e-mail me @ rgpsltd@yahoo.com for  pictures as the pic's are too big to upload, and  i do not  know how to crop them..

Hi A,

       thanks  for that, never thought to look at the  photograph, it was obvious when I had it  in my  hands  it was some sort of protective coating but in the  photo it  doesn't  look good..

As has  already been said, rifle  is producing good results, had it  in my hands  yesterday...

Clymer 6.5-06 A Square finish reamer used twice.Comes with -06 go gauge.

£45.00

Just a quick update,

 Had a quick flurry of e-mails from Kaps customer service, was like trying to stuff string up a cats a**e. Never Have I met anyone  in customer service who had absolutely no clue about  their products, very frustrating..

Contacted the retailer of the Scope with this sorry tale, only to be told that that  was  the  norm,they have  now stopped sellling  any product associated with Kaps. The manager told they had  sent over 80% of the  scopes  back with similar faults and were  met  with the same responses.

He also told  me  on one  particular model 41  out  of  45 scopes had  to be sent back, and we are not  talking about £50 scopes..

280 ackley dies for sale £25.00 + p&p

Ruger No1 action only for sale.

Cerakoted tungsten grey.

Dipped stock Kryptek pattern

This was my long range beauty in 6.5-06 ackley, sadly after nearly 2000 rounds it needs a  new barrel.I do however have the  original Ruger 243 barrell which fits straight on.

I also have a  Magnum extractor for  it..

£350.. 

Sold Subject to payment...

MG,

       do the  extractor  plungers fully depress? The  images look as if the  plungers are binding on the head.

It is obvious that rifle scopes are not the mainstay of their  business..

Hi A,

          wouldn't mind but I have  another one that is the  56mm obj and its  great, but this  is just junk.

I think that Heath Robinson was the design engineer on this  one .

Left it on the  wall outside  hoping someone would pinch it but ended up with a  collection box and some  sympathy cards.. 

Can't  sell it  now,shot myself in the  foot there, but not with that scope..😈

Below is part of an e-mail after trying to point out the  markings on the  windage turret..

Good afternoon Neil,

the engraving has nothing to do with the clicks. The clicks are only for the first calibrating.

It is made for Snipers, that they can see maybe they have to choose the marked 12 on 200m distance, if the have 1m wind/second, coming froum south, west, or whatever.

So if you want us to do a special engraving, where is a „10“ marked after 10 clicks, please advise.

Best Regards,

Thank god for that I thought I was going nuts trying to work out  the  graduations, just couldn't believe what i was looking at.

To make  it even worse there  are 21 clicks between 0-12, c'mon Popsbengo get the calculator out..

count the  graduations between 0-12, and tell me what they are..

In January this  year I bought a new Karl Kaps scope (https://www.optics-trade.eu/uk/kaps-tactical-2-5-10x50-sniper.html), I would just like to say I did not buy it  from Optics Trade just using it as reference,not a  cheap scope  by any means, but certainly not  the  most expensive.

In April the  scope  developed a fault, the  windage turret clicks  had failed, consequently when you retrieved the scope  out  of the  bag the  turret would rotate if it caught the  side of the  bag  or  even rubbed against it when you where  carrying it, so obviously  needing urgent  attention.

So I contacted Kaps Customer service, who did not return any e-mails until I announced that their  Customer  service  sucks!

They suggested that I return the  scope to them Direct.

As we tried to ascertain what had  gone  wrong with the  scope  I pointed out  a few  other  problems, the  turrets were  marked  6mm clicks@ 100m, they were in fact 1cm clicks@ 100m, they accepted that the  turrets had been marked up wrong, the other  problem is in the  windage turret, I will post a  picture and  see if you  can see what the  problem is!

Scope  returned last week and guess what nothing had  been done to it in 5 months. I have tried to contact them again and they have told  me there  is  nothing wrong with the scope and  now refuse to discuss it  any further. As you  can see the scope still has  the  6mm clicks and the windage turret still turns  freely.

So if  you are thinking of  buying a Karl kaps scope think again..

sussed out the windage turret yet..

hi Terry,

           it  is absolutely mustard, really pleased with the  performance,the  123sst is deadly @ 3350 fps out  of a 25" barrel.

Made it from either 25-06  or  necked down and trim 270 brass, but  have just acquired 100 new brass cases from the  US headstamped 6.5-06 from quality brass, flash holes are  bit  rough, just necked turn them this  morning and they are quite concentric.

The mainstay of brass for me was RWS/Norma 270 brass, good quality and reasonably concentric on the  neck..I did however resort to neck turning and  it improved the grouping and  consistency  greatly,also the  ES, came down from an avg of 25fps to 7fps.

Garbage in garbage out as the saying goes! However I fail to see when you  measure  from the  ogive when setting the oal  and  not the  base,how much does a 12 thou  variance make, I could understand  if shooting f class, but then if shooting targets that would not  be the choice.

12 thou vs the  oal of the bullet is  probably about  1% , I would  be more concerned if the weight was as erratic,in a  v.max I doubt that makes any difference  whatsoever. What ranges are shooting over?

As has  been mentioned how do they shoot,I have always found  v.max to be as accurate as I need them to be and  probably more  accurate than I will ever be..

If I am looking for  bugholes then that would not  be  my choice of  bullet...

This any good to you?

just screws into the  existing stud hole, still gives a sling mount and then  a single  picatinny mount.

If its any good  I can post it  to you FOC.

Been a great fan of the  264wm for  long time, but  decided to trade down to a  6.5-06AI because of the  abundance of brass.

The reality was it was not  a trade down but a trade off in the  consumption of  powder, velocity is right up there with the  winnie and  accuracy is stunning. I can launch a 123gn sst @ 3350fps and it is sub 1/2 moa @ 500yds. enough for  anything I may encounter.

Unfortunately have to convert to copper,will have to see what limitations that brings, got some 120 gmx's will be trying them out  this weekend..

Looking forward to an outing with a good friend  of mine  who has  just had a rifle built by Ronin in 6.5-06,my custom 6.5-06  head stamped brass arrived this morning so will handing a few  over to him  for testing.. I do not  think it will be long before  this caliber becomes  standardized..
