Ammo boxes and shooting mats

NUTTA1

Hi all !

Firstly sorry i aint been around for awhile but i moved and changed job so no interweb until now!!! country living now!

I was after some advice on places to source ammo boxes, i am after the ones that the F Class lads seem to use they hold 50 or 100 rounds of 6.5X55/.308 ammo that sort of thing ! i have found a couple but the prices are absolutly mad, they are after all ! just a plastic box with dividers.:mad:

Also

Shooting mats for target shooting, is there a popular make and type aimed at the F Class shooter and where would i find them? is it best to shop online or does any one know any where with this gear around Limerick/Clare/Tipp.

Please find attachments of pics of sort of thing im after . Thanks

It wasn't me!

Here's a mat for you, for not terrible money.

And here's a source for the boxes. Must say, I'd been meaning to look for those myself, cheers for making me get off my ass and do it.

Those are MTM Case-gard cases Nutta, lots of places in the UK stock them and they have a factory store online as well. You couldn't call them expensive; the dearest, top-of-the-line 100-round box for .308s and the like, costs less than $14.

edit:bleh, beaten to it mid-post...

Give these guys a shout they are very good to deal with. I had found an irish company yesterday that was selling them but for hell or high water i cant find them now. Will post later if I can find it.

Got a link or proof of this alleged meeting?

No mate no proof, a mate heard it from a fella at work who heard it from a garda !!!

Like I said poss just idel sh!t talk mate I am sure little old me would be the last to know, its just I am looking into getting a new rifle soon and was wondering if I needed to speed it up or forget about it!!!

It wasn't me!

Haven't heard anything of that sort myself, and would not be remotely amused to hear it. Pistols are in dispute alright, but I can't see rifles coming under any real threat. They just don't have the same negative publicity pistols do, even if it is undeserved.
