    I've seen far older threads revived, and with less relevance.
    Photos of classics like the Unique T2000 never go amiss in my book.

    Martin C reacted to RobinC in .223 Sportco/Keppeler TR/300mt Rifle   
    Continuing on my retirement trail, I have a very special rifle for sale!
    It is built as a 300 mt rifle, BUT, being in .223 rem  it is also eligible for NRA Target Rifle TR events as well!!!
    The action is a specially built Sportco M44, shortened action, with centre action screw, and front recoil lug action screw. The action is mat black ceracote. It is in .223 Rem calibre, with a new TSE bolt head, special bolt handle, and a new TSE adapter to take a new Bartlein 1 in 8 twist barrel, 640 mm (25") with .223 Wylde chambering. The trigger is a Bix'n Andy 20 gm two stage , (for 300 mt and any thing with a free trigger), plus it also comes with a Sportco TR eligible 1500 gm trigger (a straight, simple ten minute fit).
    The rear sight is a new Gehmann 590 compact, with Centra iris, and Centra lens hood, mounted on a Centra metric rail, and it also comes with a PH 5C TR 4 click per minute TR sight, complete with mounting bracket, a simple switch, so, a 300 mt free trigger and metric sights, ten minutes and a TR sight and trigger! The front sight is the superb Crystal Centra Cube, with Crystal High End element, and a 0.5 Crystal Eagle eye for TR! (that's £200 of front sight!) Forget the 30 mm TR front sights, you have never looked through a sight like this for clarity of picture!
    The action is on a special machined alloy bedding block bolted into the stock. The stock is a Keppeler full bore K5 with my own modified alloy fore end  inserts to make it as slim as the new K9 stock. Finished in Metalic black with polished alloy detail. The grip is a Walther KK300, the cheek piece is a flat top Walnut wood, fully adjustable in every direction, with my own side folding cheek piece so it can be high, and fold to open the bolt, simples! The butt plate is a Keppeler, adjustable for length, height and angles, with a removable (for TR) butt hook. All complete with a colour matched Mirage band (choice of colours!).
    The barrel was very carefully run in, and has shot a logged 200 rounds in total, including one 60 shot 300 mt match (just over my average). It shoots superbly with NRA available GGG 69 gn match ammo, and even better including spectacularly in wind, with my special  80 gn hand loads. The sale will include a box of each!
    Why then am I selling it? It was my lock down project, plus If you look on the General threads for my "bucket list project" that I have just finished, that's why, plus retirement looms, I don't need two the same calibre, and I need the cabinet space!!!
    It's very special, suitable and competitive, for 300 mt, TR, bench rest, or what ever you wish to do!
    The pic is not very good, I lost patience with the resizing site!! Its just a taster, if you are interested I have more and better detail pics on email robin.carter80@ntlworld.com
    At a fraction of the cost to build, the first sensible offer close to £2500 gets it!
    Have Fun

    The problem I had with them was the "Buckle" pulling through the holes in the front "strap"it actually pulled through to the next set of holes. I got a replacement strap from my dealer and this happened again.
    I then contacted MEC and never heard from them until one day a full set of straps arrived in the Mail! These seem slightly thicker and I have had no trouble since then. Great service from MEC to New Zealand.
