MC Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 At 600 yards probably something like 3 inches depending on the wind. But that is fairly loose. At 1200 yards who knows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob300w Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 At 600 yards probably something like 3 inches depending on the wind. But that is fairly loose. At 1200 yards who knows Good idea not to eat beans before shooting then? 3" groups? What are you using a shotgun? That's not a group, it's a pattern!

Dunkield Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 That sounds like a challenge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob300w Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 That sounds like a challenge No challenge at all, we will have a quid bet on it, his hands will be shaking so much at the thought of losing, he won't be able to shoot, Watertight these mersea boys.

MC Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 Not at all Bob, You can even use my rifle if you want, 3" groups at 600 yards or you buy all the beer for the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I notice that you did not mention the quid in this challenge? We will see this Saturday how your beast performs against my 177 Diana with the Tesco scope, lidl barrel, pallet grade wood stock and Sainsbury's "not just ammo". I don't normally do this close in stuff, jeez, it's more like hand to hand combat. It would be more sporting to throw knives at that range.

bob300w Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 Let me guess, You haven't fired a rifle for 17 years 7 hours actually, gave a magpie a happy slap with a 223/50g Nosler BT pill this morning, nowt as satisfying as that loud plop and cloud of feathers, wings, head etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snotty Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 I can shoot one hole groups at 600 yards. Trouble is shot #2 tends to spoil it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob300w Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 I can shoot one hole groups at 600 yards. Trouble is shot #2 tends to spoil it Aha! Is that how they do it? That explains all of these claims of one hole groups on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunganick Posted May 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 just a quick question how much cash are you guys takeing? I think we are looking at about £15-20 per day. (sat and sunday) plus £45 (maybe less) for clays Maybe a small fee for camping if they get wise to us Plus about the same again for liquids.

For clarity, Nick meant "the same" as is £45/day, not £15-20/day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
