  1. Some cracking engineering going off here.
  2. One thing that I know was an issue over space for a range was noise. of there are settlements close by you will struggle.
  3. If you want to sell one let me know. I know you imported a couple. 😎
  4. No, it’s standard raw anodised.
  5. I have a spare one you can have. Still in wrapper.
  6. I can only think it’s because of the shoulder on the barrel taper interfering with the mechanical lock that should be forming on the adapter. I have Q barrel’s in 6.5 Creedmoor and .308 with taper and an Oceania defence flash hider/mod adapter. Not a semi auto, but plenty of rounds and it’s solid.
  7. I thought Sig used tapers on their barrel threads?
  8. You have some serious fun Lee!!!
  9. At least you bit 😘 if I had eberlestock with a frame that would be my choice. I have a G4 phantom or AIM. I am totally undecided. Not that either will help me decipher the ever encrypted messages. It is sounding like far more hard work than it needs to be. Helen, remember it needs to be fuN and not just about being belligerent to the past, feedback from the last SIS, it was too hard. The sounds of copper coated lead on steel makes people smile. No matter what the top shooters will out shine the rest of the field. If not there can be a shoot off. Hitting the target and thinking you are comIng Close to winning has the same mental affect as gambling. All you have to do is be in it to win It, keep attendimg and you might just win
  10. A big 12”x12”x8” bag filled with foam beads. They only work if you practice. Not used to Cary anything.
  11. For ultimate stability avoid a tripod with a centre column. Also something I have recently taken from an advanced user of tripods, Phil Velayo, he doesn’t use a clamp unless absolutely necessary. It changes POI, use a bag on top of the tripod. This is a lightweight model that gets good reviews in the usa https://www.amazon.co.uk/Carbon-Tripod-Professional-Birdwatching-Camera/dp/B07HH4BYNK/ref=asc_df_B07HH4BYNK/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=500997477512&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=13371465302673270660&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9046376&hvtargid=pla-829280341632&psc=1 This one is heavier and more stable. It used to be £200. Which I regret not buying at that price myself.
  12. Bradley Arms is the Holy Grail of AR22’s The originals come up every now and again, although I haven’t seen any advertised I am pretty sure Mark set up a chap to continue the business and produce AR’s in his guise. @brown doghas an amazingly accurate Bradley AR22 I would like a .22lr version of the Q Honey Badger to compliment my Fix. You have pipped my interest again. Although my next purchase will be a Tikka T1X to put in a Sako TRG stock I have hanging about.
  13. How do you get the muzzle brake part level? sounds like it self times. 6 seconds is nothing. how does is shoot???
  14. Does it have to be timed by a gunsmith?
  15. Given the Op’s situation, what about a device that alerts him to the loss of power so that action can be taken to put it back on easily enough.
  16. I have read through all the replies thanks gents. I hadn’t considered the different types of site. I forgot I used an Eotech holographic site at work a few years ago before I needed glasses. I don’t remember suffering the blooming, it wasn’t a single dot reticle and I could hold tight groups when we shot on the 200 yard range. After taking advice from @ds1 I have had some time practicing focusing on target. Also keeping the brightness right down helps. the light bleed is constant in the same point in the dot. It would be nice to see the same reticle I see through my phone 😂 I’ll see how I get on at the range and then look at a holographic alternative. I just want something smaller than Eotech.
  17. Astigmatism isn’t something I had ever considered as an issue other than I have to pay extra for my contact lenses. I recently purchased a holosun red dot optic from a member here on ukvarminting. Cracking guy and I’ll buy from him again. So nothing to do with him. all the visuals of the “dot” online are a perfect circle. The image I see is a star burst, with broken light everywhere. Not the circle I hoped for It reminded me of the illuminated dot on the Zeiss V8 scopes I have had. I thought it was just an issue with the illumination. I bought three of them and thought that’s how it is. hated it and sold them on as considerable loss. Google is my friend as I knew the red dot wasn’t at fault. This is where I discovered my issue. I’m sure there will be many in my shoes who have astigmatism. single centre dots are not good for us. you will think the illumination is crap. So who is selling a Schmidt Polar L7 reticle lol
  18. Even when you forgot your boots. “Crocs rule” shame you won’t join us now days…. If only to show some decorum in such tremulous times.
  19. It’s really good to know the rim thickness is so consistent now days.
  20. Do you still measure “rim” thickness?
  21. Factory certainly is a gamble. If I bought a 20” that didn’t shoot it could be shortened.
