Hi all. My club is on the look out for a cheap left handed fullbore TR rifle. It will actually be used as a TR and F class starter rifle for probationers without their own with us "hot-swapping" set up on the range. We have one of each for righties but have a handful of lefties which we need to accommodate. It is easier for us to start from a TR base and convert to be adaptable for F class but would also consider an F class rifle which we can convert to use for TR aswell. Something along the lines of a paramount or similar but anything considered. Budget is movable based on the rifle but less than £1000 and ideally more like £500....

Definitely have to consider additional costs. But I just missed out on a Quadlock a couple of years ago in one of their sealed bid auctions. Guide price was £500. I bid £550 and it went for £600. It came in a TR stock with handstop etc. Just needed sights. Even if the barrel was shot out and needed replacing, and with RFD transfer it would still have been a pretty good deal. Less than a grand all in or £1800-1900 if the barrel was no good.

Also worth keeping an eye on Holts auctions. I have seen a couple come up there and they tend to go for reasonable money.

Good condition. Few scratches on the outside but all fully functioning. Fine crosshair reticle. I've been using this on my bench rest rifle but have now upgraded. Will do someone a turn. Email maxbradley12@hotmail.com for pictures. Comes with mounts. £40 plus postage.

I think being a lefty will be the biggest problem. Limits your market somewhat. There will be someone out there though.

If it is only short term then a couple of wheels and a bit of string would do it. If you really want to get fancy you could power it with a drill....🤣 Pram wheels might be a good idea for something readily available. Just cut a groove into them to hold the string.

The one I bought someone had 3D printed a block with a couple of holes and a slot. Then added 2 piece of rod and 2 poly balls. And then I assume milled the head of a bolt into a shape to fit an Anschutz rail and added a brass thumb screw. Simple really.

Check eBay. I got one that someone made themselves for not a lot of money. Or there are "proper" ones around for £15.

Hi All. I'm after 10 shot and 5 shot magazines for a CZ 452 in .22LR if anyone has them going spare. I don't mind steel or plastic.

Have you checked out Mik at Dolphin Gun Company? Probably a tad over your budget but worth a chat to see what he can do. It is my plan to get a custom build from him when I have shot out my current rifle. https://www.dolphinguncompany.co.uk/

You know what? That is absolutely spot on for what I was thinking of. And at a price that I was hoping for but thinking would be way under what I needed. Thank you very much, I have ordered one.

Hi All. I have a home built Fullbore target rifle which is cheap and cheerful. I don't shoot much fullbore at the moment so I don't need anything else. However, I would like to put a slightly better butt plate on it. At the moment it is just a flat slab and is far from consistent (although it is length adjustable). Does anyone have a cheap butt plate that has, as a minimum, some curved fitment, and possibly with some adjustability for cast/cant/height. I will be cutting it up and attaching it to my existing stock so I don't want anything too fancy!

There is one listed in the for sale section...

Please could you send me pictures and prices of the jackets?

I'm no expert and I'm sure someone will correct me if I am wrong... but 40x seems powerful for 50m.
