Sargeant Bang Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 I'm liking the flutted barrel on that rifle Miffy! Very nice. I wish my .25-06 T3 had that. It would stop it overheating so quickly when I'm practicing at the range! My accuracy needs all the help it can get! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Geordie Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 Fluted barrel is for weight reduction and i THINK allows more rapid cooling too if memory serves me right? LG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miffy Posted March 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 well done miffy a good couple of hours, hope they wasn't to far from the motor I try not to walk to far most were shot from vehicle except for the last 6 rabbits, when we had to walk round a private park. I had 20 shots and lost one rabbit that i definately hit. Fluted barrel is for weight reduction and i THINK allows more rapid cooling too if memory serves me right? That is correct miffy gis the spec on the rifle m8, as my mates thinking of getting one in 223 Remmy 700 vssf, barrel has been chopped to 16" and the trigger has been adjusted to a very very sweet 1 1/2 pull... didn't need to get a replacement timney trigger. Only thing i would change with the rifle is the sound mod. I would prefer the t8 as the vaimeco makes the rifle very front heavy but i'm used to it now (it was the only mod i could get about 6 years ago when i had it fitted) I've not had anything else to the rifle except from bipod and scope which as we know is personal preference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miffy Posted March 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 Flinn,you da man.Me ode man said you thrashed um big style Great pics pal See you later Kenzie The 17grain vmax makes holes in the rabbits thats for sure You missed the fun again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miffy Posted March 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 Just wondering out of curiosity... how loud is a 22-250 with a sound mod on it, as loud as a 12g shottie ? nowhere near as aloud as a shottie ,................ unless you mean a silenced shottie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never had anything to do with rifles bigger than 22.s so i didnt have a clue. I knew that 22-250s without mods didnt know how much difference a sound mod makes. Isit much louder than a 22. ? I would say it was very much louder than a .22rf You would need to experience the sound of a .22/250 without a sound mod.....head up to derbyshire and you can have a shot with mine ...I'll be stood a long way behind you with my fingers in my ears Edited March 23, 2006 by miffy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
