    Correct it is the SINCLAIR 3RD GENERATION F-CLASS BIPOD mounted to a Anshutz rail using a Sinclair Deluxe Bipod Rail Adapter.
    Bought from Sinclairs webstore.

    Got my .17 HRM back from Alan Carr after the bolt and trigger were playing up, outstanding work as always, got him to give it a good clean and lighten the trigger while he had it. Now shoots even nicer.

    Very nice, looking forward to seeing how you guys do with that at Seddon.

    What is the stock weight and all-up weight ?

    Suggest you fill the ears on the rear bag quite a bit more...

    You coming up for WRA Spring or Ladies Longs weekends ?

    My new bush rifle ruger M77 MK2 243 with a bushnell banner 3-9x40 going to replace with a VX1 and she will be all go ! Looking forward to getting it to the range before hunting ! Overall the gun is very tidy and looks great trigger will smoothed out by a gun smith when funds are available as its on the heavy side but should be sweet as !

    I had the exact rifle shot my 1st roaring stag with it , I wish I had never sold it .It was a good reliable rifle and with a trigger polish it was a top shooter. You won't go wrong with it mate ,oh I used a 4x fixed power leupold which suited it and kept the weight down.

    Haven't weighed it yet, but confident it'll be under the limit.
    Changed the scope to a 2nd Nightforce - the youngster is more than happy with that.
    We're running the barrel at the moment. 10 shots over 2 1/2 hours with lots and lots of cleaning between shots.

    The youngster isn't used to shooting from a standing position from a bench which might explain the vertical spread.
    Picture is rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise.
    The final shots were grouping at the top. Squares are 1" so about 1 MOA at 100 yards.
    155 gr projectiles, 46.3 gr 2208 in virgin Lapua Palma brass.

    How do you think it will do once the barrel is run in?

    Aiming to be there for the Ladies' Long. Might bring two rifles and two shooters.

    Sako A1 with an 18" criterion barrel, 1:8" twist .223. Factory stock (because lol custom rifles, had 2x High Tech Specialties go missing in the post). Action&floorploate and whatnot cerakoted in some kind of black colour. Factory front sight, factory Sako peep sight. Intended to be a light/short work gun. Heavier than intended because of the current stock (I'm now on the stug waiting list), and I think I need to a) get a new front sight blade as the current one is a bit fatter than I prefer, and b) have the front sight screw holes re-drilled as I might have beat them out of round a bit punching in the blade. Gonna shoot 77gr PMC match cos I have a bunch of it, until I can be bothered handloading the 70gr Barnes
