Target Rifle

[42DAF]

I’m looking to restart target rifle so will now need my own rifle. As always first rifle I’d rather not looking to send a fornute so thinking of a Musgrave or Swing a mate in Oz has also recommended Sportco.

I recon I’m better with a use Target Rifle than trying to repurpose one of my current rifles Remi 700 most likely.

So what’s your guys advice anything to avoid?

I have a Swing Mk 4 which I bought soon after I started full-bore rifle.............I'd certainly recommend one. They can be sourced at a reasonable price.

Here's one: http://www.helstongunsmiths.com/default ... 11%3A35+PM

I'm sure that there's someone in every club with something suitable for sale. I know of at least two available up here for less than £500.

That sound very reasonable and as long as they would shoot sounds ideal. I’ve not joined a club yet just shooting at Bisley with a couple of good shots I know and after last week they are encouraging me to shoot the imperial for experience and see if I can hold the scores in competition not just practise.

Have a look on HPS-TR website I think they have a couple

And if you do get a Swing (which I can also recommend) I have the target sights for one, as I shoot mine with a scope in informal club shoots.

Jim Halam has 3-4 TRs some look very good bore. 0775 3697888. he might be at the Spring action weekend. Also ask Tom Rylands Ellesmere target sports or David Crispin of Crispin Engineering.

Sport-co is the forerunner of the Angel then Barnard action - 3 lug & were very good. fitted to a decent stock, with a good barrel & sights they will shoot well.

I wouldn't shoot the Imperial just for experience & with a new gun. Shoot some open meetings & get plotting wind etc in place then shoot the imperial & you will do much better. Also try to get 900 & 1000 yd zeros with the 2019 Imperial batch of ammo before then. Many use the BCRC meeting to do that. (NB dont buy the 2018 GGG Imperial it defective).

Tom is looking for me he’s one of the good shots I spent a week on the range with and maintains our work armoury for us. I’ll google the others thank you.

I may try and shoot some of Cadet Imperial depending how busy I am running around

I’m looking for a Musgrave, Swing or Paramount 308 target rifle 30-32” barrel ideally and still got life left in the barrel but will consider one that needs a new barrel.
Has anyone got anything kicking about.
Thank you
