Sprags Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 I had a trip out last night and got this young vixen at 285yds. I had to dial 2moa for the bullet drop and the bullet struck just where the crosshair was, just under the chin. She wouldn't have felt a thing. . . . . . . .

Sprags Posted October 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 (edited) Browning, you will not go wrong dealing with Chris - UK Gunworks A mate of mine saw and shot my rifle, he was that impressed he has had two (6mmBR & 260ai) built by Chris. My .243ai is a tack driver as long as the guy behind it can do his part. To date my longest 'kill' is a 602yd crow, I have had numerous rabbits from 200yds - 400yds. The rifle does exactly what it is supposed to do. Snowz, get some pics up of your .223 EDITED TO ADD: This .243ai grouped 5 shots at 0.171" at 100yds Regards,Sprags Edited October 6, 2010 by Sprags Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orders in for .243Ackley rebarrel and a semi custom 6.5x55Ackley built on a Sako75 action. Nice long chat over a pot of tea, what a top bloke!
