That's a fairly new manufacture pistol and it's slotted to take the Inglis type shouldering stock?


Yep....

45 yrs old

Did the serial search.

Built 1974

74C02XXX

Was it slotted from the factory, or done later? Does the serial search tell that info ?
Sorry for the ignoramus questions... I didn't realize that the BHP was still being manufactured with the slots so far after WW2. I went through four BHP purchases before finding the first slotted.

Went out for a quick shoot, not trying hard but also not out to waste ammo. 550 yards, 30 out of 30. The purple marks previous hits.

Thanks, not bad for plicking lol.
Be cool to do a long range shoot with other members, especially the ones that have more insight on long range shooting.

I went and shot some more groups of test loads today. Beautiful day at MRC! I'm really beginning to like this N140.

I hear you may have some load data for the N140? That stuff is really working well for my 77gr 223 and my 175gr 308. I wish I had data for the 90gr 224 Valkyrie with the VV N140.

Not me . . . I can't afford those gourmet powders. :ROFLMAO:

All my "good" .308 loads have used Varget and H4895.
