The Gun Pimp

I'd be happy to give you trade plus postage for the 300 Berger 105gn Hybrids. PM me on targetshooteronline@icloud.com

Hi Gazzar - email me on vince.bottomley@pssa.uk

Fox Firearms sell a really good one made from slippery plastic - costs about £20

Nice rifle Chris. We've started shooting 100 yd rimfire BR at Diggle and it's proving quite popular. Shot against one of your other BR rifles at Gelston last Sunday - have you given up on benchrest?

Lawrence - if you're intending to shoot at Diggle you won't get any complaints re your brake, mod or whatever. However, some comps - namely F Class - don't allow brakes.

OK - well come up for a chat sometime and talk about what you want to shoot/buy.

Lawrence - as you are based in Manchester, you are not too far from Diggle Ranges. WE shoot most rifle disciplines. have a look at our website www.diggleranges.com and if you like what you see PM me on vince.bottomley@pssa.uk to arrange a visit and all your questions will be answered.

As far as I know, Gary at gcostello@pbs-int.co.uk still has some.

Hey - you beat Darrel so a good day.........

Working back from your terminal vel. at 1000 yds my ballistic app gives a velocity of 2801 fps at 100 yds and a muzzle velocity of 2976 fps - which sounds about right Matey.

We're not closed but you are correct - there does seem to be an issue - happens from time to time. We'll try and sort it ASAP Vince

Done

Quite a few of us are waiting for 'the day'.

Nick, Why not just go on the Swiss website (Google it) - starting loads for 6BR with 105gn bullet and RS52 are listed.

If you are wanting to buy a new one you could try North West Custom parts - Wayne did have a couple.

ds1 (forum member) does an excellent rear bag that ticks all your boxes 'quietman'. I've been using one for a couple of years - best I've used - not too heavy or large - just right.

Thanks John - a bit different from the BAIRS page!

Wow - that's an amazing Facebook page.............

Do they (GBPRA) have a website or Facebook page - I'm struggling to find one.

Thank you for the replies/clarification. So it's all about the GBPRA right? Is this 'body' approved/affiliated to the NRA? We went through a similar 'rift' in the early days of the UKBRA - very difficult to form breakaway organisations as international shoot organisers will normally only deal with associations affiliated to their national body (the NRA). If the GBPRA is affiliated to the NRA then surely it must hold an AGM - the place to sort things out.

Wow - I'm a bit gobsmacked! When I first saw Long Range Captain's post on the PR World Championships I didn't even click on it - why would I - I don't shoot PRS. I'd love to if I were a bit younger though. But, then I read through 60+ mainly negative posts. What is the matter with PR shooters? Surely this is a fantastic opportunity to get your discipline recognised internationally - not to mention the fun of taking part in an overseas international event. My sport is rather less strenuous - Benchrest - but I've had the pleasure of representing the UK at many world championships - it's taken me to New Zealand, France, Austria, Italy, America, Spain, Sweden - I've had some great times and made some great friends. It's not just about pulling a trigger! Guys - if you don't want to compete - fine - it's not compulsory but please, give it a chance - don't rubbish something before it even takes place.

To be honest it's just a fun gun - I use it (with others who have 'em) on steel plates. Mine's a 3 inch barrel.

Nope - I've never used lead bullets in mine. FMJ are clean and quick to reload - I can reload mine in 90 secs including cleaning chambers and pricking flash-holes.

Just use jacketed bullets!

OK - 53 MOA - half that and add 20MOA for the tapered rail - leaves you around 47 MOA - which should be plenty to get you out to 1000 yards from 100 yd zero. I can only think that you are using a lot of adjustment just to get a 100 yd zero and there is not enough left for 1000 yds, With a 6.5 Swede and a 140gn bullet doing 3000fps you should only need about 25 MOA frpm 100 to 1000 yds. Something is clearly amiss. Obviously you can't check at the moment but when you can, zero the rifle at 100 yds - then see how much MOA you have left - note you need to be watching the reticle move as you count the clicks - you might be able to keep 'clicking' after the ret. has stopped moving.
