Little Dave Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 Thats a verry nice gun how much did it cost? if you dont mind me asking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickcass23 Posted June 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 Paid £640 for the rifle, second hand from Gwynedd Firearms in Bangor North Wales. It's in mint condition. I think that's a reasonable price compared to how much a brand new Remi with the laminated stock is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 that is a good price, I paid similar for an SPS with hogue stock and replacement trigger, for the laminated stock it was a cracking deal. They make a cracking foxing gun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickcass23 Posted June 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 Thanks for the comments, went out yesterday but the gun obviously does not like Remington ammo! Struggled to get any kind of zero! Given it a clean and back out Monday with something different hopefully with better results!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 was it the 45 grain hp's? as mine wasn't overly keen on them, likes anything in 55grain flavour though. Normas worked well but not the cheapest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickcass23 Posted June 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 No its was 55 grain. Tryin Federal Power Shok 55grn on Monday see how I get on with them! Heard some good thing about them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazza Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 I have one the same in 22-250, likes Norma and Federal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickcass23 Posted June 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 Bin out again with the Federal Power Shok 55gr rounds zeroed at 200yds and happy days. A little more fine tuning and it will be spot on. Started it off with the Bushnell Laser Boresighter. Got me near enought to zero pretty much with 6 rounds. Happy Now!!!
