Thank you both
yes I am rather pleased with it although I cannot really tell the difference in shooting it to my .270's, recoil and jump feel about the same
and I do rather like the .270 Winchester cartridge so there is no reason not to grow to like this one
.
Beautiful rifle and great performance (accuracy). I'd say it's a keeper. Once you use it prepared to be spoiled by the performance.
Perhaps someone upstairs was smiling on me after the problem with the P-H Model 1000 .243
I don't ususally use that Guntrader.UK website even though I knew about it a quick search on Google found it and I began to search originally for a .243. It was only after I expanded the search and included the 25-06 chambering that I found this one and even then it was a toss up between this one and an P-H M81 in .270 however I am very glad to have chosen this one .................. Now
That rifle's a beauty Brit!! Be sure to show us some muntjac or fallow when you use it on game (fallow being my favorite!)
Ahhh if I can swing the finances that is I am in discussion with a feller in Perthshire, Scotland, about going up in Febuary after Roe Does and of course Fallow are still in season then so depending on what we find
there is a 1000 acres on his Roe patch and I'll bet some Fallow too. There may be a chance to drop into Norfolk after Fallow and Roe which is a lot nearer to me and it's an option I am looking into
I need to replenish the supply of venison.
Now I'll admit that I will most likely change the scope once I can afford to. These Simons competition models have a rather narrow depth of Field
. The test shots were fired with it on 10x magnification and the AO had to be set at 28 yards to get the target in focus properly at 70 yards. The AO is calibrated to be used at 18X magnifiaction when it can used as a range finder as I believe they were meant for the Field Target Shooters (Air weapons) it actually has Air Gun engraved into the AO ring. Had a look and put up the BSA Hunter next to it which has a new Simmons Master series 3-10x44 scope on it and I would say it would fit a treat so perhaps I can acquire another one of them but I would like to check the one I already have out a bit more first
