  1. Hi. Has the 1416 the single stage or two stage trigger ?
  2. As above, I bought the scope from OW in August this year Has sat on my Anschutz benchrest .22 rifle . I just don't get on with it ☚ī¸ Looking for 750.00 posted and ins. May consider px for another scope with a mag of x30 plus. Again for benchrest. It's in perfect condition and still sat on my Anschutz. If you require a photo please pm with your email addy. 🙂
  3. Thanks chaps . Spot on with the kettle. I will take a short ext lead 😀
  4. Booked for one night in September as the Pavilion is fully booked. My question is very simple 🙂. Does the room contain a 13A socket?
  5. I have had the bolt apart several times . Because of the firearms law in the UK , i cannot order another bolthead (in very short supply ). It would have to be a gunsmith and the rifle would probably require re- proofing.
  6. Steel wouldn't crumble like this seems to have , would it ? Must admit the damaged bit looks like cast iron .
  7. I haven't found any pieces , probably ground into dust ? It came from SA , has a replacement bolt . I thought bolt heads were made of white cast iron ? The broken area is grey coloured , I'm not sure if white cast actually appears greyish or whitish ?
  8. At Century 200yd electronic yesterday. Fired 20 factory PPU 174 and 10 handload using 40g of n140 . Everything went fine, nothing unusual, another great day shooting. While cleaning my rifle I spun the bolt head a few turns . It felt gritty so I took it all the way off . It seems a small section of the thread has come away, see photo. It was very tight to screw back on so I didn't force it . Instead I gently used a fine needle file to smooth the jagged thread. It screws on now but still dosent feel as smooth as it used to . The striker protrudes .046 ( when in fired position) and the gap between the cocking shoe and bolt body is .053 , about perfect. Had anyone had a similar experience?
  9. Thank you guys , really appreciate your help 🙂
  10. I fired a few factory PPU 174 and a few handloads using n140 40g , PPU brass and 174g bullets yesterday . Five clicks up for factory and 6-7 clicks up for handloads . That's at Bisley 200yards . Talking to a colleague he uses 41.5g of n140 . I intend to shoot from 100 to 500 yards . I assume I would have better velocity with 41.5g , which would mean less drop at 500 . Or will 40.0g be ok at 500 ? I have yet to try it 🙂
