i found my group opened up a fair bit at 100yrd, but wasn't too bad drop wise, best thing about Oundle is the wind isn't too bad most of the time.

What kind of groups were you seeing at 50 and 100?

this was at 50m

I can't find any from 100yrd, also can't remember what ammo this was, but is likely to be 115gr S&B FMJ. expect it would have been fired using a front rest, and fired in a plinking manner, IE as the sight settles back on target, not shooting super accurately

When I had one it would easily get 1-1.5" groups at 100m with 124gr Geco (on a bipod with a x9 scope). I seem to remember the zero being virtually identical for 20m and 100m as well. I couldn't fault the accuracy of these guns, just my ability to fire it quick enough for competition standard and SGC's aftersales 'care' lol

What comps were you entering with it - and what we're you up against?

Agree on the 20m/100m zero, they are very accurate with the right ammo, mine won a couple of Imperial gallery comps at Bisley last summer and just shot a lovely offhand 20yd target using iron sights (magpul flip ups) in the Hendon League a few weeks ago.

122gr lead flat point, 3.5gr Bullseye.

Well spotted on both counts, I find they jam if you load them too short, trial and error over many thousands of reloads, it's only an issue with LTC, LRN always feed perfectly but LTC is where the accuracy is.

I like your quad-rail equivalent. Any chance of a better pic please?
