Thanks for all your responses gents, the front appears to be an M6 bolt and the rear is much smaller. It does seem a bit ridiculous, I have gone back to them to confirm (unfortunately having to use Google Translate to communicate) Thanks, will let you know the response. G

Hi All, I contacted Sabatti support directly to get information on Torque settings for tightening down an STR action in to its Chassis System. They quoted 15 Nm (Front) and 14 Nm(Rear) which converts to 132 in lbs and 123 in lbs respectively. Anybody have any thoughts on the above? They sound a bit high and I would like to sanity check before (potentially) stripping a thread........ 😱 ATB and thanks in advance. G 🙂

Thanks Kipper, how did you find the stock in general and what action did you fit?

Hi All, I'm looking to change the stock on my PH 1200tx without spending a small fortune. I had enquired with ProMag on their Archangel offering https://promagindustries.com/archangel-precision-stock-for-mauser-k-98-and-variants-black-polymer-includes-aa8mm-01-10-rd-with-a-5-rd-limiter-type-b-magazine/ which would also give me a magazine option as well. I enquired with ProMag on whether it would be suitable (PH based on a Large Ring Mauser Action) and got the following response "Sorry this will not interchange as this is set up for long actions in 7mm/8mm & 30-06 only. The Parker also has an extra safety that causes a fir issues as well........sorry sir" which I thought was a bit off as I had believed it would fit based on it being a Mauser action and I dont mind (expect) having to fettle the stock for the Safety. Has anyone else fitted or seen a PH1200 to an Archangel before? Any other ideas on what options I have without spending a small fortunate? Thanks in advance. Grant

Hi Akeld, I'm on the journey doing load development at the moment for target shooting so can't report performance per se, however, I can say they are very consistent and from a service perspective Pete is really excellent to deal with (cant rate him high enough). Check his site for game bullets. http://www.mmeriflebullets.co.uk/ HTH G🙂

Thanks Scrummy, that's really helpful / usefull info 👍 ATB G

Hi Scrumbag, I bought the XS set which allows the scope to be quickly removed from the rail and to also be able to use the ghost ring sight when removed. Cheers G

Hi All, I meant to ask if anyone else has seen separation of the lanolin and alcohol if its been left standing for a long while unused? All the best G

Hi Catch, It does leave a residue on it, I usually give then a wash in hot soapy water afterwards and then give them a good rub on a dry towel. I've also used break cleaner and a towel before. I only do batches of 50 so it's not too much of a chore. Cheers G

Thanks all, Im planning on a week in the Peak district in the next few weeks and suspect I may identify places to visit that may just so happen to have some shops that stock scopes along the way..... 😉 Shhhhh....mums the word...... 😆 ATB G

Thanks Richie, will investigate further. Cheers G

Hi All, I have a Winchester 94 AE with an XS Rail which looks similar to this IMAGE HERE and currently looking for a scope with long eye relief for use on Gallery Rifle circa 25 metre ( .357 magnum). Does anyone have any experience with Long Eye Relief scopes and recommend any scopes suitable for my application? I'm only looking to use for internal club comps and assist my peepers when target shooting (not sure what to budget for yet either). Thanks in advance. 🙂 G
