might sell could they let me know. I have seen two one In MRAD one mm/Mtr but I really want MoA. Not overly fussy on any of the three reticles available on thi model. All of them are illuminated. With respect please don’t bother offering any substitutes I have seen this scope up close and it is what I want. £500-£550 seems to cover the s/h market, mint, boxed with accessories. Thanks
  2. Thank you so much for your comments and observations very useful.

    it has just been a really frustrating time and as I shoot a lot of calibers compatible with N140 (.308/.223/.303) and as mentioned I use RS52 for LR.308.

    Trouble is availability and pricing and a lot of the better powders being banned under REACH. N140 and H4350 covered 90% of needs. I am keen club shooter but not committed enough to have lots of stock and that thing where you load a batch shoot 75% at a comp, get decent ‘dope’ and then can’t repeat the load to match the remaining 25% let alone the same batch! I have loaded 60 .260 on a researched load using 120 SMK’s reduced 5% from the quoted load. I was hoping someone with access to QL might run some numbers for me. Just bought a TAC A1 in 6.5C so now the fun really starts as these seem to run best on ‘fairy dust’!😂

  3. Thanks JCS. I had consulted with the Vht site, it still lists N140 for 120’s anything to 25/2600 is more than enough to take me to 600 yards or poss 8-900 at a push. Vht is widely available but I have worked up loads with various powders over the last few years and get settled in one and then it isn’ t available or out of stock and you have to wait for a Bisley or other trip in the hope of finding something! Further comments and direct experience welcome. 

  4. With all the caveats about other people loads and work ups, not being blasé but taken as said. No liability.

    With the restricted supply of many powders I have stocked up on 5kg of VhtN140 and, for better or worse I am going to standardise on the for all but LR (600yds plus) which is R52 in a TRG22 .308. I already have dope for .308/.223 & .303 for N140 but my favourite rifle to shoot is a .260 Tikka T3 24” in an MDT chassis. I shoot either Lapua 123g or Sierra  MK’s 120g. Can anyone give me some guidance if the have use N140 for .260 and their findings. Miss H4350...a lot!

  5. I have for sale, due to a change in direction, a Tikka TacAI in 6.5 Creedmore with a 24” barrel. All the accessories are still in their original oiled bags and, apart from proof firing, the gun remains unfired, obviously it still has the original box. I will offer with it 100 Lapua SP cases and an unused LEE Ultimate four die Set. The foregoing on offer for £1650 buyer to pay RFD transfer costs. Given the lock down and restrictions at FAO’s in processing variations etc i will hold on an agreed deposit. I understand that the 24” barrel option is not currently available from GMK, but can’t confirm.
