chris1wg 24 Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 this is the rifle i normally fire in work out on tour at targets bigger than bunnies and crows but i would say its always a pleasure to come home and fire that little .177 pellet rather than a 338 bullet Quote Link to post
The Duncan 802 Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Must be nice to shoot at targets that aren't gonna shoot back too. Keep safe! and 'fall out the officers' Quote Link to post
tegater 789 Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Nice one matey, all the best, shoot straight and dont miss a chance!! The principles are all the same......... the calculations are are slightly different. No dramas. ATB. Remember the 4 principles if you go into one of the taliban houses...... Shoes off.. Socks off.. Sawn Off... Safety Off..! Having said that, just chuck a frag.. Quote Link to post

chris1wg 24 Posted January 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 hi davyt ye it fires a 8.59mm round at targets upto 1400m but im sure some one has hit a target upto 2400m and killed stone dead. it hits harder than a .44 magnum at about 20 meters away. costs £ 23000. i am deploying to afghanistan in mid march for a 6 month tour hopefully abit more quiet than my last tour, so gonna try and get out as much as i can before i go Quote Link to post
