    March 4.5-28 vs ZCO 527 for Rimfire

    I have a March 5 - 40 on my tactical rimfire so I will just talk about that. Firstly, eyebox. Set your scope up correctly and you will have no issues. Set up any scope wrong, and you will get problems. For positional shooting this means taking shots during practice time in multiple...

    March optics questions

    I have both. I use the March 3x24x42 on a very accurate bolt gun out to 600m with no problems. For 300, it is a no brainer. I would reinforce GoingTheDistance and get a focus wheel. I'd flip the eye box talk on its head, what the March does, and the 28x really does, is tell you when your...

    CZ452 vs CZ455

    Final shot - first try with night vision.

    CZ452 vs CZ455

    Sadly no - and I really don't want to take those skins off again (and as version 1 the cutting is rough)! But it is 3D puzzle of making the cross bolt holes, drilling, bending a 90 deg for the recoil pad and cutting for the action footprint. I thought I would need to fill and steel bed the...

    CZ452 vs CZ455

    The key thing to be aware of is the barrel band and the tang are on the same level so you end up bedding metal to metal. I had a benchmark accuracy point for this project using Tenex and it met, then exceeded my requirement. I used some AICS Long Action skins that were in the spares cabinet...

    Until you spend $10 on square bar at the hardware and build your own. Thank you COVID lockdown.

    Left-Hander Issue with March 5-42x56 High Master

    Wow! This has to be the best post ever concerning a scope malfunction ever! A new throw lever is just a 3D print away in 2021.

    Rifle Scopes New March-FX 4.5-28X52 HM WA

    The one I got to play with really "popped" at the 18 power point and was very usable in the 10 - 15 power range for sling shooting.

    Nightforce against the world

    The March 10-60 is a SFP scope that is designed for, and excels in, F-Class style shooting. The High Master glass is very nice indeed and gives the pop factor we gave, but makes shooting is heavy mirage a lot easier than other brands. I have my two NXS 22x that I used to love, and want to...

    Steyr SSG 69

    COVID has stopped people travelling (not to mention one of the few lawful excuses to leave the house was to walk your dog) and their was a rush (literally) in March buying every puppy in sight. Collies were getting silly prices then ($1000 to $1500) then they disappeared off the market as...

    Steyr SSG 69

    I saw the PII a few hours after I posted the comment. I want the PI with the spoon handle. Oh, and for our international friends, Border Collie puppies are being advertised for Aust $5000 to $6000 at the moment.

    Try and find one in Australia at the moment. COVID has sent the price of guns and dogs through the roof!

    Help needed!

    Then there is the problem. Basically I did everything wrong, CZ action, $8.90 piece of metal, dermal cuts, no bedding. But with Tenex the groups are gob smacking. The winter light at the moment means you can watch the bullet beyond 50m and through the March they arc into the target (and you...

    Search the 50m group and rifle. Have to love Tenex.

    After what I have been through in the past few weeks, a CZ 452 on a home cut chassis in AI skins using Tenex drops 1 hole groups at 100m.

    CZ 452 in an AI skin

    Not really. The biggest expense is the skins themselves and it is my view that the Long Action skins handle the bolt to magazine spacing. Of course you can spend as much as you like but my CZ is dropping the shots into single holes with Tenex - but of course that is another expense we won't...

    WW1 British Expeditionary Force Marksmanship Standards

    It is possible to form 280 Ross from 8 x 68s. Brass can also be bought. British infantry also were trained (pre-1914) in long range fire. Volley fire where the NCO directs the platoon at a distant object to create a beaten zone was practiced out to 2700 yards. It was used at Mons to break up...

    WW1 British Expeditionary Force Marksmanship Standards

    On the Ross, having played with them a bit, they are a wonderful piece of engineering, but they are wholly and solely a Range rifle. To the point that I started unconsciously to repeat some of the things McBride quotes in his book when the internal magazine jammed during a Rapid practice...
