Re: NRA hire rifles
I do understand your frustration at not getting kit that is ready to use. I think that lack of investment means that sometimes with scopes they may have to rob Peter to pay Paul.

Re: NRA hire rifles
Hi all
My experience
My first NRA shot was at 500 yards on a Sat
I requested a scope gun since I needed that on my SCC for the FAC
Summary of events
1.gun 1 Scope not working -no movable turrets
2. Gun 2 setup for 300 not enough elevation for 500
3. Gun 3 scope totally clouded
4. Gun 4 scope front section bent
5 gun 5 did not work - cant remember reason
Let's say Fawlty Towers came to mind :shock:
RCO great tried to make it work
I resorted to Using a TR RIFLE and some friendly blokes let me finish my second box of ammo in a rifle scoped they had

Re: NRA hire rifles
My approach would be
Select 30 best rifles
1. Clean barrels properly
2. Buy / get supplier to sponsor basic 4 - 10 scopes
3. Decent scope mounts
4. Write zero on card attached to butt
A new member exposed a brand in positive fashion will likely buy that brand :cheers:

Re: NRA hire rifles
The idea of sponsorship for the rifles must be worth looking at, people like Garlands import a fair few rifles every year so what price 'loaning' 4 to the NRA, I am sure it would be good marketing.

Re: NRA hire rifles
The NRASC has purchased 2 new Sightron scopes for it's scoped rifles and they are staying on them - full stop, no argument. We are in the process of getting all the relevant elevations and noting these on the gun itself - books have a tendancy to vanish!!
First step in the long haul but we are getting there.
