    CZ 452 Optics and Rings

    Re: CZ 452 Optics and Rings If you are looking to use this as a cheap ammo trainer for the .308 then another SS would make a lot of sense. The 10x works well at .22 ranges. TC

    scope ring spacer

    Re: scope ring spacer A while back I shimmed inside the rear ring using 35mm film negative. I would not go more than three layers and go gentle tightening. It's not ideal but will get you some elevation when a canted rail is not available. TC

    155grn lapua scenar fps top speed?

    Re: 155grn lapua scenar fps top speed? Makes sense Lindy - I'll be having a play with some further numbers later. I've just started to allow my 14 year old son to help with some of the reloading process. As this point he's cleaning primer pockets, cleaning necks, seating primers etc but...

    155grn lapua scenar fps top speed?

    Re: 155grn lapua scenar fps top speed? As I recall from my initial load dev 2900 was the MV required to stay supersonic to 1000 in all conditions. Unless you are finding another accuracy node I don't think the extra fps is gaining you much when compared to how hot you will need to stoke it...

    155grn lapua scenar fps top speed?

    Re: 155grn lapua scenar fps top speed? I'm getting 2930 from 46.5 of N140 with Lapua brass and BR2 primer in a 26" barrel. It's a compressed load at mag length and is fairly hot in Quickload terms but no pressure signs......

    tactical sling

    Re: tactical sling I have a TIS but like LoneWolfUSMC recently picked up a "super Sling 2" as well - despite the tacky name it suprised the hell out of me for the money! If you don't need the cuff and are just going to be using hasty sling it would get my vote for general use. TC

    Gunsmithing Tikka rebarrel to a 6br??? Magazine???

    Re: Tikka rebarrel to a 6br??? Magazine??? When i was researching for my 6BR build i was told that swapping to the Tikka 22-250 mag worked well feeding 6BR, in fact one of the better ones out there. I actually ended up using a Sako 75 action and will be mag feeding it using a 6PPC mag...

    CG Jackson Trigger vs Jewell HVR

    Re: CG Jackson Trigger vs Jewell HVR You're welcome! I think it's a great trigger but unless you desperately want a twin stage I would not go to the expense to replace the Jewell and re inlet. Have you thought about a shoe on the Jewell blade ? There is plenty of protecting width on the...

    CG Jackson Trigger vs Jewell HVR

    Re: CG Jackson Trigger vs Jewell HVR Posting the above prompted me to go pull the rifle with the CG trigger out of the cabinet and work out what was going on. The inside of the trigger unit was a little gummy, a hose out with butane lighter fuel as per Jackson has things looking much better...

    CG Jackson Trigger vs Jewell HVR

    Re: CG Jackson Trigger vs Jewell HVR I chose a CG over a Jewell as I wanted a two stage to mirror my TRG plus I have large hands/long fingers so the adjustability is a benefit. In terms of the actual break of the second stage I think the two are on a par, at least to my level of experience...

    Gunsmithing Advice on finish please

    Re: Advice on finish please I'm really impressed with Durabake at the moment - no mixing, short oven cure and tough smooth matt finish using an inexpensive airbrush. Relatively small range of colours but cover the ones I want. TC
