AndyCM Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 Thanks, what moderator did you go for + barrel length / twist ....I'm not asking because I can't sleep....I've just ordered a .308 from Yorkshire !! Cheers AndyCM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sussexboy Posted February 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 Hi Andy I went with Roger's own moderator in the end. It is fully strippable and all stainless steel - even the baffles. The barrel is a 28 inch, 1 in 8. The downside of the whole build is that with glass on the whole rifle is very heavy. You definitely would not want to take it stalking.

Wow, that's quite a barrel & some twist for a .308.....for shooting to the horizon with heavy bullets ? I've gone to the other extreme, 16" barrel, 1:11 twist for diddy 150g bullets, a short range (sub 200) woodland stalker....now the hard bit, waiting till May !!! cheers AndyCM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sussexboy Posted February 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 Verily, tis a monster. It is indeed for shooting long range. Our club goes to Lydd and Hythe quite a lot and this will come into its own on those far distant figure 11 targets. TBH it's a lot more rifle than I really need, but the money was sitting in the bank earning no interest so I thought I would spend it. Especially after shooting one of Roger's creations at Lydd last summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
