Sorry to say but totally agree with your RSO on always keeping the barrel pointing in a safe direction no ifs no buts ( no pun intended) . I always lay my kit out so whenever the pelican case or rifle cover is opened the barrel is facing the target and we are only allowed to chamber a round when the rifle is in your shoulder and pointed at the target. I’ve set the peli case up to do so on a left hand side of shooting trench , if I’m on the right it becomes a pain and a little more room is needed but it s not too hard. Once bagged there’s no problem. Good looking mat and gun bag there . cheers

Hi there back to your original post. Tikka t1x has a ten shot magazine and most other brands have 4 or 5 shot magazine. My anschutz is very good but I need to carry 3 loaded magazines when I’m out after bunnies. A ten shot mag is a very useful thing to have. Cheers

I went with the titan TR10 and it fits inside a sliding wardrobe against the outside wall. 90 kg is very heavy but it’s not going anywhere.

A big bratton sound is good but rated for 20 shotguns only really makes room for 6 scoped rifles if like me you prefer to have a gap for the turrets. Fits inside a wardrobe. You’ll need a strong mate and a rope to pull it up the stairs. just my preference that I don’t like the rifle barrel sat on the floor end . cheers

Never trade a slot in on the license. Just get a variation and another rifle . As before posts I’m using my .22 lr more than ever on the bunnies especially when the farmer has holiday people in the barns . So quiet shooting is required , upto 100 yards . 17 hmr is great with night vision as don’t need to worry about range finding ie 100-150 is easy shooting. Anything over that and it’s 223 time .

Snap this up lads as there’s no better night vision than this. Clearest view with IR nighmaster or Pbir heavy on battery’s but best image ever .

Accuracy international recommend cleaning the trigger with wd40 . Don’t use this if there’s any rubber parts in there as it seems to swell certain rubber or neoprene seals . Info from the manual

KG1 carbon remover barrel cleaner or boretech carbon remover works well on my AI tactical muzzle brake. Afterwards use a wire brush and a sharp Stanley blade to remove the stubborn bits. Doesn’t scratch the surface.

Hornady 20 xtp works best from my anschutz with the 19” barrel . I have tried all the brands and Winchester varmint have the thicker cases so never split . Think the worst were federal and Remington for quality control. I try to go with hornady 17 gr or 20 gr and cci 20 grain bullets depending on what is in stock.

Thanks for all the replies. All sorted here .

Should have bought a cheap rifle just to put it on Lol Or put it on the mantelpiece just to drool over it . Beautiful bit of gear

Anarchy outdoors do a copy . Do they ship to uk ??

Hi there Thank s for the info, yep seen it at brownells but not in stock. Prefer to buy when there’s actual stock. I like the AI bolt and my anschutz that are also a similar contour and thought I’ll get one to match . Maybe not !! cheers

Anyone know where to get one of these in the uk https://www.eurooptic.com/Sterk-Shooting-Tikka-T3-Swept-Ball-Handle-Black-SAU-T3B.aspx Does euro optic deliver to uk without any import problems? Info much appreciated

Just for information. Residue might come off with a loctite specific product. We used to have this at work and think it was acetone based ie nail polish remover might work. I have mounted a pic rail on my 223 varmint and used the tikka recommended green loctite which sticks like you know what . A bit of heat from a hairdryer might help. As said it won’t affect the rifle if you’re using a dovetail mount.
