Slightly off-topic... what is your Lilja like for cleaning? My Broughton took < 10 patches total, even after the open day abuse - very happy.
No Tom, it needs more than that but I use C2R so just let it do it's job, but it is just under 2000rds
It does go like hell though
I can get similar velocities without trying too hard to some folk who are crunching it in heavily.
Gary C wanted a lanyard on the skills weekend....no pressure signs but we think the copper may have been stripping...oops.
I have toned things back though to stay under HME, it shoots sweeter that way as well...there's a thing.
Its your choice mate.
I am sold on my Dolphin modular. I have found that it is sensitive to having my noggin stuck on the cheekpiece but that's me.
The thing keeps on giving, I just need to do the right things my end.
If anything mine is maybe a tad light, but treated well it comes back onto target as it should.
The rifle was carving a nice little set of rails with the Stotterben yesterday, I just had to keep winding it up a tad as the thing sunk slowly!!!
I will have another Lilja next time round for sure.
Another thing about the Dolphin is it is fantastic value for money and you don't wait a season for your rifle....even if the gun plummer wot makes em is a hamfisted recce mech...... :55:
Oh s***...he's on here aint he
