Farley all the way for this project Vince…. James has been a gent and sorted me out…. Thanks James

Hello

yes, I have a Seb mini that is available.

only used once or twice, under cover for Benchrest, so never got wet or exposed to the elements.

Is this of interest to you?

Thanks

Bruce

Is it still available. With shipping to USA. 

Hi, is the Farley rest still for sale?

Thanks

Bruce

Scope arrived today, perfect condition, just as described and a pleasure to deal with.....

Thank you!

Would you take £1000?

Thanks

Bruce

Thanks for all your helpful comments and suggestions folks.

I've got a stash of CCI-BR2 primers and some H4831SC, so that will be my starting combo.

Thanks

OK folks, some advice needed.....

Best Primers for a Straight 284Win using H4831SC, what are people using, standard or magnum?

Also any preferred brands, I have CCI BR-2, Fedral Magnum or Standard at my disposal.

Many thanks in advance

Bruce

Hi All

Given that H4831SC is not available anymore, I need some pointers on powder for a 284Win....... 30 inch barrel, good custom action etc etc

180gr Berger VLD's will be the bullet of choice...

Options are N165 or N560, what's people's thoughts.......

Quickload says I will get more speed and less pressure with the N560, I know that 5 series powders may eat barrels, but that aside what are people's real world experiences of either powder?

Thanks

Bruce

Vince himself said on here that 100yd BR numbers were around 20 and not growing, why is that?

Bradders, that is possibly because people "incorrectly" portray shooting disciplines of which they know very little about as being X, Y & Z, quite often these portrayals are less than favourable.

That in itself makes it very hard to attract new blood to any discipline, before you even go to the expense of organising matches, training sessions, taster days etc ect....

We are all shooters after all and maybe, just maybe we should be trying to help the sport of shooting "Wholesale", rather than just trying to score cheap points against sections of our own community........

Yes, I'm a benchrest shooter, I make no bones about that, but the amount of complete and utter twoddle I hear talked about the discipline is just ridiculous and yes it sure is harder to convince someone to give it a go, when they have had their head filled full of rubbish in advance of ever trying it.

So I speak from some experience. 

Scotch Egg.....

The cups on the feet of the bipod attached to the rifle in your picture, where did you get them from.

Tried searching for ages for these and could not find them.

Thanks in advance

Bruce
