Ah, that's allright, we're used to everyone outside of Wicklow being made of sterner stuffNot not saying your cheek piece / lump of wood is not lovely Sparks......... but Down in Wicklow, specifically Rathdrum, people like a little bit more comfort!
Mind you... this is a few hours after the first time that cheekpiece was used in anger:
And it didn't go away until four days later. I think I'm going to be developing a pretty cool facial scar at this rate

After last weekends poor shoot, 590 yes, but (couldnt call the shots) and finding after getting up my anti-glare tube was loose which holds the Highend I thought I'd try it last night at 15yds in Comber!

My new rifle:
And packed for transport:
The test group is pretty nice too.
I picked up the rear sight today (thanks to the lads from Intershoot who supplied all the parts for the rifle) and got my first bit of training done in DURC. 99 and a 98 for a postal shoot. The 98 was a pretty sloppy one, so I'm confident I could easily bring up a point or two on that.
It's much easier to shoot 10s on the new rifle. I guess that's the best confirmation that the purchase was a worthwhile one! 0 -

Even Herself Indoors looked at that and went "Oooh, shiny!" That's one way of getting more firearms into the house. Make them pretty!
That second photo was not taken with a flash BTW.Is it not a pain to disassemble it so far every time you go training though? Or does it only get broken down for transport and live assembled in the safe?
If I've been training at home (SCATT, dry fire, etc), I leave the barrel & action in the stock and leave the buttplate carrier on. That way it actually reaches the foam bits in the safe to stand up properly. Otherwise, only the barrel & action go in the safe, it's not worth the effort to assemble it just for storage.
I'm getting a good bit quicker at assembling it though, so it's not too much of a chore.0 -
Very nice. I would wish you best of luck with her, but going by the test group its not needed.
One thing though, i cry about having to attach my bipod every time (FTR), how do you cope with assembling the rifle every time.

It's kinda freaky how much easier it is to get good 10s now. I mean, DURC's Walther KK200 which I was using before is a brilliant rifle and is well capable of shooting 600 in the right hands but this new one is way ahead of it!
I was saying to one of the guys in DURC today that if I was the kind of person to name a rifle, I'd call it The Unfair Advantage.One thing though, i cry about having to attach my bipod every time (FTR), how do you cope with assembling the rifle every time.
You get used to it. A good torque wrench is your friend! 0 -

....., I'd call it The Unfair Advantage.
Its like cheating ........................ , but not. :cool:You get used to it. A good torque wrench is your friend!
Was going to ask that. I use a torque wrench when setting the gun originally, but rarely if ever use it again. I presume its set to the same each time or do you find yourself "tweaking" it for different results? I know in Benchrest .22 different torque settings can make a huge difference when it comes to tens, but with the aperature sights would it make that much of a difference.
Ps - Excuse the newbie questions, but as you know i'm a spectator not a participant in prone shooting.Forum Charter - Useful Information - Photo thread: Hardware - Ranges by County - Hunting Laws/Important threads - Upcoming Events - RFDs by County

So far I haven't played with it, but I will in the future. For now, I'll stick with being consistent even if it's sub-optimal. I'm trying to change as few things as possible at a time.How has the SCATT been treating you??
I've had to fight with it a little. It works, kinda*, on Windows 7 running in VMWare on my laptop. I'm going to try it on Windows XP on my girlfriend's laptop to see if it works better on that.
* Occasional hangs for >30 secs - I suspect timing issues due to the drivers not playing well with USB via VMWare.0 -

I was in the range this evening. I started off with a group of 5 sighters just to warm up and all of them went in the 10 ring so I decided I'd shoot a card for DURC's internal "ladder" competition. That turned out as a 99 (7 decent 10s, 2 very squeaky 10s and a 9 that I called out just as I shot it) so I figured that I should really shoot my postal league cards.
They ended up as two 100s, like so:
So I'm pretty happy with that.
In total, 45 rounds used, 41 of which were 10s (I had a few dodgy sighters for the two postal league cards). 446/450 is almost a 595 equivalent, so I called it a day and headed off for beer and profiteroles. 0 -

Equipment mess-ups are a real pain though. Most frustrating thing is not being able to call the shots, so you start looking at everything you're doing, and messing with your head.
