Forced sale to fund my Raton FCWC-2103

[EagerNoSkill]

The upside of winning the EURO-2012 and making the GB side was that all the time, effort and money invested so far is paying off.

The downside is that it now escalates all training activities and I find myself having to sell ubber amazing Stiller-AIAX to fund my WCFC-Raton adventure
....a grudging sale to say the least...since it makes a stunning all purpose 308 for -Class / FTR / Pheonnix / McQueens / Foxing gun.

But for the next 9 months my focus has to be on practice for FCWC at Raton (New Mexico USA) and that demands new barrels, bullets and spotting scope!

So as a result for sale is the Dolphin AIAX Stiller
Built by Mik Maksomivic from Dolphin Gun - the premier gunsmith in the UK!
Whole gun is FTR-Weight (8,20kg) and was used in Euro 2011 and EURO 2012

DETAILS
AI-AX chassis that has been weight adjusted
Stiller Predator action
1:13 Bartlein barrel Inches
Jewel Trigger set at the crispest 6 ounces you have ever felt
20 MOA Rail
Nightforce 12-42 BR with MILDOT - FFP
Nightforce scope mounts
1 x Dolphin Tracker Bi-Pod
Plus All Lapua cases that have been used in that gun (+- 600)

I have the fully developed load specs for:
Berger 155.5 / 155 Hybrid / 155 Scenar / 155 Sierra 2155 /2156
The Berger 155 Hybrid load easily produces 3050 fps

PERFOMANCE
Shoots 0.2 to 0.3 Groups at 300 yards
Shoots 0.3 to 0.4 Groups at 500 yards
Shoots 0.4 to 0.5 Groups at 1000 yards

RESULTS
I won Silver at Phoenix at Short Range
Was 3rd overall in Easter shoot
I won the North London August Meet / Club Champs
Made GB Training Squad with it

It was/is the gun I was prepared to shoot the EURO's with but because my new gun finally got sorted on the Thursday before Euro I took massive risk and went with it!
Can send pics if you want and Series20, David (Ovenpaa), Rox, Dougan, Shugie, SteveieE have all shot and seen AI-AX in action and can verify it.

Price : £3,400

Paws off, oomans, we're about to pass a Badger Law forbidding you lot to own anything so good as this !

[karen]

Have you thought about raising funds any other way?

Some local councils or businesses might be able to sponsor you?

What fundraising is the team doing?

Can you sell your body? :lol:

Love

Hmmm, given the success of our Olympic shooters, might there be funding available through the lottery or Sports Council ?

Here is a pic

the barrel is being repainted to Black only

I should also add that a custom Shooting Shed Bag Rider is part of the deal!

[spud]

tim when is the barrel being painted or is it to late

[EagerNoSkill]

Only be painted in early JAN 2013
so if a buyer wants a "Nekkid" barrel it can be done

If you Spanish we can make it bright pink!

[meles meles]

It's going to be black, Spud. Black. Blackety black-black with a hint of black. Except for the white stripe.

Paws off !
