[GEOFF.223 83]

whats your view on them?

[nod 285]

Good, had mine a few years does the job

[topgun1 10]

i have the howa 243 lightning,wouldnt change it.it likes cheap ppu ammo as well.

[masmiffy 82]

Use a 1500 and its done me proud.

Shot loads of foxes with it all ranges out to around 280 yds using Hornady 55 grain and on occasions 40 grain V Max.

On criticism would be a slightly heavy trigger but that is adjustable with care.

[GEOFF.223 83]

got one myself but sent it back as the rubber stock was badly twisted so been waiting a few weeks now for stock to return.

 

i got acra glass here to bed it and pillars i made in work to put in the stock so something to do over the dark cold winter.

anyone tried the 40g through it?

[bunnybuster.ie 40]

whats your view on them?

I've had my one for just over a year now. It loves remmi 50g jhp and hornady 55g soft points, when I can get my hands on them that is.

Get a good one you are fine, a bad one you aren't.

 

On the whole they are good reliable well priced guns, some of the barrel threading/crown has been terrible though, UK Custom shop used to do them all then.

Picked 1 up and put it down because of the distorted rubber stock. Reputedly fine until you shoot it off a bipod

We shoot off a bipod and have no problems! Had over 150 foxes with it in 2 'seasons'

Are we talking the Hogue stock?

 

I hate the thing with a vengence, but I am not aware of any problems with them, most owners seem to quite rate them from what I can see!

Yes the Bendy Hogue stock.

Like you I casn see here that many don't find it an issue and shoot well with them, that's great, but I prefer something that moves the cross hairs when I move my hand, :boogy: :boogy:
