    Scope power setting ??

    For paper targets I'll use the max magnification possible. Mirage or low light being the only real reasons to power down.

    Leupold Mark 4hd? Kahles K525i DLR? Wider mag range but meets most your other specs.

    Tikka T3 Thread

    Finland is at the of my list if counties to move to if New Zealand continues to slide into oblivion. I visited last year, foot for very long and barely left Helsinki but I throughly enjoyed the place.

    .223 - 5.56

    This is the same proof prefit you’ve been using throughout your posts in this thread? What are you COALs for each of the bullets? You seem to be getting pretty quick speeds considering you have a pretty short free bore. Has this rifle ”officially” moved from being a trainer to match rifle? Im...

    Maven selling 200 or 300 (which is the usual MOQ) RS1.2 scopes doesn't mean someone like Vortex or Nightforce is going to invest into R&D for a product that will need to sell 1000's a year for them to make it worth their while. It will be interesting to see if it continues to sell in such large...

    Not being able to keep to them in stock means nothing if you don't know how many they are getting in at a time. SWFA can't keep their scopes in stock and have huge back orders, not because they sell 20,000 a year but because they haven't been getting regular shipments.

    That doesn't mean they are selling 1000s of these things. They could only be getting them in at a few dozen a shipment.

    Vertical Stringing

    Starting at 15:00, is the method I use to clean the chamber. If the rifle when from shooting well, to vertical stringing then the chamber would be my guess.

    Vertical Stringing

    I've been struggling with excessive vertical stringing with my T1x, causing me a lot of grief. Do you use a suppressor? It's usually lead fouling in the suppressor or carbon ring that causes it. Does your bore scope show that the chamber is spotless?

    7-6.5 PRC

    Being that F class is driving this, I'm guessing loads will be longer than SA length?

    Boeing 737 Max at it again

    That's a 25 year old 737NG could be any number of reasons for the panel to have broken. I don't work on NGs but that could well be a common problem that has just not been picked up before now. The biggest issue in aviation maintenance world wide since covid has been a huge shortage of staff...

    Rifle Scopes Lightest Rings

    Talley rings are very very Iightweight, have only used the combined base/ring mounts though. NF ultra lites are my favorite scopes rings and what I've been trying to standardize on. Not for the weight bit they are well made, simple design, and repeatably RTZ if im playing musical scopes.
