Dunkield Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 Hi Tim, Top project for the lad to choose! How about this beast, it is used for bench rest shooting at 1,000 yards in America (where else!) If he needs more info I will try and find the site again. There was a thread in the picture section a little while ago about users guns there were loads of pics in that one. Cheers, Stuart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tenbears10 Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 Stuart Am I missing something or does no one miss with that set up? Surely a rifle screwed to a bench doesn't take much skill too hit a fixed point? :thumbs: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely a rifle screwed to a bench doesn't take much skill too hit a fixed point? :thumbs: thats a extreme example of bench rest shooting, where putting the cross hairs in the right place is the easiest bit. its the pulling the trigger, allowing for windage, heat haze, working up an accurate load etc etc.. which the skill is required for.

Frank Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 BLIMEY :wacko: , thats massive. I would think that .50bmg would not be licenced to the public, is it a club rifle, or am i rong and it is licenced? :wacko: :thumbs: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely a rifle screwed to a bench doesn't take much skill too hit a fixed point? :thumbs: Well they are afunny bunch, but the site I got that from says it prints 1 hole 3 shot groups at 1,000 yards so quite impressive even if it isn't your thing. Bit like an F1 car really it's at the outer limits of what can be achieved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dunganick Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 weihrauch hw60 j .22lr CZ 452 varmint .22lr Anschutz of some kind. .22mag Brno (early model 4.... something or other, cant remember model number) .22 hornet Sako 75 I .222 Mauser M66 .243 Sako 75 III 6.5x55 i can get better pics if any of these are any use to you (its a good excuse to get the guns out and play with them :thumbs: ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 Some lovely looking rifles their Nick. :thumbs: How old is the Hornet mate, does it shoot well? Did you have it from new? Thanks. :wacko: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunganick Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 its lovely mate, we havent had it from new, probably about 3 years now, but it has been in storage for the last 20+ years. when we got it it had fired a hand full of shots, and was in 99% condition. we paid a premium for it. but its a very nice example of an early brno. double set triggers (the best sort in my opinion) wearing a meopta 7x50 ontop. i use it for my sporting competitions, and when i do my part (happens every now and then) it wins competitions. it has also won a few of the casual bench rest comps we have at our club. 1/4 of inch groups are normal. with a more powerful scope and someone who can shoot straight :*) it would probably do alot better. unfortuantly we need to work up the load again, as we have no once fired brass left (2nd hand brass came with the gun), but i dont think this will be an issue.

Frank Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 Have you put many rounds threw it? Someone told me the other day that Hornets can last for 10,000 rounds plus I wonder is this true, what do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunganick Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 Have you put many rounds threw it?Someone told me the other day that Hornets can last for 10,000 rounds plus I wonder is this true, what do you think? no doubt at all they are good for 10,000 we have probably shot 1250 through it over the 3 years. i would expect most barrels in all but the hotest rifles to do at least 10,000. our hornet isnt exactly blisteringly fast, but its still doing 3250fps with as much 'lil gun' as you can fit in the case (not a compressed load though) this is using the hornady Vmax 35grain. awful BCO so it tails off at 160. ontop of this, my tame RFD says that Brno make some of the best factory barrels you can get. i dont know why, but he knows his stuff, so im not going to doubt him. our Sako in .222 has probably had 6 or 7000 through it, and its still going very strong indeed. modern barrels dont burn out as quick i am lead to believe.

Frank Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 Sounds good. What method do you use to clean them Nick? Sorry for all the questions, im just comparing different opinions mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunganick Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 dont clean. we only clean when accuracy drops off, (tends to happen about every 9 months) when we do we use a rod, and a piece of bog role with butches bore shine or hoppes number 9 keep it simple.

whippet.22 Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 Nice setup, I hate to take the thread off track, but that really does look nice. What sort of accuracy are you getting with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
