The Canadian Army Cadets use (or maybe used?) the RPA Quadlock action as the C12A1 in the Fullbore 2 course and the National Rifle Team. Unfortunately the Quadlock was banned by name in Canada during the 2020 OiC because there is a .50BMG chambering offered. Ostensibly the smaller calibers aren't banned but the OiC makes no distinction between calibers.
One of my best friends used to run the Swiss shooting club here in Montreal, but it’s basically dead, especially now that he passed away recently, so there’s no one to run it local.y. The group from Ontario came to take away all the stuff……though if anyone reloads, there are boxes and boxes of high quality 308 projectiles and brass.
I always enjoy your work. We are two peas in a pod. Are you familiar with the Kimber 82 Government? Single shot, 22LR made under US government contract in the 80s. Only 20,000 made. I own two, one with aperture sights and the other is scoped. Excellent factory trigger and extremely accurate. A video featuring this rifle would be great. Keep up the fine work. Thank you.
They have ELR "extreme long range" and ULR "Ultra long range" target shooting now. Depending on caliber, (bigger calibers go farther out) I believe ULR starts at 2700 yards. So anything under 2700 yards is only ELR (I think with 40 caliber or bigger).
Good video as usual. I see what appears to be a Darne shotgun on your wall. Have you done any videos on the Darne? Keep up the good work. Love your videos.
What a beatiful wood on that Mohsin rifle, really impressive. About Keppler, I like that sniper rifle with side magazine. What I would like to know and I'm ever interested in is if the locking lugs locks on the barrel or on the action. I would love that you point this characterist in all the rifles you show us.
Thank you for your message. I like the side mag. as well - although I've had no success getting the rifle so far. I'll check the locking to see if it is barrel or action locking.
Few videos are better done than yours. I believe your views about the pursuit of highly precise target shooting are on point. I participated in, and enjoyed competitive pistol target shooting while first in the U.S. Navy (many years ago). Later, as a civilian in a demanding profession, I found that time requirements relegated this to informal shooting for personal pleasure, as seems to be what you have found. While I understand, and admire, those who pursue highly precise rifle target shooting, to some extent this becomes an exercise in physics and engineering that goes beyond the "practical" or actual requirements of the majority of circumstances. Thus I am content to applaud their pursuits while following my own endeavors to achieve precision and accuracy achievable with good quality mass-produced firearms. Thanks
Thank you for such kind words. They help me. We're on the same page. It really is something to fire 10 shots at 100 and find a hole little bigger than 1 bullet; to do so consistently is science, skill and consistency for sure. Like you, I admire the dedication and watch from the sidelines for now. All the best to you.
Awesome video. Used to dream in the 80's of having a Wichita and actually saved for an original Nesika but young families become priority. Ended up with Mauser actions, a Mexican 6BR and MarkX 6Rem. Both more accurate than I will ever be. Funny anybody saying 6ppc is "Old fashion" Needs to look at 6ARC and other "New" rounds. Basically the same thing, different name.
Keep making your videos the way that you wish, about the firearms you wish ----- don't bother trying to please the "spray & pray" boyz on the internet! Was not familiar with 3 of the ones shown this episode but have read/seen heard of the "Wichita" action / rifle some years ago in one of the firearms periodicals. I could not figure it out. Thought maybe it was bottom eject mechanism as the old Ithaca model 37 slide action shotgun was, but nope. 🙃 That would have to be an untimed shooting match with that Wichita action rifle. Seems that the bolt-handle is the "locking lug" for the rifle.
