  12. VARIATION QUESTION

    in General Shooting Matters

    Posted

    Hi, I have two question's if any one can help me ?

     

    First thing is I have just gained some bigger land so its time to put in for a variation. I have wrote on the form what rifle I would like so that is one item but I want a mod for that rifle so would that be clased as two variation's ?

     

    The second question is am i right in thinking its £26 for each variation so would my bill be just £26 or with the mod on top £52 ?

     

    Any help would be brill and save me time when they have to keep sending it me back like last time. :good:

  22. Ruger .17 HMR M77/17

    in Guns & Equipment

    Thanks crossy and I feel the same. As an LSW gunner and able to swap for a rifle in unit shooting comp's, I preferred to use as a rifle instead (without the bipod) finding the added weight on the front end made it more accurate, from any position. I had a look at an M77 in the flesh this afternoon and still like the look and feel. However, the dealer was not very encouraging and suggested the rotary mag is prone to jams, have you encountered this at all? The dealer also (and not for the first time) tried his hardest to steer me away from .17 HMR to .22 WMR. I left feeling very confused but more reading on .17 HMR this evening has returned the resolve somewhat. The Kent option is looking less and less likely (the seller replied to say given lack of interest, he has given to a dealer to sell for him and removed the moderator and bipod) though. In the process of researching more options, I stumbled across the Sako Quad which also appears to have a good following. There is also one quite close to me (East Wales) with a decent mod and scope running right on budget at £650. I would be interested in peoples thoughts on that too, but I believe forum guidelines dictate a new thread if changing topic.

    I took mine with me to catton at the weekend and put 450 round through it on the same mag (left second at home doh!) and it never miss a beat. I only brought mine as I already had a ruger 10/22 and love the way that shoots so thought I would stay with ruger.
