finally got to Bisley for a full day with some of my toys.
first off, Short Siberia 100 yrds, here I managed to zero the AUG with its new Fox scope 10-40x50 (almost overhangs both ends! ) in 4 shots, (this time I worked out that removing the bolt carrier and trigger group meant I could bore sight it, last time took a lot more rounds, and a oath to never again darken the door to the zero range!)
the AUG is very accurate even though it has a trigger best described as "positive"
and I was able to get some sub MOA groups going even with Wolf budget ammo.
then the Winnie 190, last time out this little beast was topped out on the scope elevation and still 20" low! this time I had shimmed the rear mount and the first shot was 20-30" high! happy days, a couple more shots and a lot of turret spinning later and I was on target
its really weird after .308 to be able to maintain your sight picture and (after a considerable delay) see the strike! this little rifle has a trigger that almost makes the AUGs seem light, but it really is great fun to shoot at 100yrds, not as tight a group as the AUG but not too shabby, I had to put it away in the end due to the constant whinging from the bench next door (something about brass in the head area? ) :55: would love to have seen what they made of AUG if I hadn't tilted it during extraction (that summabitch really tosses the brass into space!)
afternoon saw us heading to 300 falling back to 600 on Century.
the K31 was brought out for a few shots at 300 and 600 and with irons only managed several v-bulls and all shots in the black! this really is a sweet rifle to shoot! I even was able to use the rear ramp range markings appropriate for the distances involved (even though its marked in metres not yards) if you haven't tried one of these beauties you really must! I keep a scope for 1000 yrds and to be honest I have gone off it for 100 yrds because it burns ammo too easily :shakeshout:
the AUG shot pretty much spot on with only minor adjustments at 300, at 600 however it was very obvious the the point of impact moved higher as the rifle warmed up ? never by much and not enough to spoil my day, but it would not be ideal in a comp (just as well I'm not entering it for one then
) the big surprise was when I changed ammo from Wolf to GGG WOW! almost 6 MOA of elevation had to come off to get back on the bull 
the difference in the ammo at that range was stunning! so thats settled then 1-300 Wolf @ £24x100 and for the longer stuff or when its windy GGG @ £38x100 ! the Fox scope was fantastic value for money, only becoming a bit milky at 40x and between 10 and 20x was almost as good as some of the much more expensive scopes there on the day! time will tell as to how it lasts , but @£124 delivered with a 1 year gty whats not to like?
