I'm not buying it, but the going price for a used ATN X Sight 4k Pro x5-20 is approx £650-£700 Hope that helps Cheers Bruce

Pencil and paper - it doesn't crash or need upgrades!! Some things just don't need a large ice cream computer!!! Cheers Bruce

If you must buy a Digex then any 940nm LED based external illuminator will be better than the non focussable 940nm supplied with the scope. Cheers Bruce

I think that simply highlights the difference in mindset between the majority of people in the UK and USA In the Great Britain, "self protection" is not regarded as a good reason for possessing a firearm. And the difficulty in obtaining firearms is the main reason we have far fewer deaths and injuries due to firearms. Frankly, your police and many of your citizens are just trigger happy Cheers Bruce

If he's only there "to render aid" why does he need to carry an AR? Cheers Bruce

No, it's still for sale. Cheers Bruce

PARD NV008LRF original model with V1.25 firmwareVirtually as new and comes with Shader 8 sunshade/adjustable aperture and 8 slot dovetail to picatinny adaptor. Mount has been drilled and tapped to provide mechanical elevation adjustment£700 inc RMSD Cheers Bruce

Schmidt and Bender 3-12x50 first focal plane, A7 reticleOptically perfect. Minor marks on the elevation turret cap and on the body near the front ringThe scope is shown with a PARD adaptor fitted - this and the scope rings are not included in the sale£500 inc p&p Cheers Bruce

Just had my CZ527 done at Mike Rainbacks. They did an absolutely fantastic job using the Kalixteknik CR2 adjustable cheek piece. With this cheek raiser no tools are needed for the adjustment Cheers Bruce

Detection range and target resolution are affected by the size of the objective lens. A bigger lens will give more detection range and higher target resolution. I'd definitely go for the xm30 Cheers Bruce

150m range suggests 17HMR minimum or a some sort of centrefire (definitely not 22 rimfire) For that range with those calibres, a rangefinder is not needed. Zero the rifle at 130-150m and then simply point and shoot. Cheers Bruce

You need to dispose of one rifle and tell the police the details of that transaction within 7 days Then you need to apply for a one for one variation. Once you have your certificate varied to allow you to acquire another 22, then you can buy one at your leisure. Cheers Bruce

FFS you are made of chemicals and hormones - without them you wouldn''t exist. Cheers Bruce

PM me please. Cheers Bruce

No pm received. Cheers Bruce

The OP is not going to take the part of the stock with the height and LOP adjusters, so I'm open to offers for the whole thing Cheers Bruce

I had the rifle set up on quad sticks in my garage and turned my back at the wrong time. The rifle (a Weihrauch HW60J in 22 Hornet fell off the sticks and landed in just the right way to break the stock cleanly just above the pistol grip. Form did kindly offer to repair the stock for £50, but I just didn't think it would ever be the same again. Cheers Bruce

I have a Form riflestocks stock for a Weihrauch HW60J, that has broken at the grip. The stock has both cheek raiser and length adjusters. Both of these are in perfect working order and could be removed and fitted to another stock

Don't think about it too much, just buy a DPT over barrel and you're good to go. The DPT mods are very light weight. There's not much difference in perceived noise reduction between pretty much all the centrefire mods on sale. It's stalking rifle so there won't be thousands of shots going through it like there would be for a target rifle - any mod on the market will last a long time if used on a stalking rifle. Having said that, I'd avoid steel mods like the T8 because of their weight and the fact they can rust badly from the inside forming pin holes, and also mods that can't be stripped for cleaning. Cheers Bruce

For less than £1500 I'd buy a new Pulsar Axion XM30S That way you get a full 3 year warranty. Try Blackwood Outdoors - speak nicely to Ian and you may get a bit of discount The XD50s and HD19S are old models, long discontinued so spares/repair could be a major issue Cheers Bruce

What method did you use to pull the bullets. I've used both a kinetic hammer and a collet puller, and in each case the bullets showed some damage. You lack of accuracy with those bullets may simply be a consequence of them having been pulled. Cheers Bruce

It is a definite cultural difference. In the UK and Europe, we panic buy toilet rolls, in the USA, in the same circumstances, they panic buy guns!! Both entirely irrational reactions to the same situation. However, it has to be said that the response of many US citizens to any "crisis" is to buy more guns. Cheers Bruce

Nothing to do with the military and everything to do with physics and economics. There are higher pixel count sensors available This is an HD sensor from ULIS (Lynred) who supply all the sensors for Pulsar https://www.lynred.com/sites/default/files/2019-10/Pico-1024Gen2-datasheet.pdf The problem is that the market for sensors like that is very small (primarily military) and that means each sensor is very expensive. The other problem is the physical size of the sensor. A 1024x768, 17 micron sensor is a lot larger (about 2.5 times larger) than a 17 micron 640x480 sensor. If you put that large sensor behind a 50mm lens and used the same eye display and optics that Pulsar use on the Thermions then the scope would have a base magnification of x1.25 - which wouldn't satisfy many people. To bring a scope with the large sensor up to the magnification of an XP50 would need an 80mm lens and the cost of such a lens would make the scope even more expensive., so sales would not be high The way forward is sensors with smaller pixels and the current state of the art is the 12 micron pixels in the Thermion XM50. However, 12 micron sensors with 640x480 pixels are not available in any volume yet, although ULIS do manufacture such a sensor https://www.lynred.com/sites/default/files/2019-10/Atto-640-datasheet.pdf and I'm sure these will start to appear on the top end Pulsar thermals with the next year or so. Using a sensor with smaller pixels allows the manufacturer to use the same or smaller (and therefore cheaper) lenses. A Thermion style scope with a 50mm lens and a 12 micron 640x480 sensor, and using the same display and ocular lens as the current Thermions, would have an optical magnification of around x2.8, which is a bit more than the x2 available on the current XP50 with a the 17 micron 640x480 sensor Detection range with the 12 micron core would also be greater than with the 17 micron core by around x1.4, since detection distance only depends on pixel size and focal length, the number of pixels in the sensor is irrelevant Cheers Bruce

Get a large cable tie and tie it around the adjustable part of the objective lens. The bit where the cable locks into the tie gives a bit of leverage, making it easier way to rotate the lens Cheers Bruce

The "pecking order" for digital NV scopes from best to worst goes something like this: 1. ENV 10 (previously known as the Armasight Drone Pro) 2. Pulsar Digex 450 3. Yukon Sightline N470, ATN X Sight 4K, Pard NV008/NV008LRF 4. Sightmark Wraith Prices pretty much reflect the position in the pecking order and their NV performance. The ATN, PARDs and Wraith are all perfectly usable in daylight as well as for NV. Cheers Bruce
