Not sure if this means you phoned in or checked the website, but if the latter, then I would try and call and order one over the phone. The issue with gauges was raised at Shooting Council this morning. Apparently their supplier had a heart attack (but is now recovering well). They did start shopping around for someone else to do them, but the problem of course is volumes - most engineering firms want to do a large run of them. Their supplier has always been good in being willing to turn them out in lower volumes (I think they have identified a couple of people who may be willing to supply smaller volumes in future, but their regular chap is back in business now anyway). In any case, stock is starting to reappear, so if they haven’t got it listed on the website yet, it’s probably on its way - call and tell them you want it and they might be able to expedite that particular gauge. If you have called them and they’ve just told you “computer says no”, then email Dave Froggett and elevate it. In any case, I understand things are moving forward now and availability should improve in the near future.

In your part of the world, I would drop a message to DavetheChamp, see what he and his Dad might either have in the armoury at WelshArms, or know is available in your area. They'll see you right or point you in the right direction if they've got nothing suitable.

The Open Rights Group have a handy tool for checking if sites are on an ISP block list. You can also send unblocking/reclassification requests with it. I've had some success getting some sites off (WTSF and WSRA) with Vodafone and Sky being relatively responsive. At the very least you can normally get it off the "regular" lists but they'll dig their heels in on the "Kidsafe" or "Strict" filters. It can also be a bit whack-a-mole because getting a site off the black-list doesn't necessarily get it white-listed, it just goes "neutral" - since they often use third party lists, sites can end up getting added back on.

You can use any TOTP-compatible app - I use Authy in preference to Google's app. Not that it matters - as Neil says it doesn't store anything on you, it's just generating a one-time password. I'll be blunt here. If 2FA is on offer somewhere USE IT. The benefits cannot be overstated.

And it doesn't need to be a top-tier brand. I mean, if that money is burning a hole in your pocket or you're sponsored, then by all means get Tenex/R50/Midas+, but if you find a batch of Eley Match/RWS Rifle Match/Center-X that your rifle likes, that will serve far better and offer more consistency than shooting lots of odd-batch R50 and Tenex (and you'll have more budget left for kit/travel/comps/associated training expenses). The label is only based on their proofing barrels, which gives an indication to consistency but it's performance in your barrel that counts - to that end, I'm not convinced you're getting a lot of value buying off-the-shelf odds of Tenex compared with off-the-shelf Match. It might be great, it might also fail to hold the 10 ring, and you're paying a 30% premium to find out! Last time I batch tested I found a good batch I was happy with. But one batch tested at 21mm after 10 shots. Off the shelf you don't know if it's any good till you start shooting it. I've shot 590+ in training and had double-tons with Rifle Match. Not as often as I'd like perhaps, but in training you're rarely shooting for score and tier-2 ammo is usually "good enough" to tell you if you're achieving your training goals.

May help to add some salient details such as: Precise or the older 2213 alu-stock? Round (19-) action or square (20-)? Accessories included? Photos? Price?

I assume you've given Sport Wales a call - they have accommodation in the main building (and a decent breakfast!) for about £35/night. It does go really quickly though, so I suspect they'll be booked out for the weekend, if not with shooters then with other sports who are running training camps that weekend (I gather Hockey are notorious for pre-emptively booking out entire corridors of accommodation, before dropping half of it at the last minute when they realise they haven't got that many participants coming). Definitely try AirBNB, but also widen your search. I've commuted from Cardiff to Tondu (near Bridgend) in the mornings for shoots, and it's not been too bad - 25-30 minutes depending where you are in Bridgend, so whilst it's maybe a bit further than you want to go, you could do that in reverse.

Having never flown with firearms, will be doing it twice this year and need a baggage-handler-proof hard case! Would like to hear from anyone who perhaps doesn't fly anymore and has a 1720 knocking about that they're willing to part with! EDIT: Sorted

Doubt it unless someone knows a dealer with some second hand stuff. Mags are expensive - even Ruger 10/22 rotary magazines are £20-30 and there's literally millions of them floating around, and being continuously mass-produced (i.e. low-per unit cost). By contrast I hadn't even heard of Krico till I went hunting just now, so presumably their production is an order of magnitude (or two!) lower and they don't seem to be big enough to justify/interest a UK distributor. They're €60-90 even in Germany, so by the time you factor in the cost of shipping from Germany and any paperwork (not sure how beaurocratic magazines are to ship - not a serialled, FAC part, but still the sort of thing liable to raise eyebrows at customs), then £80 unfortunately sounds about right. I know someone who had to pay £30 for a 10-shot CZ .17HMR mag and that's basically just .22wmr and readily available in the UK...

No, the same has happened to me. Must be the forum because it was working fine earlier, and I've not done anything to my setup.

Need an butt-hook for an Anschutz 1913 because changing my current one for 3P is playing havoc with my prone scores! Doesn't have to be an Anschutz hook, just suitable for 3P. Any offers?

We'll take it! PM'd you.

Yeah, we could use an extra ammo cabinet at Southampton Uni, but we'd need to get it to, well, Soton...*looks wistful* Excellent price though.

I could use one as well if anyone has more than 1 going!
