Just remember not to put the rifle away with the sound mod still on the rifle , as there have been a few cases of barrel corrosion with rifles that were stored for a period of time with a sound mod left on , which of course can be quite costly.

Looking good Express , how many shots for the 100 yard group ? My HTR is all ordered and will hopefully be in the UK next month , to say I'm excited is some what of an understatement.

Aficionado Glad to hear it , i'm seeing Mike a week Tuesday , and i have to say i also like his no nonsense approach to things .

Just like that . [ 04-25-2004: Message edited by: Els ]

Brown Dog I fully understand what you are saying. However on this small island anyone in the rifle trade that says he was a Marine sniper had better be , otherwise he's going to run out of customers pretty **** quick . But i shall ask a few questions about him to various people and all ready...

Well i have just ordered my H-S precision from the Riflestore , i have to say that Mike Norris cannot do enough to help you , if only all British business's were like it.

--------------------------------------------- anyway.. make your own minds up, if you are happy with the price.. ok.. but a decent service counts for a lot and i would rather pay a little more and have good service.. i will certainly never buy from the sportsmans gun center again, once bitten...

Import duties alone would be £245 at 17.5% VAT and 4% import duty. As for the shipping i can only imagine a 11lbs rifle will cost at least £200 , i have just sent a Night force scope back to the US weighing 2lbs with a cost of £55 . They also need to be proofed at £..? , so i'm not sure the...

I phoned the Riflestore the other day and spoke to Mike Norris , an extremely knowledgeable chap , and so he should be , he used to be a Royal Marine sniper ! he gave me an hour of his time on the phone , and not many do that these days. Anyway I'm off up to look at the H-S precisions as soon as...

Hi Brown Dog I know what you mean about the price hike , but that's the price you pay for living in good old blighty , or more aptly put 'rip off Britain' I cant really say what has put me off the RPA , if anything has at all , they are said to be the most accurate out of the box rifle bar-none...

The civilian version of the AI would be the cheapest option at a little over £1500 - $3000 , the H-S Precision , RPA and Sako are all pretty much the same price .

Jay Kyle The Accuracy international is indeed a fine rifle , unfortunately it's to heavy for the kind of work i will have to do , 15lbs with scope . I must admit i was considering the Sako TRG 22 or a RPA interceptor both of which are fairly light , the H-S precision though is the lightest out...

Thanks Express ,a very kind offer indeed. It's my guess that in about 10 weeks time i'll be the proud owner of the H-S Precision Heavy Tactical .308 .

In the UK it costs £1800 , i think converted thats roughly $3500 . So lets say $500 went on shipping and paper work and another $500 went on the retailers profit, that leaves $2400 and H-S Precision list them at $2100 in standard form , sounds about right.

Oh crap , i just found a small review of the H-S Precision in the review Equipment forum . Sorry i'll look that bit harder next time , but if anyone wants to add to this i'd be more than happy.
