Nice one, always exiting going for new kit, hope you get what you want dude.

Nice one mate. All the best. Go and enjoy

[celticrusader 78]

Cheers guys just got back now....got what I wanted but have to go back for the wildcat mod as they didn't have it in for .243.

Apart from that I got extras including the ammo , bipod , cleaning kit and a Zeiss duralyt 3-12x50 reduced by nearly £200 as the new model in black is out soon ..lol..so all in all a happy bunny.

Just gotta get that mod and get cracking with it now. . Exciting stuff!

Nice one CC. Mine turn next lol. Just waiting for this variation

[dadioles 68]

Yes.... but which gun did you get?

 

Eagerly waiting in anticipation......

[celticrusader 78]

Sorry lol...I got the ruger american in .243, after having a look at the weatherbys tikkas and sakos I couldn't deny I was still drawn to it so what the hell...I'm happy!

Well done CelticCrusader. I was down there myself today, drooling over the guns that I havent quite got enough saved for. So happy for,you, (and jealous) (-:

Sounds like you got a really nice set up.

My turn after yours Dan. Mad, because Ive already got my certificate. I should have saved first and then sent off for my variation. Never mind

[shropshire dan 467]

That's what my plan was maktayla but now im just as pissed because I officially own the gun but am not licensed for it lol

[celticrusader 78]

Had to sell my pulsar wack it on the credit card and now wait until I sell my quad until I pay the rest off which ain't an awfull lot, considering the rifle was £550 and the scope was the same price roughly I ended up paying £1600 for the extras....now that is crazy thank god I didn't wanna spend another £500 plus on a rifle.

[maktayla 50]

You only live once CC. Enjoy it (-:

What rounds did you get?

[celticrusader 78]

I got 58 grain Winchester varmint at the moment, the plan is if I can get down the range this weekend and they get back to me this week i'll pick up the mod on the way to the range and start chucking some rounds down range and get it zeroed.

[maktayla 50]

Good round, I'm sure. Bet you cant wait. Fingers crossed.

[maktayla 50]

Good round, I'm sure. Bet you cant wait. Fingers crossed.

 

I see winchester have a ballistics app but only available for Iphone. Strelok on android doesnt look to bad if youre into the ballistics side of things

[celticrusader 78]

Thanks!...a good point I hadn't thought of, will see if I can get ballistic app.

One thing I have managed to do was order a spare magazine for the range at £50 instead of the £100 SGC was offering...yeh right guys!.. Had enough out of me I think.
