A Hawke Panorama 3-9x40 IR AO mil, I`ve the funds for the Howa, a decent scope will have to wait. :-(

Nothing wrong with Hawke mate.

Well she's a cool looking rifle Booked in at Bisley on the 100 yard range for 12th November. Can't wait group some.308.

Nothing wrong with Howa.

 

What is your main intended use, that must weight a ton with a 24" varmint barrel?

 

Is it brand new, the barrel will take some time to bed in if it is, don't be to disappointed if the group isn't great to start with, and as always, the odds are you will need to try assorted ammo to find the best suited.

Second hand, but is as if it's never been fired, or at least very little. Yes, 24" barrel, which I'm told is the most accurate? Its use will be, % Bisley @ 200, 600, and 1000 yards 20% Deer stalking, which will be off stickers/bipod. From what i've read it favours 168g but will shoot 150/185g. http://www.snipercentral.com/howa-supreme-varminter/

Good luck!

 

1000 is a long way, but rewarding!

I would love to try some long range target shooting but there are no decent rifle ranges in Shropshire
