    the same scope at uttings is £229.99 i think you added £100 by accident.

    i have seen them in the shops but are far too expensive! i can get the norma vmax ammo for half the price which shoots sub half inch at 100yards in my rifle (both 40 and 50grain bullets). if the norma ammo shoots well in your gun dont waste your money on the silvertips. atb karl

    has to be the .223 perfect for everyday use.

    yes this is very true. i was using the aftermarket scene as more of a positive towards the remington rather than a negative for the howa if you get what i mean. atb karl

    just to through a spanner in the works, have you considered a howa 1500? they shoot great straight from the box, the only downside from the remington sps is that because they have only recently become relatively popular there is a lack of after market parts for them. mine consistantly shoots groups less than 1/2inch at 100 yards with factory loads. atb karl

    i mate. it really depends on what you will be using your triple for? foxes, rabbits, i see your in scotland so maybe roe aswell. a good place to start looking is the MTC optics range as you will be able to pick up a second hand viper or mamba for that sort of money. also a if you can stretch to it a second hand bushell elite would be a good buy. hope this helps. karl

    i bought it new from andrew at uk custom shop in january of this year. i got the rifle screw cut with a predator 8 mod, rings, bases, a scope (which i later sold on) and some ammunition for a bit under £1000. unfortunatley they had just recieved a price hike before i bought it but i dont really care i'm chuffed to bits with it and it shoots 0.3MOA with 50grain Vmax norma ammunition. as for tikka's if you are going to get one buy one of the older models not the t3 because they are built with better quality. the new t3's are certainly no better than the howa's. atb karl.

    it is definatley a good idea to buy a rifle new. the howa is definatly a top gun. i have a .223 howa with a laminate stock there is a link to a pic of it in my sig. my shotgun is a lincoln premier, it was cheap but it shoots straight and does the job asked of it. atb karl

    i've got a .22lr a .17hmr and a .223 and they all have there place. .22lr for close and quite bunnies .17hmr for long range crows and bunnies and .223 for even longer range bunnies and fox. put down .223 if you get one u'll love it. dialing in rabbits at 400yrds is very addictive. of all my rifles it's the one i take out the most. a pic's in my sig. atb karl

    good job mr logic. i recently started dialing in shots with my .223 lasered a rabbit at 220yrds, 4clicks of elevation on my fixed 10 power eb sniper scope and the 50grain V-max hit it's mark. very satisfying atb karl

    uttings are selling nikon monarch 4x40 scopes for £125(down from £200). the optics will be great. atb karl
  13. karlp86
    mamba 3-12x44 with german 4a reticle. same optics as the viper but without the huge target turrets and cluttered reticle. cheaper as well.
  14. karlp86
    you really dont need a big mag scope. a fixed 6x, fixed 8x or a 3-9x would be fine for a .22lr my .22lr has a 3-10x44 map8 hawke on it. people seem to be obsessed with high mag rifle scopes but if you get a basic scope with out all the bells and whisles then you can get one with better glass for the same price. remember people shoot out to a 1000yrds using scopes with less than 30x mag so you wont need anything close to that to hit a bunny at 100yrds. just my 2pence atb Karl
  15. karlp86
    i've looking to get a scope to be used on my .223 for dialing in targets out to extended ranges. so the question is what scope to get. i needs it to have: - a variable mag up to 20x - target turrets with reliable tracking - 1/4 or 1/8 moa adjustment - a normal duplex reticle (although mildot or something close would be ok, just not to cluttered) - 40-50mm objective - 1" or 30mm tube (i'm not bothered) - as decent optics as possible the price limit is under £400. so people, any suggestions??? atb karl

    just so you know for next time mate, it's illegal to take hare on sundays. atb karl
  17. karlp86
    i agree with deker. the .204 will probably be the best rifle for the job, that is if it is not possible to use decoys and your shotgun to get the crows. atb karl
  18. karlp86
    you squeeze a trigger, you dont pull it. pulling it will move the rifle as you fire and cause to inaccurate shooting. zero your rifle at the range you shoot most rabbits. my .22lr is zeroed at 75yrds but most zero closer than that. the .22lr has a very loopy tradjectory so a scope with hold over points on the reticle is advised. hope this helps, atb karl

    i would suggest using a heavier bullet like a 100 or 105grain hollow point to push the speed down along with the meat damage.
  21. karlp86
    personally i like the .223 as this is what i use. it's cheaper to run and is a nice mild round with plenty of range and punch for fox. 40 grain vmax at 3800fps have a look here view topic atb karl

    i've got a howa varminter in .223, it's a very nice rifle and i would highly reconmend it. as for rimfire i have two, one .17hmr cz varmint and one .22lr cz silhouette, both are very nice. the howa is second from top then the cz varmint below it and the cz silhouette at the bottom atb karl

    when i went got get my howa from andrew banner he had a .243 stalking rifle that used to belong to a friend of his that had a 13" barrel and apprently that was still very accurate.
  24. karlp86
    dont get me wrong, i'm not discrediting the .243 at all. i think it is a fantastic all rounder. it's hugh popularity throughout the world is testiment to that fact. i just thought lgray88 was looking for something it little diffferent to the mainstream so i suggested the 6mm remington. out of interest would a .270 be a good 1000yrd calibre? dont hear of many f-class shooters using it. atb karl
  25. karlp86
    well they are the same size calibre (6mm) but the 6mm remington has a slightly larger case capacity and a longer neck which makes it better for reloading. so in my book that makes it the better of these two 6mm calibres.
