    New AI

    I quite fancy another AI, and was wondering what are the real differences between the AE and the AWP. I know the AE only has 5 rd mags and no pict rail and isnt screwcut for a can or a brake but are the actions the same? will the AE shoot as well as a AWP? Is the AWP worth £1000 more than the AE?

    TRG Questions

    Re: TRG Questions Irishshooter, i know what you are getting at. As Darkhorse says any 'tactical' rifle (remy700, trg, ai) are gonna be at a disadvantage past 600 against a 32'' barreled bench gun that can push 155gr smk's out at 3000 fps and thus keep them supersonic at 1000 to beat the wind...

    Accuracy International

    Re: Accuracy International John, i have owned both systems, i had a AWP for 2 years and fancied a change, was offered good money so sold the AI and bought a TRG 22 green/phosphate. Both guns are great, extremely accurate out of the box, both tough and very well made. The AI is a bit heavier...

    Barrel break-in and cleaning

    Re: Barrel break-in and cleaning Personally, i like to pass a jb bore paste mop up and down the barrel 100 times to smooth things out. Dont know if this helps but my TRG and my SGC speedmaster both shoot under 0.5 moa. ANYWAY back to the BITCHIN lol

Many ways to do this the easiest being.....shoot a lighter caliber (.223 or something similar), use a can/moderator,silencer and finally, stick on a big muzzle brake and...

    groups at 500yrds

    Re: groups at 500yrds If im working out a load or really trying for the tiny groups, i use a rear bag under the butt to steady things up. This allows you to really concentrate on your breathing, sight alignment and trigger control. But 5'' at 500 is pretty good out of a hunting rig, only...

    Enfield L39A1 target rifle 7.62x51

    Re: Enfield L39A1 target rifle 7.62x51 The L42 was a lot more rare than the L39, i think there was only about 1000 L42's made (but a shitload of fakes). The L39 was the civilian version of the Enforcer and was mainly a target rifle. Here in the UK there are a lot of the L39's for sale usually...

    Never ending copper fouling

    Re: Never ending copper fouling Im using a Butches Bore Shine and Forrest Bore Foam combo to clean then a heavy dose of Kroil before they go in the safe. If there is a lot of Carbon coming out I will use a little Mpro7 to cut through it.
