I appreciate that this is not an item that would under normal circumstances be used in smallbore shooting; but I thought I would post it in case anyone involved with fullbore rifle shooting might be in need of a scope, or know someone that is. It is suitable for long range shooting up to about 1200 yards.
The scope is an Athlon Argos BTR 6 - 24 x 50 first focal plane scope. It has an illuminated etched glass reticle and is moa scale. It has had very little use and is as good as new. Athlon offers a lifetime warranty on its products. Lenses are fully multicoated and the tube is 30mm. It is waterproof and fogproof, having been purged with argon. The turrets are 1/4 moa per click with total elevation adjustment of 60 moa.
I have tried to show the lenses are in good condition, but the minute specs of dust on them don't really portray that in the photographs. I would like to assure you that they are not in any way marked and come with lens caps. There are also no ring marks on the tube, which is aircraft grade aluminium.
I am asking £300.

THIS ITEM IS NOW SOLD
This item is no longer needed as I have moved to fullbore rifle and no longer participate on .22 prone.
The jacket is used, but not a lot, is in excellent condition and clean.
It is for right-handed shooters and is euro size 60 (which I believe is meant to equate to UK size 49") but I don't have much confidence in any of the figures quoted by these manufacturers and comfortable fit is all that matters.
These jackets sell for £145 new from Intershoot and £155 from NSRA. I am asking for £75, plus any postage costs should I have to send it to you. I am located not far south of Bath.

This semi auto .22RF rifle does not have the heavy bull barrel and the stock is the lightweight cutaway design. It is therefore suitable for lightweight sports rifle shooting and is equally at home with shooting from a rest. The barrel is factory cut to take a sound moderator should you also wish to suppress noise at the range.
It comes complete with 10 round rotary magazine and 25 round banana magazine.
It is fitted with a Simmons Whitetail Classic 1.5–5x20 scope should you prefer a scope to iron sights (also fitted), but at 25 yards you'll only need minimal magnification for accuracy. The scope is one of the Simmons scopes that was made in the Philippines and consequently has excellent optics, much better than the newer models with Chinese optics. It comes with lens caps.
The rifle is clean, well maintained, in excellent condition and most importantly shoots accurately (depending who is behind the stock, of course!).
I have used a variety of ammunition brands (SK, RWS, Eley) in this rifle and have never had any cause for concern with cycling; it handles all types, though I don’t put really cheap dirty stuff through it. It comes with a gun slip for protection.
The complete package as above is available for £350. Get in touch if interested or you have any questions. The reason for sale is that I no longer need this rifle as my current shooting is predominantly long range full-bore.

Glad you are sorted.

I have a virtually brand new, boxed, Praktica Hydan 20-60x77 scope complete with case. I used it for smallbore target spotting at 50 and 100 yards on minimum magnification, but I have switched to fullbore now and we tend to just use the rifle scopes and target markers as placed by those in the butts. It is waterproof and fogproof, being nitrogen purged.
I also had an Opticron stand that I used with it. It is still boxed and in as new condition.
If you are interested, you could have the two items for £160 plus whatever postage would be incurred.
Regards,
Neil

Hello.
Unfortunately I do not know the number of rounds that have gone through the rifle. Always a difficult one that. However, the letters IE are stamped on the barrel and, if I am correct, that would indicate a 1984 gun.

This rifle is in extremely good condition and shoots well. It has been used by my daughter (is on both our certificates) but she has decided to not continue with the sport despite regularly shooting 25yd prone scores in the low 90s. Each to their own with ammunition, but she shot Lapua through it.
It comes with cantable foresight complete with horizontal wires and a selection of insert apertures.
The rear sight is variable aperture with colour filters.
There is a bore cleaning guide and bolt protector that will come with the rifle.
Face to face sale is obviously most straightforward and, apologies for saying this, please ensure you have a slot on your certificate to accommodate the rifle.Please do ask if you require further information.
£550

I no longer need this rear sight iris so am offering it for sale. It has had little use, is in (as far as I can see) perfect condition and could easily be taken for a new and unused item.
The iris aperture adjusts from 0.5mm to 3.0mm and it incorporates a 1.5x lens with correction from -4.5 to + 4.5 to aid vision. The units can be separated and the iris used without the lens unit if preferred for any reason (adapter included, which was purchased as an extra, as well as Gehmann spanner). I do have a Gehmann to Parker Hale adapter available for an extra £10 if anyone wants it.
Light reflection internally has never been any issue at all and worked well for me in adding clarity to the foresight because I need reading glasses.
It is easy to adjust with smooth, unclicked rotation.Bought new, these are going for £135 to £142 with an extra £15 for the adapter to use the iris on its own.
I will let this go for £100 including posting it to you (mainland UK addresses).

NOW SOLD

Reduced the asking price to £300. Would be handy to get the slot free on my FAC.

In really clean and excellent condition and not of the normal battered examples you so often encounter of this type of rifle.
The rifle is 1970 proof-marked and comes with the Parker Hale PH25 variable aperture rear sight and Parker Hale PH1 foresight. There is a Parker Hale container that has not been screwed on to the stock anywhere and contains a selection of foresight apertures.
There are two wooden stock extension pieces, hand stop and stand, and a spare genuine Parker Hale butt plate assembly.
The cheek piece has been sanded and very slightly taken down by a previous owner; but I stress this is really minimal as can hopefully be seen on the close-up photo.
Overall weight is about 14lb.
It shoots better than me, but I did manage recently to put 5 shots within a half inch group at 50m.Do get in touch if you want to know anything else.
Obviously a face to face transaction would be so much easier than trying to send this anywhere and you should have an available slot on your FAC. I am located south of Bath.
Asking price is £395. Payment by cash or direct bank transfer, please.
