yeah they are rare as hens teeth. I waited a year and missed out on two others before I got my one. Crazy gow the price of these rifles has shot right up as well. I have seen some on TM going for more the $900 in $1 reserve auctions.

You just need to know the secret handshake.

haha the contraption worked really well. Managed to get it zero'd and fired 5 additional shots onto the target for good measure. I wondered if anyone would be there from the forum

Is that why you were gone so long.... you were off doing introductions...

Sorry again I had to spend time getting those two ladders shot for the 7RM and 223, Would have loved to have spent more time having a natter between rounds other than helping Richard out with his technique.

Don't know how those poor guys got on in the afternoon I was already starting to get Mirage at about 11am!!! Did you see the line up I counted at least 18cars plus those staying on from the morning session.

Yup mate about 4 benches to your right the only Lefty Bench being used as far as I could see. The Scouse was just to my left - well until he tried shooting his 223 single shot and realised it wasn't on the paper and ran of to the 25 - well that's his story anyway.

Richard and I were shooting load Dev on his subs and supers for his 243 and 7mil and I was shooting 7RM and 223 to do load dev on 223 with 55gr blitz Kings and 7RM with my 162 Amax's.
Fun morning...

We got a slight breeze in the afternoon, wasn't too hot at all. We did get icecreams on the way home though, from that Boric place up the road. Actually extremely good icecream come to mention it...

oh nice. Had a laugh when the RO came across and made me unload my rifle while I was asking one of the guys standing behind me which paper on my target I should shoot (had two side by side). Was about to shoot but somehow removing the round and sticking it back in 3 seconds later was necessary to take my shot. lol

That would be Arthur, he's a good sort.

I was last in the queue so ended up on the 50m range instead as the 25m range was rammed full of people. Wasn't even on the frame initially haha, after a minor bollocking for shooting with no real idea where the rounds were going, Arthur the RO helped me out with a bore sight.

Yep ebay if you are lucky, the sucky part is if they are good or worn out you wont know till you see them.
