Shooting SHED Newsletter July 2013 #2

[ovenpaa]

The SHED is going to the Imperial!

This is our second newsletter and the BIG News this time is the Shooting SHED/Dansk Gevaer will be at the Bisley Imperial Meeting 12th – 14 th of July 2013, this will be our second trade show and we will be putting into practice all that we have learned from the Phoenix back in May of this year.

The plan is again we will be located in our very own Shooting SHED trade stand, this time opposite the NRA office building. Hopefully you will not be able to miss the stand which is a black pop up affair with the Shooting SHED logo along the sides and front. Inside you will find myself, Christel, James and of course Zeus the dog. Yet again the European F/TR champion Tim Stewart will be demonstrating C2R over the three days so if you have a rifle barrel that needs cleaning, give it to Tim! Ask and he may even share some of the secrets that led to his success at the Euros end of last year.

Also joining us will be Robert Chombart, designer of the M41 CG INCH Action plus the M59 Lightweight actions, M66 tube chassis systems with integral receiver and the M75 tube chassis system for the existing M41 CG INCH. Yes, I know it sounds like a lot to take in so come and take a look; Robert will be delighted to explain the finer details of this new range of products.

Products on display will include: A range of shiny things from the SHED including our cleaning rod guides, bag rider systems and the Shooting SHED ‘scope alignment system. Also on display will be the popular SHED OAL gauge and the new modular 2P cartridge comparator system. We will also have the new offset rail mounted front bag rider system plus the launch of a very special new product for F/TR shooters.

Our new range of lightweight actions and rifle chassis systems: The Imperial will also see the UK launch of the new range of C.G INCH rifle actions and chassis systems, we are building these as part of a collaborative project with Chris Quartermaine of Action Clear in Australia. Chris had hoped to be able to join us however he is tied up with work in Australia, fortunately we have Robert Chombart of C.G INCH/RPA Quadlock and Millenium design fame with us. Robert has a proven history of rifle action designs and 51 out of 96 Palma Match team shooters used C.G action variants at the 2011 Brisbane World Long Range Championships. Additionally, within the TOP 7 positions 5 were C.G Actions 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th and 7th places. Robert certainly knows how to design rifle actions.

M59 rifle actions: The LMT (Light Metal Target) and the LMR (Light Metal Repeater) As an example the LMR weighs 830 grams including the trigger and has a Remington 700 external foot print to drop into existing stock systems, it is very different inside and it features a 22,0mm core diameter 3 lug bolt amongst other things.

M66 rifle system: This is our lightweight tube rifle featuring an M59 type receiver as an integral part of the chassis system. This is a purpose built rifle system as opposed to the more conventional systems which simply sleeve an existing rifle action; this means we can offer a very rigid, slimmer lighter rifle in both single shot and repeater versions, both include the C.G trigger and 20 minute ‘scope rail and the repeater takes the industry standard AICS magazines in either 5 or 10 shot.

The M66 chassis is fully adjustable including LOP, butt offset and height and a fully adjustable cheek piece including forward/aft, height and cant control so you really can set this rifle to suit your shooting style and position as opposed to trying to adapt your position to a more conventional chassis system. Key areas of adjustment are graduated and laser etched so you can return to your settings when needed and the rear section features a quick release latch from the main tube for ease of cleaning and bolt removal.

Options are available for F Class and Target Rifle including accessory rail, TR option front tube adapter, and front bag rider adjustable for offset, rear bag rider adjustable for height and anatomical hand grips.

M75 rifle chassis system: This is our new tubular chassis system for the C.G INCH action and features a one piece tube and the same fully adjustable chassis system as the M66 including the LOP, butt offset and height and a fully adjustable cheek piece including forward/aft, height and cant control so you really can set this rifle to you as opposed to trying to adapt your position to a more conventional chassis system. Key areas of adjustment are graduated and laser etched so you can return to your settings when needed and the rear section features a quick release latch from the main tube for ease of cleaning and bolt removal.

All of the new actions and chassis systems are vapour honed and type 3 hard anodised to military specification and can be supplied in other colours by special demand.

The full range of C2R products will be available at special show prices along with a range of cleaning patches, spear point jags and brushes including hard aluminium and stainless jags to minimise false copper indication when cleaning. We will also have Tim Stewart with us to demonstrate the use of C2R, so don’t forget to ask him lots of questions!

Also on show will be the new acoustic Steinert SuperChrono, this Norwegian produced chronograph offers many advantages over the more traditional chronographs including increased sensing range, the ability to be placed down range for confirming velocity at target and G7 calculations, plus the ability to work in any light conditions as it uses acoustic sensors to detect the passing bullet. We have tested the SuperChrono against some of the competition and find it very accurate against the very best systems on the market. In our opinion this is one of the very best offerings of its kind and it is already in use at some of the UK ranges as well as by some of our top shooters.

We will of course be stocking some SHED merchandise including the much coveted SHED beanie hats.

There will be many other things on display and we are all looking forward to yet again putting some faces to the many names we have corresponded with and spoken to over the last year.

The stand really was one of the best at the Phoenix (not just saying that), with lots of new and interesting things tongueout

Though I fully appreciate the engineering and innovation that has gone into the new rifles, and really enjoyed getting my paws on them, they aren't really my thing (I'm a SOWR lover at heart, and consider my Swing a modern rifle) - But I can't wait to see a decent TR shooter use one...the Gemini system, also fully adjustable, has become quite popular and the new 'Tube Rifles' could prove a competitive alternative...

Also have to say that I love the 'shiny stuff' - The rod guides are superb...don't forget I need a couple more after you guys get over the Imperial razz

I hope all goes well (the weathers looking good ) and you have great weekend :cheers:
