Oops, I'm a bit skint now...
Just got back from Bromsgrove Shooting Supplies...
A little bit skinter than I went there...
Picked up a .223 Rem 700 Police, Bushnell Elite 4.5-30x50 mildot, harris 6-9" bipod, Lee Deluxe Die Set (.223) Lapua Brass (100), Sierra MatchKings 69gr (100), cci primers, leupold quick release rings and some V mounts... got some other little bits too!
happy happy! just need to get out and shoot it...
I'm sure I paid a bit more for some of it than I could have done, but I got it locally and the staff are friendly and helpful :)
Just need to try and bore sight it so I can get on the frame at 300 yards next weekend for its first outting!
Also need to work on some rounds! methinks next weekend is going to be a little bit difficult!!
Heres Jim putting the scope on for me in the shop :)

What better way to spend your Saturday than on some retail therapy!
Sounds like you bought the entire shop...
Looking forward to seeing the target result.

Nice one, loads of new stuff to play with!
Re: Oops, I'm a bit skint now...
Well done!
I bought a Bushnell elite 4200 because it was there and very reasonably priced. I hesitated because I'm a dyed in the wool Leupold man. The scope has impressed the hind legs off me! I really would recommend them.
69gn SMK's......? Vhit N140 was outstanding for me.

In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

Nice system and it should serve you well, they can be clinically accurate out to 600m and further. :goodjob:
Now we need a range report. :lol:

Remeber, the rifle and scope are 'liquid assets', with acceptable depretiation - so you havn't really 'spent' any money, just converted it into something more interesting ....that's how I justify it to myself anywayTattooedGun wrote:Just got back from Bromsgrove Shooting Supplies...

Range report to follow, however it might be a bit hectic for me to take pictures as usual :(ovenpaa wrote:Nice system and it should serve you well, they can be clinically accurate out to 600m and further. :goodjob:

I've only got Varget powder, I didnt pick up any powder whilst I was at the store, I kinda spent enough and knew I had some at home anyways! I picked Varget in the beginning because I knew it was suitable for .223 and .308! we'll see what i can do though! a bit apprehensive about a new untested load and not really having the rifle sighted in for its first outting next week :(Sim G wrote:Well done!
