Thanks for reply , just looking at some reviews of both  . Got a night master 800 ir so would like something compatible to put on a 17 hmr or .223 . Got the drone on the hmr but a bit reluctant to swap it about too much and keep rezeroing . Wednesday nights foxing and Tuesday/ Thursday rabbit nights . Pard for hmr and drone on 223 might be the solution . 
 

happy new year to all

Hi all 

anyone got one of these , if so some real info on picture quality and ease of use would be much appreciated. 
Thanks in advance.

https://www.scottcountry.co.uk/tactical-equipment/shooting-tripod-systems/shadowtech-pig-rifle-tripod-system-ball-mount-and-/ very happy with this as I prefer alloy to carbon fibre .Holds an accuracy international at 308 easily . Pig saddle is all steel and I have one on both the shadowtech and a primos tripod . Steels heavier but very robust . Both tripods used regular for night shooting as can leave the rifle set up while scanning with a thermal . 
Have a great day cheers 

oh yes . Can’t anneal as don’t have an annealer . Looking at the results I would be happy with sub 10 sd 

Hi all 

was reading the Brian litz books regarding cases and accuracy and it seems not much difference after the first couple of firings for 308 etc . Regularily get upto 20 reloads in 308 then ditch the lot and buy new cases . You could get lots of new sets of cases for the price of an AMP . Only my take on things / opinion .

Merry Christmas and a happy new year to all 

Cost wise it’s 2041 rabbits shot in the last year and a half so £600 for 17 hmr against just over £200 if using the 22lr . That’s just one permission too . Still plenty to shoot . 

Trying this for the moment- very comfy . Cheapo 15mm pipe lagging 

Main reason for daytime .22 is it’s usually near to a local village so trying to keep things low key and it’s mostly ambush tactics on known warrens . I have plenty of time to laser range find and adjust for the shot . 17 hmr night shooting up on the dales so no problem with noise on skittish rabbits they also don’t know where the shots come from so they will stay out in the fields but soon get wary to the fact that numbers drop when bangs happen so next time they’re very wary of bangs . So can mix it up a bit with the 22 to take some rabbits but numbers still reduced without them running for cover after a bang . As stated this works for me and my situation . 
cheers 

Hi all 

ideal setup for me is daylight bunnies upto 100 yds = 22lr  anything over that and night gear is the 17 hmr to 140 yds and the odd close fox . Longer range fox will be a 223 eventually . 22lr in daylight doesn’t make too much noise to spook the bunnies but you do need to know the drops in the scope . Night time with the flat shooting hmr just need to get used to how big the bunny looks in the scope at effective ranges and adjust for a bit of wind . 
cheers 

Hi all 

big Fischer rawl plugs 125mm long and 14mm wide into breeze block with 10mm coach bolts worked for me  , 10 rifle Britton sound cabinet . Used metal wedges to keep it flat against the wall -    Very solid ...  considered drilling right through to outside and using threaded bar with square metal spreaders but not needed in the end . Think someone used Velcro ie totally cover rear of cabinet and wall area with the sides of industrial Velcro - you won’t get it off if you don’t get it spot on first time  . Used the glue systems at work and these are very strong indeed . 
cheers

Thanks for info . Currently using drone pro 10 and am looking for something with similar image quality but in thermal version. Got an xq38 spotter and although great for spotting it’s no where near good enough to see the difference between a rabbit or a hare or a farm cat v foxy . Was hoping the better resolution of 640 x? Would make the difference  . Seen the videos and still think the thermal s have a lot to be desired. Aiming at a hot blob isn’t the right thing to do , still need to know what it is . The depth / distance perception seems very flat too . Cheers 

Hi all 

Anyone using a T-Ceptor 75-3 or 75-6 . Videos on t web look ok but would like honest real use info . Rather pricey but much better picture quality than my thermal spotter .

That scope is a Schmidt and Bender PM11 3-20X50 

 

my favourite scope so far having owned the 5-20X50 ulra short and 5-25X56. 
 

I still own a 4-16X50 as well, which if it wasn’t for the reticle would be my favourite as it’s so simple. It doesn’t even have illumination!!!

 

next scope will be a kahles but undecided between the 3-18 or 5-25. 

Thanks for info . Love the ultra short non illuminated- very good p4 fine ret  and my big 3-27x56 .  Might consider the 3-20 for the next rifle (223) . Enjoy and stay safe cheers 

Thanks for sorting my confusion out . Didn’t know of rps just though it might be a typo. Anyway lots of nice stuff to look at on Tweb . Lovely set up there  . What range is the scope pls . Cheers Rich 

Sorry but bubble is too close for my old eyes  . Also shooting left handed so can use the indicator to show up in my periferal vision  and when it’s green let it go     Boom 

Don’t forget a spuhr mount , if you haven’t got a canted rail spuhr do mounts with it built in . With the wedge you’ll get a flat mount in the mount if all’s good everything will be square . Try a long range arms electronic level too very nice toy to make sure your totally flat before sending the shot 

Nice one fella , you won’t regret it  . Enjoy 

Hi again 

just some info regarding StrelokPro , we were quite a bit out in calibration to start with so went back to basics, chrono the bullets then be careful to put in correct weather conditions . Then shoot a known distance 300 m and do a tune  noting bullet actual drop with StrelokPro on the bc setting as already got a correct speed reading , after that things went really well  . Good quality bullets make the difference .  300 win mag with Berger 185 jugs work well to the mile .  7 or 6.5 x 284 are the new boy with some of our club members and  make the 308 look like a shotgun . Cheers 

Once we got mates rifle tuned in with StrelokPro he was hitting gongs regular out to 1400 . Made a thousand look easy compared to my 308s big loopy trajectory. I was spot on upto 1000yards with the 308 in 175 grain Berger lrbt but was only doing 2600 ish FPS the target at 1020 was very difficult to hit . 

End of barrel is definitely 18x1.5 right hand thread . Just checked with digi callipers and end of brake is also 18x1.5 left hand thread . 17.93 mm if want to be picky . 
Cheers 

Stick with the creed , my mates bergara is great to 1400 yards when we did the old eskdalemuir range  , struggled with the mile tho . He got a 338 for the mile . 

Try the applied ballistics website . Got the full pack from the USA , rather pricey but very informative . Think the people who import March scopes used to have them on the web page . 
Cheers

Hi there 

I have a pm 2.  3-27x56 in p4fine ret and wish the lrr ret was available when it was bought . P4 f does cover a lot of the target at high mag . Msr ret has a good measuring grid to use to make your adjustments with if you don’t have a spotter  . 
MSR or LRR looks the way forward , don’t rule out the grid type tho . Have a look at THLR on YouTube on his scope reviews early in his series of vids 

cheers
