Fair call, lack of sleep makes me silly!:P
Thanks for replies lads:thumbsup:
Yes you are quite right i have dialed in .308 them zeroed to give you the true group size!!
The rifle used to make me smile , especially when i would turn up to a shoot and they would look as if to say " whats that heavy looking piece of crap " , then it would shoot groups like this!!!
Location for the picture was at a place in Wales called WMS which has lots of life size bunnie / crow / fox / deer etc targets = a great day out!!!
Some more pics of venue -- engaging targets 500-700yds

Another pic of shooting at the figure 11s at 1017yds...

Bloody great fun as conditions were near perfect witha 3-5mph wind - first round at 1017yds hit centre of figure 11 then next 10 shots was on head of figure 11 ( my good mate Martin was using a TRG in 7.62-51 and was doing the same )
There was a bunnie target face on profile that we managed to hit twice in 10 rounds too!!
The barrel looks real fat but its a aluminum barrel shrould over the target barrel - obviously works well:)
Have had some cracking long range shots on varmints too with this rifle!!:)
Speer 130 HP - Bunnies

Any one used these - seem to be reasonably priced for a starter ?

I tried them but wasn't happy with how they shot in my rifle so never tried on game

There certainly is a case for that. Target shooters used smle and no4s so thats 303 then moved to 308. 303 mil surp was dirt cheap, barrels apparently $5 for 10 lots sold in NZ ex-army. Lots of enfields converted to sporting, mostly ruined the accuracy in the process mind you. I must admit I love my n04 its very handy to say the least, a great battle rifle certianly it leaves the nagant for dead. The 30-06 still seems to be a big seller in the US but 308 seems popular, again cheap, as is the russian mil surp, 54R....I get the distinct impression dirt cheap counts for a lot.Quote:

You only got them when you were posted to Singas or Malaya and I can't get any more so I have a grudge against anything with plastic tips. (My waistline also expanded around that time too;))Quote:

It is also shooting 200gn Lapua subsonics well (1040fps) and stabilized them even below 900fps.
