Should add it is an ejector, single trigger.
PayPal and to RFD can be arranged.

I have an A Bolt and it shoots sweet. The gold trigger is a nice touch and my only problem with it was that the thread wouldn't allow a T8 moderator to be fitted so I have an ATEC mod which is lightweight but really loud.

Why is page 1 on this copied every time I try and move to page 2 on tapatalk iPad app? All pages just show the content on the first page yet there is supposed to be 324 posts, bizarre.

Nicely done! Your grouping is better than your drawing skills
How did the moss hold up as a makeshift bipod? I've been known to use a hoodie all rolled up and tucked into the hood to make a softish lump to rest on. Still can't bring myself to spend £90 on a Harris bipod and I'm unsure that any others would hold up well enough.
Time to crack out the PPUs and see if they float your boat as much!
Haha I left the house forgetting to print a target to pin to the board and had to improvise with the pencil in the car! :-/
Funny you say that, I folded my padded jacket and laid in top of the moss mound and the only thing wrong was my heavy shaky breathing... I've ordered a stick for future adventures, the bipod doesn't really appeal much to me.

can never seem to up load pics in here striker…….but imo you won't go to far wrong with ppu……..i recently got a grouping @ 125yds what ya could cover with a 20p piece …….and at £12.50 a box its very happy days
If you crop your pictures to less than 500kb it will let you attach pics.

I've got a box of winchester 80g there to try tomorrow when zeroing , of which I have some leftover from breaking in the barrel. Will see how they perform tomorrow, if they group we'll great, if not my next stop will be to try PPU.
I'm looking for a local dealer as I've only got right to buy 60 on my licence atm which may prove to be a pain.
I think as long as you get your scope sorted then that's the main thing. Like I said, as soon as my scope was done I've picked up a couple of boxes of the 90gr to try out. Hope they do work well with my rifle as it will save me a packet in the long run - not planning on home loading anytime soon.
Please shout back with how you get on. What sort of rifle do you have?
I recently posted a separate topic on my new rifle. I bought the Browning A bolt in .243. Will post photo of my targets with grouping shots results at the weekend and let you know how I got on with the Winchester 80g. I missed my big target board set up with first few bullets when breaking rifle in from 150yds so imagine I might need the whole box to get it close to the bullseye as they say!
Excellent, I'll have a look out for it.
Can't beat a good bore sighting by eye then getting on paper at 25 yards then taking back to 100 (then on from there if required) - should save you a few rounds
My update from an hour on the hillside zeroing.
13 shots later and I'm happy with the grouping. Didn't have a bipod but used the moss on the hillside as a cushion. Fired a few inches to the right with first 4 bullets, made a few clicks adjustments and getting shots within the 2inch circle target . Very happy with results and the Winchester 80g appear to be highly suitable for the rifle. Pic attached of target. All shots were fired at 125yds.
Cheers

Hi Striker, where in Ayrshire are you? I use PPU, great bullets in both 22-250 and 243. Forget all the crap quality talk, PPU manufacture bullets for Lapua amongst other and also the US military.
Hi I'm in East ayrshire, Auchinleck. Where do you get ammo from?

Anyone know of any stockists of Prvi partizan .243 ammo in the Ayrshire/ Glasgow area?
Going to set the sights on new rifle tomorrow and might as well try this ammo given it's less than half the price of brand names.
Any info much appreciated.
Cheers

A Bolt in .243 new costs between £510-569 depending where you buy it. The gunsmith talked me into it after having narrowed down my preference to either the browning A Bolt or the tikka T3.
The T8 mod wasn't a perfect fit on it for some strange reason so it's got the blazer to put on it.

Not sure how long in Newcastle but here in West coast of Scotland it took bout 3 weeks from interview.

Was that for Roe deer and or/ fox rocket_man?

Recently purchased a new Browning A Bolt .243 and currently breaking the gun in. Couple of questions for the guys on here:
- Has anyone used an A Bolt on here and what was your view on your experience of using this rifle?
- I'm trying Winchester 80g bullets to start and see how they pan out initially. What bullets did you find suited the gun? I've watched a review on YouTube which grouped within 1inch using 55g hollow points.
Cheers

Edd

Looking for a used .243 rifle with accessories including scope & moderator. Trying to stick to budget of £500ish. Anyone selling in West/ Central Scotland?
Cash waiting.

Just received my GDK 4 Gun cabinet today and went to open it and realised they have sent the wrong keys for one of the locks.
Anyone experienced this before with them? Wondering if they will pickup and send a new locker or be able to send the correct keys by checking the serial number.
Waiting to receive my coterminous which is conditional on having the cabinet installed, so tho delay is a pain in the backside...
Cheers
