Which ring mounts do you have? Just follow the manufacturer’s own specs.

Light conditions usually dull and overcast, eyesight not great. Which brings me to another question about shooting with specs. Are normal specs suitable?

I have an old Swarovski AT80 telescope with the 30x WA lens. I’m looking to get a zoom lens, for spotting shots on paper and wondering at say 60x, what distance would that enable 6mm bullet holes to be seen. Thanks

I feel a little barrel envy setting in.....I only have a 24 incher. I found an accurate load at 29.3 gr of N150, but I’m experiencing heavy bolt lift and also thought it was over pressure. If your experience is anything to go by, Geek, I too may be using too little Powder. Lapua brass CCI 450 105 Amax

I think 2850 is about as good as it gets. My previous one was running around that, with n140 and 105 Amax. I haven’tChrono’d my new one, but I’ve switched to n150, though I’m getting heavy bolt lift and will have to drop down a few tenths. if it ever stops raining I’ll chrono it and let you know. What powder are you using?

Sorry, just seen this, yes, mils version. NOW SOLD

All pms replied to. Stunning optics in a very compact package. Less than 12,5 inches long 650 grams Parallax down to 10 yards 28 mils/10O MOA of elevation More photos on request.

The Bushnell Tactical 34mm tube scopes are excellent value and compact. I’m having to sell off some stuff, but not my ERS 3.5-21

Sightron S3 6-24x50 sfp fine crosshair, centre dot reticle. Good condition, though used, boxed, papers etc. Love this scope, on my .22lr at the moment, but needs must. £450 posted Ono.

Photos of the lenses for the prospective buyer, they are spotless.

SOLD

No, this is the gen 1, NV was added on the gen 2 model.

Had big plans for this on a fancy rimfire with a Pard 007. March F 3-24x42 ffp with the FML TI illuminated reticle. In excellent, near new condition, except the previous owner used a small screwdriver on the zero stop, not bad and a replacement fitted would cost under £50 (quote from Gary) Boxed with papers, sunshade, lens caps, all still in wrapping £1200 inc postage pm me for more photos

Bushnell ERS tac 6-24x50. 30mm tube mildot ret sfp very good condition, boxed with sunshade and papers £425 inc posted NOW SOLD

Vortex AMG red dot sight, in excellent, like new condition. I found this better than my Eotech, but job insecurity forces sale along with some other recently acquired scopes and gear. £250 posted

Sent my Fury 5000 rf binos off for a warranty repair, only yesterday. The eyepiece caps would pull off when removing the rain guard. Can’t comment on the issues that are reported on their riflescopes but a lifetime warranty on a rangefinder is outstanding.

You may be right in that it may be more difficult to find a new scope with a duplex ret, but I’m sure Leupold still make them. Would you consider buying a used scope?

Sightron do a simple crosshairs with centre dot. I’ve got the S3 6-24x50, ace optics for the price.

or .22br

Indeed, Farage and Co should be incarcerated in the Tower for their part in this, a no deal brexit will cause havoc for years to come

In the unlikely event that I can afford to get a rifle built, I’d be very tempted to start with a LH action. My shooting is exclusively off a bipod/tripod and after cycling the bolt, it’s almost like starting again after every shot. Point taken about resale value, though, if only we didn’t have the ‘need’ to chop and change so often.

Gerber Strongarm, you could batten firewood til the cows come home and afterwards, bash zombies with the other end.

Do any right handed shooters use a left handed action in an ambidextrous stock? Theoretically, you could maintain all critical contact with the rifle and keep your sight picture, whilst cycling the bolt, even better if using a Kahles 624/525, with LH windage, everything could be done with your free hand. Possibly common practice in some disciplines, just never heard of it.

If you’re sure you’re going to stick to 200 yds, then .223/.222 is perfect, but if you might get a taste for longer range in the future, it may be a good idea to look at a larger calibre, a 6mm or 6.5mm, still not .308. As for a scope, if you can stretch to £500, you might pick up a Sightron S3. Always worth spending as much as you can afford on the scope. good luck

If you don’t mind me asking, why do you want a .308 for targets at 100m - 200m? There are many calibres much better suited to short range targets, in fact most. Unless you plan on shooting deer as well, it might be worth having a re think.
