[QUOTE="Centre Punch, post: 86821, member: 3048"] Hi David, I have visited the harem of Norman Clark and romped to the tune of several thousand pounds, he built me a benchrest gun in 2001, his palace is almost on my doorstep just 7 miles away. I met Brit at Bisley in 1989 at the anno domini pistol meeting and we met up there every year since, even after the pistol ban, up untill 2002. We now meet up several times a year at Ministerly (where i am a member) for a couple of days target shooting, load developement and good company. Anyway back to the point i have visited Fultons many times, and its like going through a time warp, never bought anything there though. You were right about my burner being a Riflecraft, which i bought from Dave Ryan. I bought it used, it only having had 2 boxes of factory through it. I have been getting a lot of stick about it, people saying that Riflecraft are crap, i checked it over thoroughly and could not fault the workmanship. I also had Norman check the throat which was fine. I bought it in june but due to my muscular Illness i have been unable to get out and shoot it ( i am walking disabled although not very well), thats why i need my car and thats where we come up to my other problem. As well as being a gun nut i am also a petrol head and have a love affair with high performance saloon cars. My current ride is a 2000 Mondeo ST200, a V6 saloon with 205ps @6750rpm, in excellent condition with only 55000 miles on the clock and i can honestly say that my rifles would go before my car. Your rifle specs sound very nice and i can visualise it right now, the paralell tube is, if you dont mind saying an unusual choice, there must be a fair bit of heft there. i thought mine was heavy at 14lbs. In my opinion the RPA action is much better suited to the AICS stock then a remmy, it makes for a very handsome installation, but the stock that gets my heart beeting faster at the moment is the new F-class from Mcmillan. I like the 260 and i think it is going to make serious inroads into the competition field especially in Improved form, together with a re-emergence of interest in the 284. Its a very well balanced cartridge, possibly only being outshone by the 6.5x55. I have got my eyes on a used 40xb in 7mmSTW, its got a shagged barrel which i want to rebarrel myself, when i am set up. I too would be using a border barrel but i think i will try their Archer range to see how good they are. Ian "I meant to shoot the pike but the duck got in the way" Simon, apologies for this hi-jack, but you know we can get a bit carried away sometimes. [/QUOTE]
