Hi there, 

if still available, is it illuminated?

PM sent yesterday 

I bought this scope from Glenn, smashing bloke to deal with and spot on with its condition, alas with my old failing eyesight I am struggling to pick up the retical in bright daylight, hence this piece is up for sale again.

I will take £900 or close sensible offers, it really is a lovely scope I just wish I could see through it, someone with good eyesight going to get a some great optics

Ian

Great deal done with Ruger7717, top bloke recommended seller

Hi, I will take this if still available thanks

If you can find one original Sako Finnfire Varmint takes some beating, superbly accurate

Hi hope you can help. I have a Remington 700 sa 20 Practical and have a problem with the Remington extractor chewing the rim of the .223 brass. I have just replaced the extractor again and still happening. I used the same Lapua brass cases since new and started to get sticking cases that I have improved with redding body die and sorting brass. I have been looking at upgrading extractor to Sako extractor and not sure if worthwhile or who to ask to do the work. So I would be grateful for advice and anyone wiling to share their experience. Thank you.

Get a competent smith to fit a M16 style extractor much better then the Sako style

I develop a load and then see how fast its going, nothing could be simpler, why complicate matters.

Ian.

 

what happened?

Yes i would like to know as well

Ian.

I shoot a single shot 22BR 1:12 twist, launching 55 grn SBKs @3580fps it groups 2" at 500yds and i have taken rabbits at 470 yards and crows at 430.

Longest fox was 230yds, unless you really want to stretch the range i dont think you need to go for fast twists and heavy bullets, just use a more suitable calibre, personally when i want to reach out past 500 i pick up my 257 AI.

I have never had anything other then a first class service and very good deals from Rugby Gunshop and Northampton Gun Company in the 25 years i have been shopping there.

I have been buying my reloading stuff from Norman, again excellent service, they always have what i need.

First class mail order service from Brownells and Sinclair even though they are international, oh and not forgetting PacNor, top prople.

Believe it or not the fit was not too bad, i reckon whoever did it took the crests off the thread to tart it up a bit.

Ian.

I did a thread correction for one of George's customers, it was the most shocking muzzle thread i have ever seen.

Rifle was a very nice Sauer Outback in 308 that had been threaded by a "reputable" shop.

This so called 1/2x20 UNF was .484" diameter, did not have an undercut at all, was torn and had no chamfer on the muzzle end.

The moderator would not butt up against the shoulder but the customers previous mod (T8) went on no problem!!

All i could do was chase the threads form an undercut and make sure the shoulder was perpendicular to the bore, ideally the muzzle should have been re-threaded but due to the fluted barrel, re-threading would have cut into the flutes, something the customer did not want.

I had a photo but my PC crashed last weekend and i have lost all my previous files.

Finman,

I dont want to dampen your spirits mate but you could have ordered your Mcmillan direct and saved maybe a couple of hundred quid, most of us here who have Mcm stocks have done this.
