    You must really have little to do in work ;).
    Anyway, you've wasted your time. My article 7 arrived yesterday and my new P44 has been popped into the post to me today :D. Gotta love the Germans.

    I got a Vault built into the plans in the basement of my New House 2.8mtrs x 4.8mtrs:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D just gotta hope planning is approved:( I'm kinda hoping that i can set up a reload bench in there too.

    And just to explain how i am allowed to have a dedicated Gun room. I am currently single:(

    great thinking there hezz, wish i had the foresight to have done that 20 years ago..make sure you run in phone cables and tv cables too ,cos theres lots of times when your reloading, doing the fiddly stuff you can be staring at the box as well..;)

    In my day dreams

    A pistol grip stock for my benelli + 9 shot extended tube + rifled slug barrel
    A Richards micro fit silhouette stock for my 17hmr in black and grey laminate
    A custom built .308 with mc millan tactical stock, Remington action, lija barrel fluted and a good old zeiss scope to top the whole lot off with an atech moderator,theres probably a whole lot more to go into this but i havent researched it yet honest:o
    An electric clay pegion thrower so i dont have to ring around to get someone to go every time i want to go out
    A full larder with suitable freezer for the butchering of game
    A good pre charged rifle to go poping squirles and mags around farmyards and the like

    Single and building a house with a gun vault in the basement with reloading bench.

    You know I hear they've just legalised same sex marriage in California ;)

    I'm not too sure how to take that Veg, But just in case your asking....I don't think your my type:p:D:D:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 652 ✭✭✭Hezz700


    On a serious note, the reason i will am building this vault and the fairly major security measures is that i will be living alone (for awhile at least) and my work keeps me away alot. I don't want to arrive home some day and find my safes ripped off the wall and all my licenses in jeopardy.

    Anyone heard of Tactical Operations (Tac-Ops) rifles based in Beverly Hills.

    They make some serious rifles with a 0.25 MOA guarantee. I really really want one but the lead time is about a year and they cost 4k

    Anyone want to give me an interest free, extended repayment option, loan. :p

    Edit: I also want a decent front rest and rear sand bag for zeroing the rifle and target shooting. Was at range yesterday, and couldn't get a stable platform to shoot off, was driving me nuts.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,034 ✭✭✭✭It wasn't me!


    Guaranteeing .25 MOA?! :eek: That's insane. And presumably you could improve on that with handloads or just preferred ammunition. Not that there's much you can possibly improve on that, but still!

    Its 0.25 MOA with a particular brand of ammo. some 168 grain match ammo, cant remember the brand exactly and cant access the site from work to check it. grrrrrrr Prob a good thing or I'd need a new keyboard due to drool damage.

    Currently I have a serious case of GAS, Gear Acquisition Syndrome.

    I've been successfully working hard on curing my GAS Syndrome all this year, the results are showing.

    So far gear purchased includes...
    Leica CRF 900 range finder,
    Jewell Trigger for my Remmy,
    Leupold VX-III 4.5-15x50 plus mounting tool,
    Two tripod shooting seats (one ordered by mistake :o ),
    Two trail cameras plus assorted rechargeable batteries, chargers and SD cards,
    Handheld Lightforce Striker,
    Two Harris Bipods,
    Peltor Sportacs (on the way - still),
    Samsung Digital Camera (on the way as well),
    Opticron Imagic BGA SE 8x42 bins,
    Various predator calls,
    Various other bits & bobs,
    Gunslips...

    The worst of it all is that there are still a couple of items left on the list, the good news though is it's now a very short shortlist :D

    That is an impressive list. John you're clearly the type of guy who appreciates a good case of GAS.
