My mates .204 M77MkII does exactly what you describe, on several ocasions he has driven the projie back into the case mouth & also ejects the cases outa sight! I know of 2 other shooters that have unreliable feeding issues with their .223s. The mate with the .204 also has an older M77 .22-250 wh...

Not this weekend NH I'll be in Casino shooting the Border War service rifle match....come & have a look If you get time!
There's optic rifle matchs on sunday if you want to have a crack.
cheers Mort

NH ,the place I shoot on at Nana Glen has some tree huggers on one side & while we can plink away with the springers unoticed the crack of the PCPs would draw some unwelcome attention!
I'll catch up with Gavin & see what we can organise.
cheers Mort
Gavin, Pm coming

thanks for the offer Gavin, I shoot a.22 cal HW97.I bought it of Lewis a couple of years ago. My mate & I spend many afternoons on the Orara at Nana Glen shooting rabbits pigeons or anything else feral that sits in front of the cross hairs. I'd have to wear a mask & gloves to shoot your air ...

Nice rig Gavin...If you're ever involved in a freak accident where you loose all your fingers,I'll come & shoot it for ya! No trouble at all! :lol: ...& I'll even let you watch.Hope you've plenty of slugs cause I've only a few thousand .22 RWS super domes & they won't last long! Cheers M...

thanks for your ideas fellas, my lens pen wouldn't budge it but I bought some lens cleaning stuff called Iso Pro from Dick Smiths (iso alchol) It worked like a charm!
cheers

I need to clean off what appears to be a very fine paint mist over spray on a scope lens .
Can someone recomend how to do this safely without damaging the lense coating.
cheers Mort

I have the 6-24x50SF BD, which is a good scope, but as it came off a varminting rifle and has a mildot ret, I can't help as to how well it tracks as I rarely dialled in, and certainly never used it at the distances you will! It's close to my Zeiss Conquest optically, and not as good as my Nightforc...

I borrowed a CZ SP01 9mm to shoot class 1,I think I'll have to buy myself one!
Jeez didn't the tap water stink at the caravan park.....smelled like a fart every time the tap was used!
mind you there were a lot of stray farts floating around in our van , we were in the van next to Ben.

Great shoot wasn't it Drew! I was one of the Nat team GMs that you shot against. My swede knocked all the rams bar one & I shot him in the cock :lol: We (Grafton team) shot on Fri & sat & traveled to Spring Ridge to shoot in a Belly Flopers Prize Shoot on sunday....great weekend all roun...

G'day Chris,
do the 80grainers feed from the mag, if not what projie will you use for the field rifle match?
cheers Mort

Thanks Ogre, they sound like great value for money!
At that price ,I wouldn't feel so bad about loosing cases in the grass.
Mort

ogre, how do you rate them against lapua brass? i was going to buy another 100 lapua cases for the m96 ,but at that price i could pick up several hundred!
Mort

BB,the chickens are at 40m then pigs at 60m then turkeys at 77m then rams at 100m. .... sorry mate but there's no wonkeys in silly wets :lol: I 've used a 6-18 leupy but only on the lower magnifications ( bigger the picture the bigger the wobble) There's probably a SSAA web page describing the anima...

AJ once you're sighted in at 90m , move the target & shoot it at 60m & 30m & then out at 120m without adjusting your elevation. This will give an idea of trajectory from your rifle & you can work out how much hold over or under you need at various ranges, it also shows if your scope ...
