'Britactical' Rifle Places Third in Euro Match

6.5x47 Lapua tacticalOur most recent Gun of the Week was a 6.5×47 Lapua Tactical Rifle built with a Surgeon Action, Krieger Barrel, and McMillan stock. Built for Rob Hunter to use in a European Military and Sniper Competition in the Czech Republic, this rifle proved it’s mettle in its first-ever competition. Vince Bottomley, who smithed the rifle, reports: “Just to let you know… with his ‘Britactical’ rifle, Rob finished a magnificent third in Czechoslovalia–out of thirty-odd shooters. Not bad for a brand new rifle and cartridge.” Well, done, Robert! We are pleased to see how a gun evolves successfully through concept, building, and finally, performance in the field. This shows that, if you endow a rifle with the best components, such as the U.S. Optics 5-25×58 SN3 scope shown here, good things can happen.

Shooting Chrony F1 Master Chronograph on Sale–Just $79.99

Now through November 30, 2007, MidwayUSA has the F1 Master Chronograph (Item #688064) on sale for just $79.99. That’s $24.00 off the regular price. This unit includes the remote screen. All components (other than diffuser screens and screen supports), fold up into the hinged case for easy transport. NOTE: the F1 Master has a remote display, but this is NOT a full-featured remote control. You won’t be able to edit strings or switch between functions from the bench (only the more expensive models of Shooting Chronys allow that.) Just bring a pencil and pad to record your shots.

Is this worth buying? We’ll be honest, Shooting Chronys can be finicky in very strong sunlight and when the light comes from a harsh angle. They usually work best with hazy mid-morning light. Function-wise, this is a pretty “bare bones” unit. However, the Shooting Chrony design is very compact and easy to set-up. We keep an older Shooting Chrony in the car at all times as a “spare”. It can be put “into action” in under 5 minutes (using an inexpensive tripod with quick-release mount). At a cost of $79.99 you can almost afford to have a Shooting Chrony F1 Master as a “back-up” device–and one to use with hand-guns. If, heaven forbid, you hit the device, it’s nice to know it didn’t cost much.
