Welcome to Precision Rifle Magazine
Congratulations! You've found your way to the UK's first on-line shooting magazine for the precision rifle enthusiast.
PRECISION RIFLE is the UK's premier webzine covering all aspects of accurate rifles. All shooting disciplines that demand extreme accuracy are featured, together with the latest kit, including reviews of rifles, scopes and other equipment. Your comments are welcome as are contributions and hopefully, your rifles and equipment will appear on this site. (See Rifle of the Month).
The site is updated regularly (see 'What's New on P - R') so that there will always be something new to look at each week, so bookmark this page and keep coming back.
To cover hosting costs, we welcome relevant advertising. If you are interested in an advertisement please e-mail webmaster@precisionrifle.co.uk For the first twelve months, charges will be very reasonable.
Finally, thanks to all those who have posted messages of support in the Guest Book. I am humbled.

PS - It was great to meet all you guys from around the world who visit this site and stopped by to say 'hello' at the World Benchrest Championships in Austria.

TARGET SPORTS MAGAZINE
TTHE MARCH 2009 EDITION OF TARGET SPORTS WAS BE THE LAST ISSUE. THE MAGAZINE IS CLOSING DOWN. FOR THE FIRST TIME IN AS LONG AS I CAN REMEMBER WE, THE BRITISH RIFLEMEN, WILL NOT HAVE AN INDEPENDENT MAGAZINE REPRESENTING OUR SPORT - MATCH REPORTS, RESULTS, EQUIPMENT REVIEWS ETC. FOR F CLASS, BENCHREST, RIMFIRE, AIR-RIFLE, TARGET RIFLE ETC. WILL NOT HAVE A VOICE.
I CANNOT SEE ANYONE STARTING A NEW MAGAZINE IN TODAY'S CLIMATE, SO INDIVIDUAL WEBSITES LIKE THIS ONE, www.fclass.org.uk, www.ukbra.co.uk, www.benchrest22.org WILL DO THEIR BEST TO KEEP US INFORMED BUT WE SERIOUSLY NEED A PROPER SITE WHICH CAN SUPPORT ITSELF BY CARRYING ADVERTISING AND THUS REMAIN FREE TO THE READER.
STOP PRESS! STAND BY FOR THE LAUNCH OF THE FIRST UK ON-LINE SHOOTING MAGAZINE! THE MAGAZINE WILL BE CALLED TARGET SHOOTER - MORE DETAILS SOON

Tip of the Month
Cleaning Scope Lenses
Opitcal glass - and in particular, the anti-flare lens coatings - are relatively soft and easily damaged. So how do we clean them?
Most camera shops will sell you a special cleaning cloth and cleaning fluid - which is all very well but how do we clean out on range or in the field if we don't have these cloths and fluids?
It's tempting to use any bit of cloth we have to hand and this is when damage can occur. Try this:
Roll up an ordinary tissue tightly, until it looks like a cigarette. Then tear it in half and carefully clean your lens with the torn ends. Breath on the lens if you need to.
