  1. As an aside, can anyone tell me what the difference is between an M590 and an M595 action, apart from the size of the ejection port, please? Pete
  2. Paraffin + ultrasonic for cleaning actions...in a 500ml measuring cylinder. Pete
  3. They are very good triggers, if you can find one...my two don't have the safety. https://bulletin.accurateshooter.com/2008/02/14/ Pete
  4. FWIW, the Jackson Rifles version of the CG Universal for the Tikka T3 fits my M595's without any modification, and works fine. Pete
  5. I'm not really up on current black rifles, but given their popularity among some shooters, it does seem to me to be a tad "too good to be true" at £800 squid.........remember the old Latin proverb "Caveat emptor..." Pete ps: I did own a Blaser LRS for a while.......
  6. Only use the thumb to de-cock it.......I have a c-spanner carefully ground to cock it. Pete
  7. Give this a go? https://thisoldrifle.com/shooting/mauserboltdisassembly/index.asp Pete
  8. I could never understand why so many shooters supported brexit..............it's made importing anything from Europe, a total pain in the arse... As for "taking back control", that worked out well, didn't it? Pete
  9. And a fatburg in your aorta........ Pete
  10. Full English at Lord R will put hair on your chest......... Pete
  11. We've used the cheapo 8" type from Aliexpress with a 223 at 200 yds, with 73, 75, and 80 grain bullets, and they're fairly easy to see through an 8-32 scope if there's no mirage.. I plan to try them at 300 when it stops raining, but I think 600 would be pushing it. Might be OK with a larger calibre and a big birding scope, 80x? Pete
  12. It's a bit difficult to see the exact dimensions. I was wondering if it was supplied by RPA with the Quadlock.......I have a CG-RPA 2000, which has the Anschutz type 11mm dovetail on top of the reciever, and 4 holes for a rail, and I'd need to know the exact hole centres. Pete
  13. And as I load for myself and 'er indoors, I was relieved, rather than surprised, to discover that she can still use my reloads.....there are most likely quite a few in our position. (I don't charge her anything...) Pete
  14. I've heard tales of competition shooters beating their bolts open, and throwing the case away after taking each shot..... We had the NRA guys visit us on Stix with a Labradar a few years ago, the plan being to spot check MV's in an attempt to address this problem, but for some reason, it never took off. Pete
  15. I've had good results with 105 grain bullets and RS62 in 6x47...MV's around 2950fps. Pete
  16. I'd have thought that rifle was designed primarily for high stopping power at shorter ranges than 1000yds. Pete
  17. Probably made the mistake of taking a sniff at one some time....... Pete
  18. We have a set in a wooded area at the back of our place, and we've not seen a hedgehog in the garden before this little guy turned up a week ago. We've been feeding a one eyed feral cat for a while, and I put out a trailcam to see how he was doing. These are snaps from the videos. The cat is in a bad way, covered in fleas and ticks, and we're hoping to trap him and get him sorted. He was very nervous and backed away from the little hog. Pete
  19. It's small rifle primers that are in short supply, apparently......... Pete
  20. I find the gas fired job sold by "raptor calls" works very well, and appears to give consistent tension, judged subjectively by feeling the resistance when seating bullets. Annealing also prolongs case life........I bought mine after suffering a spate of split necks. Not had a problem since, and I'm getting 20+ firings from Lapua brass. And I was told by a successful competitive shooter 9 or 10 years ago that consistent neck tension has more effect on group size than weighing powder to a tenth of a grain...... Pete
