The local authority where I am wants it fixed to the property...

This includes the FLOOR, all 3 off mine are fixed to the plasterboard just for support but bolted into the floorboards with massive self tapping speed bolts

Ah -  wondered as all the MoD sites are shut
Only issue I had with Braidwood was the "target" aiming point was a 10" ragged hole as they refused to replace the aiming centre & did not allow folk to put up their own zero targets
Nice site aside from that - helped them out a couple of times on the clay days
Used to be about the same distance for me as Castlelaw,  but less risk of fog/rain/A720 snafu's

....and try the lowest foresight on the SMLE
Will see if I can find notes on which one was the default install size

I'm lucky enough, 20 min from blairddam, 45 to Castlelaw, 2hrs to bloody Bisley though

No targets where injured in making this day 

Thats my moto

Just contacted Helen at Gardners gun to see about becoming a member there. 

Really quick in replying and as helpful as can be. 

Looking forward to trying out the ranges over the next couple of months

I'm heading for my first time in November Colin.

If your there that day your welcome to use my .223 or .308 on the day, although the .223 is a work in progress. Drop me a pm if so

I'm booked in for my first visit in November.. can wait

Calling all vintage shooters.

I bought myself a mk3* at the start off lockdown and took it out a few weeks ago to discover that a 100yard zero was achieved by setting the sights at 400yards much to @Bond Villain disgust when i took out his target frame. Among inspection at home i noticed it had a no4 front post so I bought a set off proper smle ones.

At the range today I had to set the trangent sight to 1000 to get on target at 100. .. I am going to swap the front post to the smallest ones that came but I wonder if the increments from largest to smallest would really make that much off a poa difference.  First shot today was approaching 30" low at 100.

Any ideas if there could be more at play folks ???

Arrived today Bob

Thanks

Just as well; sounds a little harsh, even if they do fill the place up with excessive amounts of smoke

Smoke junkies looking down on us smokeless savages..

Good thread on slugging the bore..

With the range closures I haven't been able to pinch 2 balls off the black powder boys to use 

Jeso I thought this reloading cast would be easy lol..

Who os dodgyrog? Any affiliation to shellhouse ?.. I emailed them a week ago with zero response so they can manage without my purchases

Sfp as you need a fine cross hair ( imagine trying to see a target at 1000yards with a magnified reticle) and definitely moa turrets for fclass.. like popsbengo said, its a known distance with rings at moa spacings so hold over is easy regardless off magnification used..

That's my penny's worth

Upgraded.. comes with UTG mounts,  pretty sure i still have the caps in a box

Concur, but the inference was no hard/hardened cast bullets - period 😉

That what I took away from the statement....

The die arrived Terry, wife found it in the bottom off the post box today.

" Similar to Hornady A-Tip in style but much cheaper. "

What sort of price are the 155's? I can't find any pricing on the website.

Send Peter an email, he usually responds very quickly.  I wouldnt want to give you the wrong cost.
