6mmBR Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Just a thanks to Neil aka Dasherman and the lads of the Dorset Rifleman for making me so welcome. I had popped up to collect a rifle from Neil and he said there was a shot on Sunday so it would be rude not to go. It was one of their F class league competitions held at Bisley to be shot over 300, 500 and 600 yards, with 2 sighters and ten to count. I hadn't shot at Bisley since university so it was a treat and a good excuse to test the Kelbly out. The weather was lousy with heavy rain, although we did manage a few dry moments.The wind was not to bad 8-9 mph coming from 7 o'clock, so didn't have a huge effect. I really enjoyed it, especially when my first shot at 600 yards went right in the center of the V bull. I was pleased to finish on 150 with 23V. A great day and I'll definetly go back especially when they shoot at 1000 yards. Thanks guys for a great day, I think I've finally dried out.

6mmBR Posted January 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Good luck getting invited back if you're going to shoot like that again! What's the rifle? Cheers, I was well pleased with the result. The rifle was built by Kelbly and is based on a Stolle F class action with a 30" Krieger barrel in 6.5-284 it is bedded in a Mc Millan McHale stock. It was its first trip out and hasn't got a hundred rounds under its belt yet so I was chuffed how well it performed. Cheers Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1967spud Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 Do you still have the rifle Dave? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6mmBR Posted January 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 Do you still have the rifle Dave? Yes I do Just wears a proper stock I've kept the Mchale for varminting. It is also my switch barrel and I have .284 Shehane and 6x47 Lapua barrels for it. Cheers Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orka Akinse Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 Dave Do you rate that bench its sat on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6mmBR Posted January 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 I have had the bench for years now and it was an excellent investment. I use it regularily for varminting an much better than lying in the muck zeroing rifles on the farm. Also great for a bit of mobile varminting Cheers Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
