So, oomans, if we wanted to pop off Farmer Giles at 1000+ mards, what would you recommend ? We think TRG and AI are pretty good, but do you know better ?

Expand, ooman: justify your assertion. Facts and figures, opinions even. The beans. Spill them...

Mik does build a mean .338LM that is going to be super accurate out of the box. Personally I would go for a TRG41 or TRG42 based on the service in the field. They are not going to be as accurate as Mik's builds however they just seem like the right thing. Fair to say I am biased towards military rifles in situations like this.
I had a proper play with a service issue TRG42 a couple of years ago, it was scruffy, battered, taped up and rattled. The 5-25 PMII on it looked like it had been thrown out of a Herc and the bipod flopped around. As the rifle had just come back from its fourth tour of Afghanistan it was forgiven.
The most memorable rifle I have ever shot.

To be fair all are fine guns.
I have a Dolphin assembled Barnard & if you can get your pelt up to Diggle you are welcome to put 22 rounds through it.
:cheers:
