thick part at the front to angle the scope upwards
mainly used if your scope does not have enough turret adjustment to allow for say a 28ft drop at 600 yards and you want to 'dial in' the distance.
totally wrong....
small end forward to cant the barrel up making your 100yrd zero 20moa higher. you then wind your scope turret 20moa lower and you end up with extra 20moa of upward adjustment on your scope.
my sightron is 35moa up 35moa down fit a 20moa rail and ya get 55moa up and 15moa down. over a scope with 70moa range. more upwards adjustment for further ranges

Can’t see how it matters so long that the bolt works
well his zero is either going o be 20moa higher or lower lol. sort of defeats the object if its higher.
small to the front to cant the bore up. what rifle is it for? check your bolts are not too long and pass through action. also use correct thread lock and torque down

So the weekend has been cancelled. He has said if I want to book a later date that's fine so down to you guys. If you want to book later in year or get refund let me know. Via here or PM. I'll send a message to all later tonight.

scott did ya ever see the modded vitara I had? sold it last year as a lot of my mates gave up.
1/ join fb... loads of groups on there and glass have a page. you will be able to find law abiding locals to you who run days out.
2/ get ya self some of the ordanance survey maps from go out doors or ebay for ya local area. find the lanes on the maps and check on the glass register to see if said lane has tro restrictions or not. (NOT ALL RESTICTED LANES HAVE SIGNS)
3/ try to find a local to go with. nothing worse than being out on ya own and either breaking down or getting stuck. (SEEN THIS HAPPEN LOADS)
4/ get a cb and a flashing yellow light anything happens on a moor and ya have no phone signal cb comes in handy if theres any other people nearby. also a flashy yellow light so if ya break down flick it on and people can see ya there. (GUIDED THE AA MAN TO WHERE MY MATES LANDY TIMING BELT SNAPPED WITH MINE.)
5/ highlift jack and really heavy duty tow roads and d clamps are a must. get you our of sticky situations
6/ have a look for local pay and play sites. (great fun and ya know ya not doing anything illegal)
7/ keep a small amount of food and water in the vehicle (had a mate wait 7 hours for recovery in dark)
8 above all have fun... don't think the landy is invincible they do get stuck... a lot. infact id say more than modded suzukis lol.
9/ KEEP AWAY FROM NATHAN.... WITH HIS BAD LUCK HE WILL PROB ROLL HIS TERRIOS ONTO YOU
ps tyres are everything.... insa turbo special tracks are great in mud /extreme situations

right just spoken to mark.
they are working frantically on the range and targets. so far all backstops have been sorted from 100 to 1000yrds
they suspect they are not going to have the cabins in in time but are hoping to have everything in place and complete for early july. That doesn't mean we cant shoot it just means we may have to rough it lol.
I've got to call marc next thurs to get an update and see if it can go ahead.
scotlands behind with the distancing shizzle and sturgeon is dragging her feet.
anybody else wanting to join us pm me.
-
that's his other range still waiting on confirmation for other and if we can meet in a group. scotlands rules....

Hi Guys,
Sorry if this has already been covered?
Can I buy or sell a shotgun/rifle at the moment, I have emailed my licensing department and I am waiting a reply.
All transactions will be with private vendors, I am buying a rifle and selling a number of shotguns, just wondering if allowed at the minute with the partial lifting of the lock down?
Thank you
yes you can I have bought 2 shotguns and sold one and put a deposit down on a new .308
Derbyshire firearms told me as long as you social distance. it can be done easy at home nobody has to come into your property. I did the sale outside in garage at back of house while keeping 2mtr apart. Don't even need to hand over cash if bacs transfer used. make sure everything touched is cleaned and sanitise hands after. no issue.

have a look at the new Yukon sightline n470s if used for out n out night shooting well worth a look. I found them cleared than the wraith and the built in ir is fantastic. so much so I sold my pbir.
-
damn too far away...
-
yes way past lol should be steel gong targets from 100yrds out to 2000yrds.
-
Chaps the shoot is on the new range just up the road from where we shot last year. I was told should have better facilities see 1st post on here.
Marc gardner no longer runs that range....
Ad for this covid milarky I'm unsure as to yet if it can still go ahead dependent on this lockdown so fingers crossed.

I have the citizen Skyhawk red arrows titanium version as a everyday wear I know its a bit dearer than your wanting to spend but found the eco drive watches to be fantastic bits of kit and start at the lower end circa £150-£200. had mine around 4 years and its never faulted.
always full charged from sunlight. uses radio waves to adjust time 3 times a night. auto adjusts to world times so get of a plane in spain and it adjusts itself to Spanish time. titanium so light weight.
not all have the radio sync by the way.
if looking for a sekonda have a look at amj watchs not they have had some awesome deals on fb and there web sites

the reason is there doing nothing else... I tried to get a variation NOPE nor are they taking new fac applications.
