  1. The problem is , its not so much the scammers selling on the sales, as them answering the wanted's, as the most recent ones have been,  and I think that would be very difficult or impractical to police?  it would involve new members being banned from replying to wanted's, or PM'ing,  before they have done thread contributions, is that possible or practical? 

    When you sort that, can you stop me being phoned 5 times a day with scamms!

    Take care and Have fun

  2. I am selling my Barnard 7.62/308,  built end of 2017 for 2018, fitted with a genuine (old stock) Kolbe border barrel, 1 in 13 twist, 25 in,  all in a special Dolphin alloy stock made specifically for me, with a Walther KK300 grip, and an adjustable cheek piece with a folding top so it can be in the right place, and swings to allow the bolt opening. The Stock is highly polished alloy, (very bling!) ,  is adjustable for length, and with a Morgan (USA) TR butt plate. The action has a Dolphin polished stainless bolt lever, the trigger is a three lever Barnard match trigger, set and tested at 1500 gram, but I also have a set of lighter springs to set it down to 150 gram.

    The sights are, rear, RPA Trakker in metric rotation (the same as small bore) specially made as 8 clicks per minute, with a Gehmann iris,  sight is mounted onto the action via a Nesika dovetail so can be adjusted for eye relief. The front sight is an 18 mm Anschutz tunnel with a metal element, and an 0.5 eagle eye. The barrel has a mirage band.

    The barrel is logged accurately at 250 rounds from new, the rifle shoots superbly at 300, 500, 600 and 900, and has recorded  possibles or 49's at all distances, as well as shooting well on ISSF 300 mt.

    Its a beautifully balanced  rifle that shoots superbly at all distances  in TR,  so why am I selling it?  The last shoot in 2018 at 600 yds was a possible, and shortly after the shoot I had a serious eye issue that my consultant thought was recoil related, and advised against shooting 7.62 any more.

    Price is £2000, no offers or haggling, serious enquiries to robin.carter80@ntlworld.com for pictures

    SORRY GUYS IT'S SOLD!

    Have fun

  4. Does any one have 1500 gm TR trigger test weight they don't want please?

     

    The NRA put me in contact with the guy who makes theirs, so I now have one!

  5. The odds of some wanting to buy a Spy with a Duplex and a Monocle is rare, but all individually are highly sellable, I'd be interested in the Spy if the price was right.

  6. For those who know me, my rifles and kit, show a slight bias towards orange.

    But NO, it was not me who ordered it!!!

    They could have done the grip orange though like mine are!

    Does look good though!

  7. No, but I have a  Parker Hale 5C which is what the UK Sportco 44's came with, and I also have a Sportco 44 sight mounting for it!

    I'll be at Bisley (300 mt shed) this week end, Sat afternoon, and Sunday Morning. £50 cash sounds fair?

    Spares, such as the bolt pin get direct from "Total Solutions Engineering Pty Ltd"  (TSE)  Everton Park, Queensland, Australia,  info@tsengineering.com.au , they still make the Sportco 44 new to order, and supply spares, if you want to re barrel it with any thing other than a standard Sportco barrel,  you'll need a TSE adaptor to fit any barrel, as the lugs are in the barrel on standard barrels. They are an excellent company,  if they have in stock what you want they express it to the UK,  either email or phone 0061 - (07) - 3355 - 5824 and speak to Veronica, as long as you get your time right!

    Have Fun

  8. Its simple, the adjustment is +0.5 dioptre on your long vision prescription and that gives a 2 mt focal length, which is the perfect prescription for rifle shooting

    Don't forget to include astigmatism, you local opticians or specs factories will make a lens, average £40. If you wish expert advice contact Stephen Hing, at Hings Opticians, Shefford, Nr Bedford, Stephen is one of the top specialists in shooting prescriptions, but unless you have a particular eye sight issue he will tell you the same as above.

  9. I'm looking for an older small bore rifle  to build for a Junior, must be a good action/barrel/trigger with sights, Anschutz 54 ideal or similar,  basic stock, as we will cut and shut to fit. Perhaps an old club rifle?

    Robin

  10. Ok, you fans of special kit! I have a very good condition original pair of Junkers shooting glasses, as used by Malcolm Cooper! 

    I and several other discerning shooters still use  them, they are particularly good for full bore as you can get them really close to the eye, and you also have a left lens for wind spotting, reading, or what ever your fancy.  They look a bit Harry Potter, and the adjustment is bending to fit, but they were the choice of Malcolm, (and me!) , these are original ones in good condition, in the metal case, and even with the  original lens cloth, idented as Junkers.

    £50 posted.

    NOW SOLD!
