[QUOTE="Brown Dog, post: 19924, member: 1622"] Bruce, I'm very pleased that you are having such success with your AW! Awesome rifles [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] . You may find the weight less bothersome if you get hold of a set of the AI biathlon straps. -As regards scopes...just say 'sod it' and get a 4-16 PM2 -problem solved! [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] Pete, Yup, correct, I could get from this keyboard to the centre of Imber in less than 10min (although MODplod may take a dim view of that since I'd be in my own car!) How did I end up with a 202? ....it's a long story that rather demonstrates the flatness of my learning curve...started with an SSG -so,so - changed to a Blaser R93 -myriad problems (an essay in itself)piece of rubbish (we agree again!); then changed to my 1st 202 (in 308). Beautiful and accurate rifle -although I wasn't comfy with it much beyond 200m. I scratched that itch [thinking: surely the Blaser wasn't that bad?] by getting another Blaser, this time the r93 jagdmatch..and relearnt that Blaser are...not very good. History repeated and I got myself the 202 Alaska in its place. More horsepower, but still not a genuine longrange prospect. Hence the AW. My plan was to use the Alaska for reds (Scotland) and keep the AW for down south. Trouble now is, this AW is just so easy-to-shoot accurate that it may end up doing everything! In terms of the result of all that longrange spending; it may amuse you both to know that, so far, the AW has taken 2 roe bucks. Both standing shots, one at 32m and one at 50m! [/QUOTE]
