MIke Jenvey Posted 10 September 2020 Share Posted 10 September 2020 Depending on barrel type, it’s about half-life if maintained well. So, barrel type (Krieger, Bartlein, etc) + length + twist are essential items to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brother93 Posted 12 September 2020 Author Share Posted 12 September 2020 Barrels specifications in the attached image - I can't quite make out the markings and can't remember off the top of my head! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIke Jenvey Posted 12 September 2020 Share Posted 12 September 2020 Thanks - but looks like London Proof Mark. At least it’s a stainless barrel - if it’s 30” then it’s likely to be 1:13 as a fairly normal “standard.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cismpete Posted 18 September 2020 Share Posted 18 September 2020 It's so easy to measure it, and it would make life easier for a potential buyer.................. Cismpete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopherspgray Posted 18 September 2020 Share Posted 18 September 2020 Could I ask about the torque wrench, the cleaning equipment and the “miscellaneous accessories”?! What model is the wrench, what have you got in your cleaning equipment and what myriad of things are included in the latter?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MIke Jenvey Posted 20 September 2020 Share Posted 20 September 2020 26 minutes ago, Guy said: Swing Rifle, as used by the Queens Prize winner 2020 He actually has 2, one for short range, one for long range. Was chatting to him for about 30 mins on Sat night. His 1000x QF plot is shown. As always, it is the “nut to trigger” interface that makes the biggest difference - especially holding good elevation & making accurate wind calls. A Swing is good for pricing, which might explain popularity - much cheaper than looking for an equivalent rifle with a metal stock or more modern action - for example, a Barnard action only is about £1300 with trigger!
