Do they allow sight offset (as opposed to zero offset)?

Yup, I'd think so. And with a 'collimation' picked at the right distance, depending on what you're doing you could do a sort of 'left and right point blank' range and just ignore it - the values can be tiny Thinking on, a 'virtual 1000m collimation' is possible at 100m: Zero 2.7" left A virtual 500m collimation at 100m : zero 2.3" left (Fagpacketing on 3" offset)

I'm struggling to get my head around the idea that the error could be constant. I think it's more likely that tiny offsets aren't noticeable. But looking at geordie's scope it' -what? 3" offset. So, say collimate at 100m. At 50m the impact will be 1.5" left At 100 - zero At 150m 1.5" right 200m 3" right Etc Collimating further out would reduce the apparent effect Eg 300m collimate 100m 2" left 200m 1" left 400m 1" right 500m 2" right Collimate at 1000m 500m 1.5" left 600m 1.2" left 800m 0.6" left Etc ?

It'd be fairly easy to work out - obviously the offset is nil at the zero distance and 'grows' either closer or beyond - sketching in my mind, the offset will be repeated at the target at twice the zero distance.... if that makes sense

Yup, although I'm a fan of titanium and sword hands.

Possible you were looking at a 12-50 PM2? Look at the pic - the bolt throw is a bit irrelevant, the bolt is 1.5 inches behind turret in question Thinking on, the scope can only positioned like that with a rail. Terrier, do you have your scope on two-piece mounts?

?what?! Sure that wasn't a non-illum scope?! Look at my pic - they're nowhere near colliding.

You must have your scope set quite far back on the rifle for the bolt handle to be fouling the illum turret - are you not getting bumped on the brow by the scope during recoil?! Unless there's a reason for having the scope so far back; 'normal' scope position on the rifle would put the zoom ring above the bolt handle -ish. If you can; I'd recommend moving the scope forward.

Not had a prob on l/h T3 or l/h AW; what's the issue - bolt handle or hand?

For sometime now, I've ceased to 'buy-in' to the Mora advocacy; just dug this out of the bottom of a drawer - do much battening with a Mora, and, one day, it'll reveal to you that it's only a partial tang design

That's not a grab bag; that's a grab bag:

Keep meaning to start readvertising this, if of any interest: https://ukvarminting.com/topic/46084-bora-with-tooth-nail-stock-conversion/

Yup. Just googled it; that's Brad, but couldn't spot what training he's offering.

I think I would go to Bradley Bourner; strong Highland stalking background followed by a real (as opposed to imagined) background in sniping and, although it's around 14 years since I met him; a nice bloke. Can't remember the name of his company.. someone please chip in!

🤣🤣😂😭😭🤣🤣 Oh my days. Are you really still unable to post anything on here without always feeling a need to make some sort of passive-aggressive e-paranoid insult? Don't you bore yourself? Surely, you must? It's so repetitively, multi-year internet-persona 'odd'; and weepingly tedious .. No bias in this thread. Actually no interest in this thread at all, just a world-weary 'seen this before':

I think the blanks are blackpowder, in order to go 'bang' unconfined. I suspect a nitrocellulose shell won't give the same effect, unless you make it have to burst the plastic shell case.

😂 The last 11 words of that quote pretty much sums up how they come across - it's the truth! 😂

You say that, but... It's even 'toxic nostalgia' now, too 🙄 FFS I'm stunned most Guardian readers haven't 'offed' themselves, their world is so depressing

Ok.

Would I be correct in deducing that you are trade?

Blimey, this caught my eye: https://www.megahome-distillers.co.uk/alcohol-distiller-Polypropylene-jug

Yup, got pruning saws; I'm after high branches - quite like the idea of throwing a weighted line to get them, but no idea if pocket chainsaws are any good.

Never used one, but imagine they could be of use on some hard-to-get-to high branches; but also conscious that they may be useless gimmicks. Grateful for any thoughts or recommendations!

Please would you post a link to the mag insert version - can't spot it.

I realise this is a pretty superficial question; but has anyone found a .22 AR mag that visually approximates the external shape of 5.56 mags? MP15 mags jar my eye! (Or anyone ever cut an MP15 mag down to fit it into a 'proper' mag?)
