  1. Seen it a few times now. Both 223 and 6.5 creedmoor Not in my rifle but in a mates after I collected his brass
  2. Decided to put my HIK Vulcan 15mm thermal spotter up for sale.Unit was bought 1st week of January this year, so has over 2 years of warranty left.Was bought initially with the thought that I would only be using it in woodland areas, but now helping a friend on more open land so I am needing to upgrade.Comes with box plus everything that came with it.Battery has never ran out on me yet and I've used it for more than 6 hours at a time.Will include a battery bank with the sale if asking price is met should the 6hr battery life not be sufficeThere is a small mark as pictured to the outer housing at the objective end. NOW SOLD
  3. I haven't tried they're standard bullet, so can't comment on its performance. Be a real shame if it does get dropped as my rifle really like it.
  4. I'm finding great results out of the SK match (the purple flat nosed version) in my Annie MSR. Halved the group size that Eley match were shooting at 100. I bought a brick of it to try and will stock up next time I get a chance. I don't normally take pics of groups, but had this from about a month ago trying out the SK match at 100. Slight breeze left to right. Target circle is 15mm
  5. My father inlaw has the GRS on his 243, and it does feel really nice in the hand. I went with the PSE to keep the weight down a bit for stalking and crosses over when I get to the range too. Probably the best stock I've used. I will be doing the same as yourself once I've shot this barrel out, and having it rebarrelled. I think I'll go with spiral fluting on the barrel and bolt when I get it done.
  6. I do load these long yes. Again yes I use an AICS type magazine. I have my varmint in a PSE Etac stock with Atlasworx bottom metal to take the magazine.
  7. Looks good that mate. Mine shoots the 77gr TMKs nicely too. Though mine is just a standard Varmint 223 in a PSE stock To be honest it shoots anything from 50gr Barnes TTSX, 55gr sierra gamekings to the 77gr TMK's hole in hole so long as I do my part. It was yourself that put me onto the 223 varmint/supervarmint
  8. Thanks Roy I ended up at 44gr and 0.030" off the lands. 3 rounds touching at 100 yards with zero pressure signs. I could go faster, but it already being accurate its good enough for my stalking rifle.
  9. Can anyone give me an idea on a start load for 6.5mm creedmoor using RS62 powder and a 120gr bullet please. The quickload we have here doesn't have the creedmoor on it. Thanks in advance
  10. Here's mine. First is a Tikka T3x Varmint in 1 of Edj's PSE Etac stocks (absolutely love this stock), and a lightened trigger. I use this for target and deer. Built up a load and when I do my part shoots hole in hole at 100. Attached picture is of my old man having a go. Next up is my new Anschutz 1761 Silhouette. Again a pic of my old man using and loving it. Seems to like SK match especially a distance up to 100. (haven't tried it further). The old man said he was getting bored shooting thru the same hole at his usual 22lr range of 25 yards so took it out further.
  11. Yep. Only the action is different. Looks like the barrel is the same too. Really happy with the way it shoots especially at distance
  12. Got this to have a go at some paper punching. Initial trials are proving fruitful with SK match. Though to be fair shooting at 100 yards in a breeze and 2 degrees with cold hands is never a good recipe for accuracy. Anschutz 1761 silhouette
  13. I'm finding SK standard match shoots really well out of my Anschutz 1761. Normally my go to round is Eley Club or Match, but the SK stuff is noticeably better. Especially at distance. Good thing is that it is nowhere near the price of Eley match. Fancy trying the SK long range next as it's meant to be great for longer shots obviously.
  14. Yea were going to order the Boyds Pro Varmint stock and open it up. Dad has a milling machine in the garage so we will just use a 20mm ballnose cutter and then finish using the sandpaper. The old man has stock oil there that we will use once finished to size.
  15. Think maybe a bit much to remove? It states 0.86" to 0.68" tapered, so would need to open up the whole channel to around 0.95" to suit the MPR barrel. Forget that. I'm pretty sure the stock could take a fair bit of removal after seeing the dimensions
  16. No joy with Boyds stocks, they only use sporter barrel type barrel channels. The barrel on the MPR measures 0.9" straight.
  17. Looking for some help here for my father. He has an Anschutz match 64 MPR and loves it and it shoots amazingly well. The only thing he isn't happy with is the stock. So has been looking for a replacement. So far the only thing he can see is a boyds stock that has the inlet to suit his rifle alas it doesn't seem to be available over here, looks to be the same issue with a MDT chassis that seems to be no longer making them to suit. Maybe someone knows somewhere that can get these in, or does anyone know if there is anything else available to suit. The rifle is used for target use only. Thanks all
  18. Had a play with 1 on my mates rifle a couple of weeks back. Was so impressed I'm ordering 1 for myself.
  19. Im with Baldie on this 1. I can't stand that guy and the way he goes about things. To say he lets his imagination run wild in his reviews is an undertatement.
