A World Premier - The Model 75 Tube rifle

[tackb]

looks cool and it's british , whats not to like?

[Meaty]

I thought that might be the case
I have always liked the tube gun concept and have a few fag packet designs scribbled down for my own retirement project-If I ever make it that far!!

It's origins are a bit further afield, this is the brain child of Robert Chombart in France as part of the Action Clear range of products which is Chris Quatermaine in western Australia who is supplying the C.G INCH Action. The chassis manufacture and assembly will take place in the UK.

The Model 66 has similar roots and will be built in the UK with the initial exception of some of the pressure bearing components, it is intended to bring the manufacture of those here as well.

....... I will lay money on some people looking very carefully at what ENS shot this year it was only 112 very lucky shots in a row!
.......

Dougan you ask a very valid question. I can only refer to the FTR environment where I am a newbie still but bear with my conceptual thoughts and musings

Barrel Length decisions affect several elements
Profile :
Affects WEIGHT and ACCURACY : The thickness, shape and overall length will affect the Deflection of a barrel and define the theoretical nominal accuracy for a given barrel.

Twist
To ensure optimal stability of the bullet in defined conditions for intended shooting distances (Miller of 1.4 plus)

Throat
Presuming a ideal throat / lands combinations to maximise tuning and powder charge

In a perfect world it would be ideal to have ONE base chassis setup for oneself:
Scope - eye relief
Trigger
Chassis length of pull
Cheekpiece setup

Alternates in say 1:13 for 155 x's
1. 300 - 600 : 26 inch barrel rigid and focussed on accuracy
2. 600 plus you have a 30-32 inch barrel that you can maximise velocity for wind drift versus accuracy
3. 3rd 1:11 barrel in 30-32 for say 185 g X bullets in case of extreme winds

You swop out in literally 45 to 60 seconds whilst talking "poppycock" with your fellow shooters
No headspace issues
No Setup issue
:goodjob:

In "normal" terms - you would have had to have 3 full guns + scopes
OR
Need 30 minutes to swop barrels / check headspace etc.

What is their NOT to like!

FRENCH ! sign01 wtfwtf

:flag5:

actually on reflection it looks dreadful and is unlikely to shoot very well at all in fact it will either surrender or run away i would imagine

:lol: Oh dear TackB, I was so looking forward to hearing you views on it at the firing point first hand as well, I thought we could drag Dr W out of hibernation for a threesome at BR...

Each to their own!

Well I have French Hugenot blood in my veins :55: so I like it!

When I look through the scope and see a "V" - that is what counts!

We dont give prizes for prettiest guns!

back on thread (and i apologise for my lighthearted diversion) this does look like a great rifle not my cup of tea but being an engineer i appreciate the design.
