  1. As posted Tikka CTR , metal mag . Varmint only has a plastic 6 shot mag but maybe a slightly heavier barrel . I ended up buying rifleman’s 10 shot alloy mags for my varmint tikka to allow for a longer bullet in 223 . Very nice piece of kit 👍👍
  2. Interflon uk do some nice products which are also rebranded by beretta
  3. Just re read my AI Manual and it says only oil for the tactical muzzle brake to moderator threads . Some of these anti size products might not be aluminium friendly?? . Coppa slip is great for mild steel but not for stainless. Nickeleeze took over from it but still think there’s special stainless and aluminium anti sieze compounds . Need to be checking data sheets and coshh assessment s
  4. Wildcat moderator s recommend this grease for threads and o rings
  5. Accuracy international recommendations are CLP for bolt and action. Gt 85/wd40 for triggers and that’s it. Everything else is leave it dry . A little grease on the folding stock hinge .
  6. This or KG1 is great at cleaning carbon and then a spray with brake cleaner degreaser. Should do the trick. A light oil afterwards before storing. cheers it’s Friday 🍻
  7. We need one of them Hollywood silencers😃. The accuracy international mod is very good at making the rifle shoot with a whoosh rather than a crack in 308 , and the big wildcat predator 12 on the 223 doesn’t make much difference. It does stay on target though.
  8. Maybe we should stop buying unproofed moderators ?? A lot of suppliers would go out of business!!!
  9. Trickler setting s for info
  10. About £480 all in and it came within 3 weeks 😃. Very happy with it. Read his info page/ updates email and I found I needed a 1 mm washer to be put under the rear foot to get the desired feed rates for viht powders . N135/140 ran well with middle settings and n150 needed a few tweaks due to its kernel size . Watch his videos on how the motors need to run especially the fine adjust one , as this needs to start at full speed then ramps down to trickle to the target weight. reloading with a tray of primed cases and seating a case one at a time there is always a cup of powder ready to go in the next case by the time I’ve seated a bullet and put the round in the box.
  11. Might be interesting to open the Sak mod up and post us the pics!!! . When we do a sweep up in front of the indoor firing point at the club it’s amazing how much burnt powder there is on the floor. I’ll keep cleaning it regularly and put up pictures next time. cheers
  12. Most cans aren’t proofed /marked . The AI mod is proofed and stamped 308 but I believe it’s the same as the 338 one . My rimfire and wildcats are unmarked. Wildcat web I read a while back stated unproofed on their products. ????
  13. My anschutz is back to shooting spot on now . Rws subs , eley subs , Winchester 42 grain subs , SK plus all shoot very well. Problem was the dirty powder filled mod . so much for those who say never clean the mod !!! . beware of eley subs though. Years back they were good then the advertised 40 were actually 38 g and now they are advertised at 38 g and most are at 36 g . I need to clean the mod every 100 rounds to make sure everything works properly. Sak and ase utra mods used . This is from a 16” barrel, nice and short but maybe not burning all the powder . The same mod on an anschutz 17 hmr with a 19” barrel hardly ever needs cleaning. Usually do a quick clean with a bore snake to clean out the residue. rws are very waxy , Winchester seem to have no lube and eley have a hard wax lube . Ammo availability is a major problem. Keep inside of the mod dry as I’ve found that wd40 and Napier mod spray doesn’t really help. Some European ammo will suit the rifle better than others. cheers mate
  14. If you’ve got the money, go new with the new system. With the latest fun going on stick to standard military calibres ??? at least for a while 😀👍
  15. See what it looks like down the barrel . A good clean and don’t forget the crown. Then check barrel to stock fit and correct tension of the receiver screws. It should be very accurate. I’ve been having accuracy issues with my anschutz but found that the mod was regularly getting mucky inside and then putting the rifle over the shoulder muzzle up gave lots of fliers . Used a different clean mod with a bigger inside volume helped. Also carry it muzzle down helps. Try lots of different ammo . Good luck
