    Been doing a bit of digging! You must have just missed the X Mark Pro which was adjustable and came out in 2007 (awkward adjustment), that was followed in 2009 by the EASILY adjustable X Mark Pro (which I have on my 700 SPS .308). Mine is perfectly adequate without being exceptional, that's why my original comment was.... What is the standard trigger?

    Wondering off topic somewhat, but I'm getting confused. My 700 is about 10 years old and was a very early, EASILY adjustable X Mark Pro, the previous X mark Pro was also adjustable but more of a malarkey, I believe that lasted a year or two!? Are you talking about older, pre X mark triggers, as far as I recall all X mark pro were adjustable?

    What is the standard trigger? The X Mark pro has been used for some years now! The X Mark Pro is fitted to many and is better than a lot think...still far from match quality, but certainly ok! Mine has been fine (even with the recall, I am convinced mine wasn't touched on recall trip).

    This area is called..... New Member Introductions It isn't called I want, give me, I need advice, help me, I have something to sell, etc etc. Whatever happened to Introductions, they seem few and far between these days?

    Not seen on the site since joining date of 2 July. Guess he wasn't after that much more exposure!

    I suspect it was coming, but still surprised me a bit!

    ...and some need a mentor and can't find one! Anyway, as it happens I have been approached today to be a Mentor yet again, this time for a guy who has only applied for a .22LR. I thought TVP had actually done away with mentors, but is seems not!

    Very good pal of mine had a 527 in .223, the black plastic version, one of the cheapest guns on the market at the time but its accuracy became legendary!

    Here you go, these are my centrefires (.223, .243 and .308) and they all have the P8 COMPACT, there is a tube from the normal P8 at top right which show how much shorter and lighter to Compact is. I am very happy about the sound reduction even on the .308. My mods do go back a few years, and almost everything is smaller and lighter now, usually a chunk more expensive as well, and in honesty I don't know about the sound reduction comparison.

    Does look lean and long...but they all count!

    I noticed that as well, I'm sure my Mum had one like that we gave to a Charity Shop!

    My previous WMR loved these....... but my latest prefers the Hornady 30g V-Max, which is quite useful as they perform very well for me, and I use them virtually exclusively now!

    Nope, I NEVER put on too much!

    I shoot very few foxes past 200 metres, frankly the majority of mine are under 100. Obviously peoples situations/land/experiences are different, but for "most" people, LONG range (200m++++) foxes are the exception rather than the norm!

    Latest. The bubbles are from the paintwork BELOW the paint I am applying and it is evident the paint is not adhering to the walls in these specific areas. The bubbles do not go away when the emulsion dries! However, I have pushed them flat with the back of my fingernail and they seem to stay in position quite well. I cannot believe how abrasive matt emulsion is, I have worn away 2 fingernails to paper thin!!!!! 2 coats of oil based undercoat have been applied to the walls in the effected areas and the bubbles did not re-emerge. I have just applied a coat of emulsion over the

    As already mentioned 1-8 is better for heavy bullets but you will not get a flat trajectory with that, but you will get distance and better energy retention. The lighter bullets fly faster and flatter but speed and energy drops off quite quickly. Sounds to me like 1-10 is more for you. My T3 Hunter is 1-10, it does exceptionally well with 90g SP ammo, it is also brilliant with 58g V-Max, but they serve different purposes, and the 58g is so easy to shoot its unbelievable!

    Howa are well known for their Rifle Packages, they can be a reasonable deal if you only have a pretty basic use for the rifle. If you have any desire to stretch the limits forget the deals and buy what you need separately.

    I've had it both ways many a time. The domestics tend to have "A" fox (sometimes a family), but the schools are usually worst, they have "A" fox almost all the time, always turns out to be a family or two or more! Very rarely do I get an accurate estimate from the clients!

    Always used to be Midland Dive Centre. Who knows now, but with the Web at your fingertips why not search?!

    They are rugged, they are a workhorse, they are accurate, and good shot count on the newer versions. Not much bad about them except the business model behind the (Ex) company!

    I've had a few sites with good numbers but don't recall any with that many. Tends to be first time around the big numbers and then slows down with control visits. Just the same I have a free range Chicken/geese/duck farm that I take a pretty consistent 14 a year from, just goes on and on!

    Got to get on so embarked on a course of action last night. Results in a few days!

    That area is always covered in the motor, emergency "supplies" live in it, as well as in shooting jackets etc!

    You want some publicity ...what's the best deal you can do me on a Vortex Viper 6.5 x 20 x 50? Make it good and I'll give you a lot of publicity!
