ken,

You made me do a double take on that one. Last I checked, Peter Lawman had them listed at 17-19 quid a half kilo (roughly $30 per pound). Of course I only looked at the first 3 in the list...

Vectan powder in 17 AH

Hi gents,

Powder over here is a bit more expensive and limited than you guys have back home. I'd love to try some N120 in the AH, but at 80 pounds (about $130) per kilo, it isn't an experiment...

jonathan,

The export regs on scopes is pretty clear. It specifies military grade which is interpreted as night vision. Standard sporting scopes are fine to ship.

Worth of a M70 in 22 hornet (both money and usability)

Hi gents,

What is an old Model 70 in 22 hornet good for? It will be a 50's model I believe, should be 95% or better, knowing the person who owns it. It is a family friend who doesn't shoot much....

AKMik,

While it isn't as light as a contender based one would be, my encore with factory wood and my 17AH barrel is super short and pretty light. I can't recall off the top of my head, but I...

in fact, there is a fireball on an A1 action on the UK varminting forums right now for 550 with a T4. That's a heck of a deal if you ask me.

Jordan,

In that case, I'd say either 17AH or fireball. It depends on how much work you want to do and what action you want. If you have the CZ or Annie action, then the AH is an option. All of...

My choice was the hornet. I got an 18" encore barrel with a 1/2" muzzle diameter. Super pointable and short, but still enough barrel. On a bolt gun you'd have to cut the barrel below US legal...

al,

was that 75 for a TWO kilo tub or for just a kilo? Every place I've called up here wants 75-80 per KILO with a 1 kg minimum.

Thanks

VVN-120 in 223

hi gents,

Anyone try N120 in the 223? I ask because I am going to get some for the 17AH. Of course a kilo of powder in the AH will do 1300 rounds which is enough for 10 years for me and way more...

First and foremost it depends on where you are located in the country and which police for you are under. In theory the rules are the same. In reality it is a post code lottery.

air rifles are not considered firearms by US law, neither the ATF or the DOJ (for export). If you can find one and the shipper can verify that it is for an air rifle, you might be alright.

Thanks for the info. I'll have a play with an empty cartridge and see if I can get the primer pocket opened up a little.

A 200 yard zero will put you 1" high at 100 yards and 1" low at ~230. That's a 20 gr v-max at 3800. A 50 yard primary zero isn't far from that.

Thanks
Rick
