Thread: Omark improvements

There is also a 90gr round, I did some casual reading last night and really the amount of effort spent on the 223 to make it work and get the results it does is astounding, the wind though is ugly. I am not sure that the USA ranges get such variable wind as us?

This was interesting and about the best piece I found,

Who all is shooting a .223 long range? - Page 2

The cheaper shooting is a big plus given how things seem to be going. Im quite tempted to try an AR15 at 600yds and less for the hell of it. Might cause a few heart attacks at Trentham though, "oh my god its a black thing that self ejects cases!!!!!" what the hell I like stirring complacent ppl.

@Cyclops, with a 308w, 30inch barrel, lapua match case, Fed 210M, HBC 155gr projectile and 45gr2208 is just enough supersonic to register every time at the E-target. So if you are clocking 1200~1250fps should be OK. I have some e-targets around here somewhere.....

@steven we've successfully shot e-targets at 900 yards, yet to do so at 1000 yards.

Manual targets at 1000 yards require alert markers as the 80g Amax don't hit hard or leave large holes.

Annual compo organised by NZ Ladies Rifle group/team. Followed by 1000 yds champs on the Sun. Good fun to shoot it, gives us a chance to practise longs for Nationals in Jan, and they organise lots of spot prizes. 2nd place yesterday got me a nice home made Xmas fruit cake

Mrs EBF know about this cake, or did you scoff it in the car on your way home ???

she was sitting next to me at prizegiving.

big table with lots of goodies, you got to go up in the order you finished and pick what was left, i told her right at the start, if nobody else gets the cake Im grabbing it

if they keep handing out baked goods as prizes I might start taking this shooting lark a lot more seriously, hehe....

I'd be wondering on her take of the lipstick.

Guess these SouthAfricans are more "liberal" then they let on.

Ivan, forgot what username you use on here, can you pls PM me.

old thread i know nice job you did there ive just bought a project omark myself what kind of bipod is that

Really loved your posts and pics on the omark build ebf. They are my favourite rifle of all. I will never forget the many days I spent in the 80's and 90's on ranges in lovely locations all over the country being taught to shoot by retired gentleman who were true rifleman (many having served as rifleman). Looking through a central sight and being taught how to clean (with sweets) "tune" and look after the trusty Omark is something I will always remember (along with getting a split eyebrow from the central eyepiece when the rubber cup fell off, and getting booted by the straight stock of the 44B).

What a fantastic rifle they are!
