Hello all

I am looking to glass bed my Sabatti  308 into a plastic stock and would like to take advantage of your knowledge eg best kit to get and best method.

Cheers 

Mark 

I have the compact jet z on my 308.

It works a treat and it's very solidly built

Bit of an eye opener, one on Gunstar, like new £900!! I’ll pass I reckon 😑

That's a lot of cash for something that's made from pressed steel.

I must admit, they do look rather rudimentary......but such fun 👍

Yes it could scratch an itch depending on price

The CZ VZ61 looks unusual although a bit heath robinson made from tin kind of way

It looks seriously long and 'un-carbine'  in UK configuration - I think the design has the barrel too far forward to work with anything longer than a pistol-length barrel. (Plus, when it fell out of the fugly tree, I think it must have hit every branch on the way down! 😂 If that was an ergonomic sacrifice, I'd respect that, but it also looks 'un-ergonomic', like a newborn giraffe, to my eye - I think the designer must have single-issue-obsessed about bore axis height to the exclusion of every other consideration😳 ) 😊

It is rather an aquired taste😊 shame we can't have the 45acp, does anyone know if the walther mp5 is a solid barrel or a skinny one in a liner.

I bought the KRG for one of my T1X. Couldn't be happier.~Andrew

I haven't looked at that one yet, did it drop straight in or did you need to do some work on it.

Agreed 100%. I don't understand how shots are not counted in the group regardless of reason. Brexit pro euro thinking. If I discounted shots I messed up I would be incredibly good lol.

I agree what you are saying but I am testing ammo not my shooting ability unfortunately I don't have a proper rest to put the rifle in to take the shooter error out of the equation once I have finished the ammo testing and found what works best it will be purely my fault if it all goes wrong which it probably will. 

But I will still put it in a oryx chassis when I get the funds 

What about the kriss vector with the 12 inch barrel

Nice, but the 2nd target is about 0.9 and 4th is about 1.1 to my eye - and that's the reality / frustration of .22!

The whole thrust of this thread is that people shouldn't ignore the parts of their groups that they don't like just because it's a .22! 😂😊😊 

 

I only exclude the ones I know were my doing when ammo testing, when that is sorted they all get counted.

The frustration of the. 22 rimfire ammo can drive you mad😨 

Did some more ammo testing at the weekend with the T1X at 50m any crossed out shots were my doing.

Not sure what happened to the sk match its normally better than that. 

I  fitted a safe for  someone in a  new build which was plasterboard dot and dab onto block work so there was a bit of a gap between the block and plasterboard so I cut away the plasterboard so the safe was against the block then used long rawl bolts to get a good purchase onto the block. 

As said before condensation in a garage won't do your firearms any favours

Here, the BATF would consider the rod a shoulder stock, condemn the whole rig as a short barreled rifle and toss you in prison! It's all madness. I like my GSG and once used it for informal bowling pin shoots.  I still shoot it whenb th efit takes me. ~Andrew

There are some strange laws on both sides of the pond

You'd fit right into our crowd. We like to shoot at push pins at 100 yards. 12 ga hulls at 200. I also have a GSG 1911 that I like to shoot. 

Good 22LR ammo is hard to find here.  In this area, you can't just go buy a box of SK or Eley. It's all by mail order. That is how I got my small stock of SK Biathlon, The only exception is that the local ranch supply sells old stock "Federal Ultra Match" which is RWS rebranded by Federal. They mistakenly ordered a large quantity of it and some of us have been buying it at $12.50/50 and stashing it away. (It will as good as I can hold from my Tikka) The Biathlon is almost as accurate in my Tikka at half the price so I have tried to stock up on that for general shooting.

In truth though, the accuracy from my Tikkas ( I have three of them in the house) has been great with everything but the last LOT of CCI Subsonic: Horrible in that it shot 3/4" at 50. The Tikka my girlfriend shoots will ring a 3.5" steel swinger at 200 yards with inexpensive, Eley-primed Aguila Standard Velocity as often as the wind and good follow-through will allow.

All of ours are 20 inch models and other than cleaning the action and bolt, the bore is left untouched. It is quite dry in Montana so this is never a problem. When we do clean the bore -like after a windy, dusty outing- it's a patch with a scant drop of oil, followed by dry patches. That is all the cleaning it ever needs.  ~Andrew

The difference in your gsg and mine is I have a 12 inch barrel and a steel rod hanging off the grip to make it legal over here, it has to be 24 inches overall lengh

It didn't effect mine. 

This is the way I shoot, by the way. Field conditions. I usually have a right to left dispersion that we call "fishtailing" Just an inaccuracy of hold. Wind will always show up on paper but I am my rifle's worst enemy when it comes to delivering absolutely faultless (ammo capable) grouping. My top accuracy, other than SK Biathlon, is R-50.~Andrew

I'm probably my own worst enemy as well especially with a new rifle that I am trying to find the right ammo for. 

I will try to find some biathlon and r50 to see what difference it makes. 

On the plus side I do love shooting. 22lr at 100 yards it's great fun and no reloading as with my .308.

Sometimes I shoot my gsg 1911 at 100 off hand and even hit the target most of the time 😊

Cheers Mark

Nice shooting. Bag or bipod? Mirrors my groups with SK Match. Can you get SK Biathlon? Seems to shoot better from my T1X.~Andrew

Shooting off bipod at the front and my hand /fist under the button. 

Forgot to say there was a slight breeze 3/5 mph.

I haven't found any biathlon in the area but I do have access to eley force, club and match that I haven't tried yet.

It will be interesting to see if removing the spacer in the barrel channel will make a difference. 

More to come next time I take it out.

Took the Tikka T1x out to 100 yards this morning using sk standard and match, groups opened up a bit from 50 yard groups so I may need more speed at this range.

The 2 best groups are match.

Next step is removing the spacer block from the stock then test again.

Finally a Oryx chassis lined up as my birthday present 

That's a beautiful bit of machining.

I use the small moleskine notebooks, you can normally find them on offer somewhere 

Done

Thank you I shall take a look the Accurizer kit looks promising 

First outing for my Tikka T1x, I have never owned a .22 bolt rifle before so have nothing to compare it to but I must say I am impressed, lovely smooth bolt and I adjusted the trigger down so it not too light but just right.

Shooting off a bipod with SK standard

did well and SK Match was better still

7 shot group 50 yards match 

5 shot group match at 50 yards the flyer was some pillock behind me shouting 

Top target, can't remember how many but it was SK standard , bottom is 20 rounds SK Match. 

So happy with that for the first go.

At some point I might try a MDT Oryx chassis or GRS bravo if anyone has any experience with these or something else under £500 would love to hear your thoughts. 

Now that's a good looking lbp well worth the modification.

How much did it cost

Hello all

I must have had my 1911 for at least 5 years now so thought it was time I did some accuracy up grades as the barrel bushing looks a bit sloppy now, so can anyone recommend after market parts that are available and if they had much affect on the accuracy. 

Cheers Mark  

I have been looking at the T1X myself and doing a fair bit of research,  check out youtube there is loads of reviews and quite a few people in the states have put them in Oryx chassis and changed the barrels although find the right ammo and the stock gun can be sub moa 

Even as stock it appears to be a popular rifle
