Have owned by Turbo V2 since 2019 , purchased from the late John Giles, what a terrific guy & fantastic Gunsmith.
However on the weekend whilst shooting a Benchrest Match the bolt on my turbo would not cock on a loaded .22LR round.
Remove the round & the bolt would function & rifle would cock but very stiff bolt action.
Thought it may have been some grease/dirt had got into the bolt & took it home & soaked in kero for couple of hours but no improvement.

I would like to suggest that visitors to Canberra give a big miss to Rydges at Eagle Hawk.
Location is close to the range, but the rooms are very expensive, beds are uncomfortable, and the food is lousy.
Also, mobile phone coverage is lousy, and internet in the room is $22 per day!
Go with the pub next door.
Rob.

Hi all. I am interested in other peoples experiences and thoughts on 22LR match grade barrel wear and live expectancy before any down side appears on accuracy.
I often hear people say "when I first got it it was so go". Referring to ether a new barrel or complete rifle.
Originally I bought a Anschutz 1913 and for club or even state title shooting I thought it was a good package. After about two years I was struggling, shooting well but just off the pace a little. Not blaming the gun I looked everywhere else and it never came back. My cleaning was not so often (between ..read more
