I lost the eye piece cover for my new Leupolc BX-2 cascades. Does anyone know where & how you can order a replacement. How important are replacements and do the lenses scratch very easily?

Re: Butch's Bore Shine Good to hear, the stuff's dynamite!

I was recently recommended the stuff to use to remove some slight rust in the bore. The stuff seems to work incredibly well, every patch has been consistently dark even in what I thought was a relatively clean bore. I have read rumours that this may be because it can strip off the metal on...

Re: Replacement Floorplates I haven't been able to find anywhere online that sells replacement floorplates that would fit as yet. I might have to ask the local gunshop if they can order the parts, or go and see a gunsmith. When it comes to finding a replacement floorplate/trigger guard, are...

Re: Replacement Floorplates are there any websites that sell parts/accessories for such rifles? I'm in Australia and the whole city only has one gunsmith and a handful of gun stores. Online is more than likely my only option.

I have managed to scratch the hell out of the floorplate on both of my rifles by not realising at some point that they have been rubbing up against an apparently highly abbraisve surface. The two rifles are a Weatherby Fibreguard/Vanguard and a Winchester 70SA heavy varmint. The mechanism itself...

Re: Weatherby Fibreguard .308 It appears to be moreorless a Vanguard, there doesn't seem to be much info available on the specific rifle. Here's a link to what it looks like http://www.reloaderswarehouse.com.au/specials.htm (it's the last one down). I'm getting it here in Australia with...

Re: Weatherby Fibreguard .308 anybody?

I am very close to signing on the dotted line for a good deal that includes a Weatherby Fibreguard .308 with a Leupold 4-12X scope. I was just wondering if I could get any last minute reviews if anyone has, or knows anyone who has, had experience with this rifle or weatherby's/.308's in general...

I live in Australia and usually go after varying game from rabbits up to roos. I have a .22-250 which is barely adequate for roos. I recently had an encounter with a large sow with a litter, needless to say my .22-250 was like a pea shooter. My rifle is also too heavy for lugging around the...

Re: Scope Lens cleaning It's a Tasco

Re: Scope Lens cleaning It really is quite weird. They may well be on the inside. they looks like small scratches or finger marks but they aren't on the exterior surface of the lens.

Re: Scope Lens cleaning There are some scratches on the scope lens but they appear to be not on the surface but rather, on the purple layer just beneath. It doesn't appear to be affecting the scope. Any idea what's up with that?

Re: Scope Lens cleaning I've actually noticed that looking at the scope lens in the light at the right angle there does appear to be a smudge mark but its almost definitely not on the top surface, which looks quite confusing.

Re: Scope Lens cleaning I live in australia so it may be a little difficult. I cleaned mine with toilet paper the other day and it appears to have left minute scratches, I hope it comes out.
