New Toy - Mini Me

[EagerNoSkill]

She has a lovely balance

Could easily be a Dual field and target piece
Also as a set trigger option

I was seriously looking at the Savage range then this one ambushed me

What can I say we buy on emotion and justify on facts :-P

Will have it at Bisley this Sat for Zombie shoot
So you welcome to fondle and get sense of it :cheers: :cheers:

Was also looking at theTitan but this one had edge in magazine overal look, barrel, balance and military ammo option :shakeshout: :shakeshout:

[Dr. Strangelove]

By military ammo do you mean 62gn rounds?

ENS don't put 5.56 through it - I know it is hotly debated, but the consensus is that 223 and 5.56 are NOT the same round - SAMI rates the 5.56 far higher than the .223 - Have a look around the tinternet.

You should be OK with 55gn American M193 ammo as that was loaded to same specs as commercial .223. But avoid the 5.56 nato ammo unless the manufacturer states the chamber is suitable.


Anybody with a .223Rem. and contemplating using 'milsurp' ammo should research the subject thoroughly and make sure they understand the differences between .223Rem, 5.56x45 and 5.56x45 Nato ammo.

Of course, you can always create 'Mexican match' ammo from your 'milsurp if you are that way inclined. (like wot I am)

[EagerNoSkill]

Thanks for heads up boys!

I do plan to relaod

See has 1:9 twist so the bullet weight of 69 to 75 gn should be optimal

Andy,

Would you mind explaining?

Cancel that - I googled it!

I've one of these with the HS Precision stock.

It's a wonderful small rifle and awesome for McQueen-type competitions and 300 yard shooting.

At one time it was my only centrefire rifle and I would shoot every distance all the way to 600 yards.
