Yes, I have a 5.7 x 1.4mm M22 Hi-End. Since finding a glass iris last year it's surplus to requirements. £8 including postage.

Tim,
I may have one, but I'll have to check.
It will be a 1.4mm ring.
Mega!

I'm afraid I don't have one spare but you may be interested to know that I ended up with these dimensions when I recently changed to Centra High Ends from a variable foresight. I did this to obtain a thinner ring. I experimented, meaning I had to buy several High Ends, and concluded that 5.6 or 5.7 with either a 1.3 or 1.2 ring was best for me. You may like to ponder the ring thickness question because that will also have to be specified. Finally, are you using an eagle eye as I do? Mine is 0.5. I don't, of course, shoot under ISSF rules. If you are not using an eagle eye, do you really need these larger apertures? Mine had to be special order from Germany and they took a long time to arrive. Sorry if all this is irrelevant or unwanted.
Hi, cheers - v. useful to know.
Yes, i currently use a 0.3x Eagle Eye with a 4.8mm High End. I would like to try an 0.75x Eagle Eye and corresponding HighEnd:
My prescription lens (-6.75) makes things appear a lot smaller than they would if wearing contact lenses. The 0.3x pretty much normalises this, and has helped my scores improve, now i am wondering if a higher magnification may be even more beneficial....... all good fun

Hi Chris,
Yes, i've taken the plunge and ordered up a 4.9 High End for use with bloop tube, hopefully this will be about right. I have a 3.9 for use without the tube and this seems to be ok for me. I think more importantly i need to get some shooting specs sorted. With my normal specs my eye flicks focus way too easily to the diagram. It's ok for a detail or two but i really start to struggle after 20 odd shots. Once I get the specs sorted i should have a better idea as to whether to splash the cash on a Centra Iris. One very appealing feature of the iris is that it has a 2mm ring thickness to help lock the eye's focus on. The max 1.4mm ring thickness of the High Ends seems a touch thin for me.......... this is not a cheap past-time haha!

Hi Tim G
FYI, Arthur Harvey at Budleigh Farm had a nice 1811 for sale when I visited him a few months ago. If you're interested why not ping him an email, you'll find his details at www.budleighfarm.co.uk
I bought a new '80's 1811 and had it bedded by Accuracy International. The rifle is easy to setup and achieves a nice position with almost no movement on recoil. I've enjoyed shooting it for many years and I'd certainly recommend one for prone. It's currently mothballed as I've bought a Gemini / Maddco combo and I'm enjoying the challenge of achieving that elusive perfect position. Sorry Tim, before you ask, there's no way I'd sell the 1811.
Haha, thank you 10 Dots. I won't mention your beloved 1811
Cheers for the pointer, i'll send Arthur an email

Tim,
At 6' 1" an xx11 stock should be ok. These are a little longer in the butt than xx13 and xx07 rifles (back in the day when these were designed prone positions were a lower and wider), and can be a bit too long for those of average height, whereas you just wouldn't need to extend the butt as much.
Raiser blocks for the sights may be your friend.
Cheers for the pointers Tim. I'll happily extend the search to include xx11 rifles too. If only I could find a way to edit the thread's topic line!

To change your header,
In your ad, click on 'edit' then 'full editor' and then you can change the header.
As for the ammo, Edge is about £112 per 1,000 (With a bit of discount for 1k) so thats £56 per 500, then £5.60 for a box of 50. Sounds good to me for a nights shooting.
Ensure on your Firearm cert application you have authority to possess max 1500 and to purchase max 1,000. At the least. I know FEO try to get you to have less, but as an avid shooter who is attending many shoots, that is a reasonable amount to have.
You shouldnt have to spend all your time travelling to buy ammo from your nearest gun dealer who has the type of ammo you require, especially if the dealer is some distance away and difficult to get to.
I hope my comments may help.

Super - Edited now, thank you
Yes, my FEO agreed to 1250 rounds without fuss and my club usually bulk buys Edge after a few members have batch tested at Eley. They work on the principle that if a batch works well through 2 or 3 Match 54s it's 'likely' to work well through other Match 54s also.... not perfect, but it seems to work ok
Comments are always welome

Hi Jonty,
I'm shooting prone. At my club we enter 25y, 50m and 100y postal comps. I have dreams and aspirations of one day attending shoulder to shoulder comps.
I'm still cutting my teeth at this game and have been happily shooting Eley Club and RWS Club at 25y achieving scores in the region 90-95. I scored my first 97 this week. Whoops and cheers were had aplenty.
Most of the guys at my club use Eley Edge quite happily and this is what I'd like to move onto. It's not mega expensive but represents a significant cost increase from RWS Club at 3 squid / 50.
I'm 6'1" and skinny. A significant proportion of my height comes from my giraffe like neck and I have sloping shoulders. I tried shooting 10m air rifle for a while and had great difficulty getting the sights upto eye level, even with high sight risers. I had to painfully bend my back and eventually got fed up with the discomfort. Prone seems to suit my physiology much more.
Hope that explains a few things :-)

Thanks Chaps,
All good points and duly noted. My main reason for homing in on the XX13 is because i'm hoping it will fit my non-average body shape more easily. That said, if an XX11 were to come along at a fair price it'll get full consideration.

Tim,
if you look here: http://forum.stirton.com/index.php/topic/5518-advice-on-first-rifle-purchase/ and here http://www.targettalk.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=46644 you'll find notes on looking over a used rifle. There aren't too many pitfalls.
The rifle in the link is IMO a little on the high side; the sights are basic, although the buttplate is the latest version.
Whilst I agree that it is on the high side, I think prices have gone up (inexplicably) of late, so its not too far off.
Yes prices seem exceptionally variable. 1813s in particular - i've seen listings from 550-850!?
I'm think i'm starting to err toward an older/cheaper rifle so that i can afford some good ammo for the when the 50m season starts up.

Shooting Jacket For 10M Air Rifle
in Wanted
Posted
Hi there, I have a slightly muddy size 54 Gehmann 418 that's going spare http://www.intershoot.co.uk/acatalog/Gehmann-Leather-Jacket-418-370.html
It's been used for Field Target and Prone shooting, so it's a bit mucky around the bottom edge and the left elbow pad has signs of wear. The buttons are easily moved about to achieve a good fit. PM me with email address if you'd like a few pics.
Cheers
Tim
