Merry christmas to all and safe shooting from Ireland

Thanks for the link ,good reading ,sir.Sound like your fairly handy at getting good groups ,alright ! Its good to hear from a person who have been there and done that .Last week was my first time shooting paper beyond 200 yards .I have lost to learn by the sound of thinks .

Bought a NEW 12LRPV (.204) a month ago and it did not have the fluted barrel (earlier mfg.), and I never had to readjust the target trigger......it is so smooooooooth that after barrel break-in you just cant help but shoot 5 shot groups @ 100yds in the .1's and at 600 yards (over 1/3 mile) mine is ...

Got back out today on the range with my smiths custom .204 .3-5 mph an hour cross winds ,but on bad compaired to the first attempt.First i shoot the factory 40s at 150 yards with groups of about half inch .Then i went to 320 yards ,but was dissapointed with groups of 2-3" .I then put the 39gr f...

Update ! Really windy today(25mph gusts and heavy rain ) when i went to the range and zeroed the lothar walther .Only shoot 2 groups at 100 yards with hand loads and factory loads of 40gr hornady .Hand loads were about half inch C-C and factory loads were about a quarter inch more . Not bad in thoes...

paddy As Trevort says. LW is a top quality Euro barrel. Their Stainless version is somewhat of a proprietery molecular grade. Simply put its harder than most American stainless barrels. Thats good for the shooter as they should last a little longer than most. Some U.S. gunsmiths have a heck of a ti...

they are a top quality euro barrel at least the equivalent of the top American makes but just cos its a match grade barrel doesnt mean you'll get a better result. The 1 in 12 is marginal for the 40gn so it may work or it may not. I waited 14 months for a 1 in 10 twist barrel to get here from the st...

If it will shoot that well at 300 yards, I would consider that to be very good. For good measure, try it at 400 and 500 if you can. Dont know much about target shooting but my gunsmith is very good at his job .Seen a friend of mine shoot 1" groups at 600 yards with a .308 my smith build . He w...

I have been given the choice of a brand new lothar walther of any twist or used barrel with a 1-12 twist .The used one belongs to my gun smith and is used on a demmo bench rifle .The best thing about the used one is it only has fired 150 ish rounds and he is willing to let me shoot it on the range b...

Hi guys , changing my factory Remmy VLS barrel to a lothar walter aftermarket barrel . Factory barrel wont shoot 40gr .The lothar walter, is a bull ,fluted ,stainless ,26" 1-12 twist barrel .They are made in Germany and would like to know if anyone has heard of them before ?

The sako .22lr is a top rimfire .Hard to get a finnfire over here ,now a days .My savage has an 11* crown and bedded.The cci,s sub are only a budget hunting round and shoot really well .Im hoping that a custom match chamber will improve my groups and lower my flyers a bit.Not sure what reamer my smi...

Got the savage back from the smith and now it shoots good .My problem now is that it only shoots one brand good .(cci) All other brands like eley,lapua and rws are really bad still .My smith offered to rechamber it to a match one .Has anyone any taughts on this ?The cci,s seem to be that bit longer ...

Update on my BTVS .Sent it to my gunsmith 2 weeks ago and he said that the crown was not square to the bore.Getting it recrowned so .I am also getting it pillar and glass beded . It will be back this week so should make a big difference to my groups he said . :D :D .Hard to imagin that the crown cou...
