Hi over here in England gunsmiths seek out tikka actions with shot out barrels and just put them to one side waiting for someone to want a rifle with a tikka action made , you might have to do the same or find a smith that has some , I think the paper work for me to get one and ship it to you would be laughable if it could be done at all

I haven't tried hornady but get great results with Berger 52 gr match sub .3 moa at 100 meters

Yorkshire to Wales is a long way mate. Are there any clubs that have access to Catterick ranges? Much close for you and options for 600m or so from memory. If you can't locate any, speak to Range Control at Wathgill Camp for advice. Good luck.

Hi there is diggle range near by but there up on the moors , but there limited to about 1000 yards , and I'm looking for up to 1500 , also if I'm of to Wales I'd have to make it a full weekend away from home ( if you know what I mean lol)

Hi in my .223 ppu shooting groups about 3 inch, sako about .75 home loads on a good day .350 , ppu can suit some barrels but not others if you're only going to shoot factory go for sako you get what you pay for

Hi I'm up in Yorkshire, the range I'm hoping to go to WMS in Wales, hope to speak to a couple of people over the next few weeks that might/ hopeful/ should be able to take me out on an shoot and give me a written report on my safety

Larkin, do you have Crown Land in England? We do here and we are free to camp, fish, hunt, hike and target shoot (with appropriate licenses of course).

Hi are you trying to wind me up lol , the answer is we have crown land but none of the rights you have

Hi I'm trying to get out to shoot some steel out to 1000 yard + the only problem is over here in England to shoot over land and not at a 'target ' range ' I need to get a hunting license added onto my target license, strange I know I can have a license for target shooting at a range but not over land that's not approve range for target , but it's ok if I get a hunting license even though I'm only shooting steel,

You could always price up a semi custom at mountain tactical might be cheaper in the long run has you not buying a rifle with a stock you don't like , and when you sell it it will be used , so to me it makes sense to get it how you want in the first plece with nothing that need swapping out

[Larkin]

Hi Mountain tactical the people behind this forum , they know tikkas inside out , if I was I you're side of the Atlantic there the only people I would use , they shoot them , they build them , if there's something they don't know if yet to come across it

[Larkin]

Id love to buy one of those but jeese louise $540 that's as much as my freakin' FFP scope!

I agree there a lot of money but the guy wanted a light and compact bipod , and imho on those points it's has good has it get , I was using one a month or two back and they really do work , when it's not needed you can remove it from the rifle with one hand in seconds and put it in your pocket
  Also if you buy quality gear it will last , if you buy cheaply you end up replacing it several time and over time you spend more , and the cheaper gear could let you down when you need it most

[Larkin]

They are still listing them as out of stock, but you can order them. I really need to it here by the 11th of November; should I buy the MT rail, or just grab an EGW rail?

Just send them an email, sometimes they've got too much on to read the forum

[Larkin]

When you see them they look flimsy and could break but that's not the case it's a really strong polymer

[Larkin]

Hi that's what I use , you will not be disappointed

[Larkin]

Hi don't know if you can get them in your part of the world but have a look at Steinert neopod, expensive but surprisingly good

[Larkin]

Hi I could go on and on about which scope you should get ( Minox Zp / S&b pm11) but if you're happy with the Vortex just get another one , there a  good midrange scopes you could do a lot worse,
