    If you use some duct tape to hold a torch on you'll have night vision.

    Better to have KY in my mouth than have that rifle.

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    did you manage to build in 20moa for the longer shots? I 'm sure you would have worked it out OK with your tape measure.

    If you find you max out on elevation before 1000yrds turn your ammo 45 degrees anti clockwise before chambering ...................your spin drift then becomes elevation and you won't have to dial as far
    A big fast bullet beats a little fast bullet every time

    I was going to suggest welding a teaspoon in front of the barrel to kick the bullet up just as it left the muzzle but you idea is so much better.

    Yeah I built in about 40 moa cant as after seeing the lads shoot 1800 yards at the Toby shoot I'm keen to do that eh.

    Didn't use a tape measure tho, I got fancy and used my old protractor from my high school tech drawing class.

    That might be stretching the old 303 tho, so after seeing kiwigreg post that 26 Nosler brass I'm now keen to ream the old military barrel out to suit 303/26 Nosler, then I'll look at brazing two 150 bullets together base to base to make a double pointy ended 300g 303 long range bullet.

    Thanks for all the other excellent suggestions, this forum really is a wealth of information.

    No problem. If you want help with welding the car headlight to the barrel we are good at that too. Not to mention a fence post tripod and coke can suppressor and you will be No 8 tacti-cool. Also don't forget the BBQ paint crap-coat paint job.
