The UK's Finest Independent Forum for Shooters and Gun Owners. Est 2010.

Hi,
I just joined the forum, My name is Gary and I live in North Northumberland. I have shot all my life (52 soon) and have two sons 22 and 27, ( thats their ages not names). We live on 1000 acres of Beef farm which we dont own, just live in the farm house.
I own a computer programming company and shoot at Ponteland Rifle Club.

We shoot:-
French bolt action .410,
Berreta 20 Bore Over and under with 30 inch Barrels
1928 english box lock ejector side by side with 28 inch Barrels
Aya Yeoman side by side with 28 inch barrels
Berreta Silver Pigeon over nad under with 28 inch Barrels

A CZ Silhouette in .22 lr
and a Tikka T3.

Reloading on a Dillon 550B, well I will be when the border agency lets go of my caliber conversion kits.

Next purchase will be a .308, probs a Styre Mannlicher ssg 69 p11 with a Schmidt and Bender 12x50x56 pm11 buy not yet.

Hello Gary, welcome to the forum

Thank you!

Hi Gary - welcome!

I live near Alnwick and am a member of Felton and District Rifle club - we have an indoor 25 yd range for .22 and an outdoor 100 yd quarry - but only for .22 and pistol calibres unfortunately. Not even PSG!! emrolleyes

I guess you may be somewhere near?

What's Ponteland Rifle Club like? I assume it has Full Bore facilities?

Hi,
Ponteland is very good, 100 200 and 300 details on A range and then 300 - 600. I haven't shot at Otterburn yet but that is out past 1000 years. We shoot up to about 4000Js, thats a heavy loaded 30-06.
Costs about £80 per year to shoot at least once per month and more in the summer. You will need an MOD range card which you can train for at the club.

Let me know if you wish to know more and I'll point you in the right direction.
