    Velocity is thrilling,but diameter does the real killing.

    Centre is a 527 in 223 with set trigger. Shoots PPU 1/2" @ 100m with 2.5-8x36 VX3
    Bottom is a 452 in 22LR. Shoots Win 1" @ 50m with open sights

    I think all have nice wood. None of that yellow looking wash and no grain that seems to be around
    All are date stamped with the same year

    @LOC the 550 & 527 are metal. The 452 (.22) is a matt plastic which is I suppose is due to cost cutting to meet the market. If they did make them in metal I would'nt mind tracking one down. Maybe the one off the 527 will fit? I'll give it a go!

    Not a new rifle but she has a new dress.

    A Stug carbon fiber one.

    Picked the stock up on Saturday morning from Stugs place. Weather has been poos since I arrived home from work, so I only managed to shoot with it on, the last couple days.

    Very happy with it.
    As I carry it when hunting she has lost over a pound. Weighs just under 7 lbs with sling and cheek thingy.

    7.5 lbs when set up as LR with HD 5 and DPT suppressor on.
    When setup as .223 she is 7.3lbs.

    Zero was no change from old stock and bang on. She shot as good if not better than normal.
    Only 500ish grams lost but it is really quite noticeable.

    Cheers @stug very impressed and happy. Hope to blood it after the weekend.



    Rifle as carried and capable out to 250m due to optics and thick German 4 ret.


    30 secs later and she is ready to shoot 3 times the distance.
    Could stretch it way further but HD zero stop restricts me to 750m.

    Finally have an accurate subsonic load for the .260 Ackley sorted as well, however it may only be good for head/neck shots due to projectile.
    1060fps. Has 4fps ES Shoots a ragged hole at 50 and around an inch at 100. Need 6MOA to reach 100 from 50.
    Will try and take an animal with it soon.

    Great to see the 7x64 gaining a bit of popularity here, I love mine.

    Choice rifles, would love to find a fs for mine.

    Dont waste your time chasing every last fps, it doesnt matter in the real world, it wont make a difference, all it will do is cause head aches and frustrations. And dont listen to silly old cunts

    You're not wrong but she works.

    Never have had a use for a subsonic centerfire and probably still don't but it was fun sussing it out.

    Most animals I see this time of year are pretty close so I will give it a go at tipping one over.
