Howdy Lifebreath, That was my first thought and did double check my 5-25 PMII packaging, took it to the range and checked! Another interesting thing, all of the FFP 12-50PMII reticles that I have eyeballed here in Oz have the "hollow" thick part to the reticle at the 9, 12 and 3 o'clock...

Brains trust, I have recently picked up a S&B 12-50x56PMII with a P4F reticle and expecting it to have the same subtensions as my 5-25x56PMII it appears to be significantly finer at the same power settings. Both are FFP Now I am happy that is finer, however, I would like to know what the...

The 8.58 x 70 might be your bag

Well, after speaking with Beretta Australia (very helpful chaps) I was able to learn how to remove the trigger group - for starters! The new trigger design requires the trigger to be pulled to enable the 5 mm hex head key in to engage the trigger group removal screw. Easy. I now...

SB, The trigger angle is three way adjustable and I prefer that set-up.

lencomatt, I would agree with MTETM, 6.5 Super SLR is a about a better case design, with a longer neck, 20 degree shoulder and better throat/barrel life. My dies, reamer and gauges have just turned up and I will now need to give some thought to a barrel. Another advantage of the design...

Removal of the safety extender looks tricky too? Here are a couple of pics from the front engaged, rear engaged and front safety off. Regards, SH

SAKO TRG Brains Trust, I have just picked up a new TRG-22 and am unable to remove the trigger group to adjust the second stage per instructions. There are a few minor differences with this newer version over the previous, in particular the safety catch now has a wider "spade" fitted to it...

Re: .223 and .308 powder Varget is your friend I use in both; 77gr Nosler CC in the 223 and weights from 150 to 185 in the .308.

G'day members in Miami FL! I will be visiting your part of the world late next week/early January and would appreciate some suggestions for the usual gun nut must see's, shops, etc? The conference is in the Downtown area and I can feel the need to bring a few trinkets home! PM's also...

Re: Schmidt and Bender 5-25x56PMII MTC Thanks to Alex, the nice new 5-25x56PMII turned up at my door today! My spec was on back order for a month or so - P4F Mil Mil CW. True to form Euro Optics are good to deal with, thanks again guys!

G'day members in Salt Lake City! I am looking to visiting your part of the world in early January and would appreciate knowing what your thoughts are for the usual gun nut must see's? There is a good chance of a day or so before attending a conference out of town and I can feel the need to...

Re: STEYR SSG 69PII Police The SSG69 is a classic, however still contemporary in many ways. I have had three over the years and whilst they are an acquired taste, all shot well. There are now a couple of base/mounting options available that provide for a pic rail if you need to change. The...

Re: Sako 85 varmint- good choice? AM, I have/had both and they fine rifles. As previously stated, whilst they may have not been designed for F Class...you WILL cut a fine figure! Of those two rifles in that application, I think the SAKO has the edge over the SSG if looking to change the...

Re: Zf69 scope question Howdy Orange, The ZF69 is a great (older) scope and a very close relation to the ZFM. A true classic. The ZF69 is a reticle moving scope, the next generation was the ZF84 with a slight change to the turrets, image moving adjustment and also available in 10 power...
