Asa, It blew up in 2009. Cheers Vince (UK)

Mr Logic, You are obviously from the UK so be logical and contact Osprey Rifles. Poprietor Stuart has just set a new 1000 yd FTR Class record at Blair Atholl with his Savage F/TR rifle. Stuart builds 'em shoots 'em and fixes 'em. Website www.ospreyrifles.com e-mail stuart@ospreyrifles.com...

Pierre, Run the case through a Lee 6-284 body die. Vince (UK)

Thank you - it is 6-32 UNC. Such threads are no longer common in the UK but I did manage to get some screws. Thanks Vince (UK)

Guys, Maybe this is one for Nesika Chad but anyone know the thread used for the trigger-hanger on a Nesika J action? Thanks Vince (UK)

Butch That would be Russell Gall of Aberdeen, Scotland www.rgrifles.com Cheers Vince (UK)

308 sako I use a 1 in 8 with a 243 AI and 115 DTACS for 1000 yard benchrest - they stabilise fine at 3200fps. Vince (UK)

Shinny I just shot a 600 yd BR match with a 10-50 Sightron today. I was using a 22 Dasher and it's hard to pick out the shot-holes with scopes in the 36X area. I could easily see the 22 holes so that was good. Focussing is very critical - but not a problem and probably good if you need to use...

Adrian, A tip? - Don't use leather for the ears - Cordura works much better - especially when it gets wet! Cheers Vince (UK)

Stefan, Try Peter Jackson at www.jacksonrifles.com in the UK. He is an official McMillan stockist and carries a good selection. Unfortunately, he will be at the IWA show until next Wednesday Vince (UK)

Ken, Our first 100 yard match is on Easter Saturday followed by 1000 yards on the Sunday and 600 yards on Easter Monday. Full calendar on our website at www.ukbra.co.uk Hope to shoot with you soon! Cheers Vince(UK)

Hi Ken, Come and shoot benchrest with us at Diggle and we will show you a moving backer. Cheers Vince (UK)

Bob, Yes - I've done a few barrels with this reamer/freebore - you can use either the 108 or 123 gn Scenar. Cheers Vince (UK)

Guys, Can we talk about the 22 Beggs? This is the route I took - BAT S action, 1 in 15 Bartlein, 52 gn Bart's bullets. I tried various powders - like H4198, Vit 130 but came back to Vit 133. I shot it in the 2008 season and won one match with a 0.21 agg. - my best agg. for some time! Most of...

Jonas, Try this one. www.members.aon.at/oebrsv/seite 2.htm Cheers Vince

Hi Jonas, Yes - it's in Holles Austria from 24th to 28th August 2010. Try www.members.aon.at See you there. Vince (UK)

Fergus, Stuart, Great to hear from you - thanks for responding. I'm seriously chasing weight to even mount the March 40X, so the zoom might be a step too far with this rifle. Snow? Diggle? (Any day now!) Best wishes Vince (UK)

Hi 'vette, Lots of us in the UK are now using the 8-32 Sightrons for 800-1000 yd F Class. I don't know about US pricings but they are about half the cost of the NXS in the UK. Cheers Vince (UK)

Guys, Your response has been magnificent and very helpful. Weight-wise, a variable is out so it's down to 40 or 50X. Opinion (Tony, Jackie, Brendan, Jean etc.) appears to favour the 40X. Jim Kelbly also informed us of the 3/32 dot now available. So, that's my choice - 40X with 3/32 dot...

Guys, Some advice please. I'm about to order a March scope for 100 and 200 yard benchrest. Which is the preferred power - 40, 50 or 60? Which reticle? Eighth or sixteenth dot? I currently use 36X Leupolds with crosshair/dot reticles. Thanks Vince (UK)
