Mick probably took the pic!

Just saw this. Sharing, both because I think it's a great photo, and because I was surprised to see No4s in use in 1972 2nd Fd Regt RA, Belfast 1972: RSM in centre.

£10.5K ?!?

Interesting. Makes me think on a .22 SAK mod, the easiest place to 'attack' would be a replacement front end cap, with its exterior threaded, and the weight reflex-style back over the mod.

(Now please do a replacement external tube threaded for a weight for a .22lr SAK mod (thinking that's the .22lr 'standard' mod?) 😊)

Perfect!

One thing that bugs me on the ball aesthetic, and I suppose is, Nite too, is tons of effort put into luming the indices, then only tiny slivers of tube put on the hands - the emphasis, given a watch's raison d'etre,strikes me as arse about face.

Looks bloomin good Dave. For a multifit option, and no extra barrel cutting/threading, why not thread the rear exterior of the brake and have the weight there? For extra mass, if needed, the weight could extend back, reflex-style, over the barrel?

Absolutely fine.

sk match is best, sk standard plus a gnat's nadger close second.

Wow! 👍

I'm not sure a bolt will necessarilly be noticeably more accurate than a BAR22... put enough scope on the BAR and give it a go. Mine is silly accurate.

The cyclops reviewer is technically spot-on, and I quite enjoy his enthusiastic quirky Southern style I'd have a dig through his reviews. This review led me to get this Element scope for .22 use ...I'd say it's about 85% of a 5-25 Schmidt for £2000 less. He also reviews the delta that Top Scots has mentioned, sounds even better, but £400 more:

Why can't you upload pics? If the filesize is too big - make them smaller

Nice! Agonised over one of those vs a GMT way back when.

I think, if he's genuinely in his 80s, we can bend the rule 😊

Now sold

A brilliant idea - a quasi-Tubb

bump - offers?

Bump - reduced to £75 posted

One left.

It's part of why a web forum and posting under a 'nom de plume' is far preferable to fb...

I suspect that'd be fine. Vernier? Just a mark and by eye - close enough for government work 😉
