Just to let you guys know, Falcon Optics have now introduced their 4-14x44mm FFP with a fully illuminated reticule based on the BL20 (mil). They also do a MOA/MOA scope, although I am not sure if that one is available with illumination. I've been looking for a FFP Mil/Mil scope for my .22LR...

Hi, I'm laid up at the moment after an illness so to kill time I have been tinkering with some ballistic calculators for my Ipod Touch, specifically using apps from Hawke and iStelok to run figures for my .22LR using Eley Subs.. I am working in all metric units and getting a problem with the...

I've been pondering a new scope for a rimfire primarily used as a bunny basher /trainer. I don't particularly want to sink $800 plus into a Mil/Mil FFP scope, although thats what I'd like.. Failing that, I've decided I'd like a scope with a Mil dot reticle, and must have SF or PA...An...

After a longer wait than originally anticipated, I received my group buy MSC-T a couple of weeks ago. On examining the stock, I noticed that one of the cups had been installed in the wrong place, and the loops were missing, and there was no sign of the CDI bottom metal I'd had sent over to...

I received my Manners MCS-T today from the group buy, and I am looking for a little advice. The stock has come with pillars already installed and these are slightly raised/proud of the surrounding fiberglass.. What is the best way to fit the action? do i bolt it straight in with just those to...

Just wondered if anybody has an experience of these rifles and how they compare to say the early M40/M21 or the British L42's? I thing the bipod looks "neat" (meaning not bulky rather than "cool") but I'm not sure how well it would work given its position... The general layout and design...

I had an itch for a new .22LR having had the my old Brno about 20 years. Filled in the paperwork a couple of weeks back and picked this up last weekend only to have the weather and work get in the way of shooting it until today.. Its a CZ Varmint and a moderator off my old rifle, plus a...

I've not come across these scopes before, but Meopta is now offering two FFP Tactical type scopes with illuminated Mil dot reticles The first is the ZD 3-12x50 on a 30mm tube...This however is listed as having 1/6 MOA turrets...I'm hoping thats a miss print as surely nobody dumb...

Gents, Saw this new rear scope cover (in a air rifle magazine of all places) and wondered what you guys think. It is designed to ensure you are looking down the dead centre of the scope and so eliminate parallax. If you eye is centered correctly when looking through the scope, the four...

I am waiting to pick up a CZ 427 Varmint to use as a trainer, and was if anybody made a synthetic tactical style stock? I know McMilan and Manners do them, but what about the likes of Bell and Carlson or similar? Boyds was another idea, but I'd prefer a synthetic stock not wood...

I'm looking for a new scope for a .22LR....At present, its used mainly for bunny busting between 30m and 100m, due to accuracy limitations of the rifle (very old CZ)but I hope to get a new more accurate .22LR sometime in the future. The Hawke scope mentioned sems to tick all the boxes I want...

While looking for stay-on case for my Nikon 50ED I found the following thread about these scopes splitting in two! ED 50 Disaster Americans can take some comfort in that Nikon USA warrenty seems to cover this, while Nikon UK's doesn't! Had I seen these pictures and the way Nikon UK...

I am just wondering why the M40 of all vintages seem so highly regarded here, and yet you hardly ever hear of people lusting after M24? Besides the M24 being a long action, what other differences are there? I believe both use the same 40x Remington action for instance??? As the Maries build...

Iwish to replace the straight slotted action screws on a couple of my rifles, and wondered what the best design of head was, torx or hex? Is there any "standard" I should be looking for? I've heard some folks suggest either "marine" or "aircraft" quality items, but I'm not really sure where to...

Just wondering what the pro's and con's are for each type of spotter, for range work and spotting strike at long range ect. I currently have a couple of straight bodied spotters I use for stalking, and I find the straight eyepeice design quick and instinctive to use. However having borrowed a...

I'm looking for a stay-on case for a straght bodied Nikon 50ED, if anybody can recommend one? I have found a couple in the UK, but I'm still wondering what else is available??? Regards, Peter

I had my 10 year old nephew over today and he wanted to go "bird watching" which in reality means he gets to look through spotters and binos for the afternoon. To encourage his interest in the outdoors, for Christmas I bought him a Brasser Safari 20-60x80 angled spotter as pictured below...

After following the recommendations on here, I've got my Ipod Touch and just finished downloading Ballistic FTE onto it.. I've figured out how to set the various Units in imperial or metric, but I am struggling with regards configuring the rest of it, particularly the settings relating to the...

As anybody used or seen the 5.11 Rush 12 packpack below? I'm looking for a slightly larger daysack to carry my shooting and hunting gear than my present Karrimor Delta 25 (25L). I like the pockets on the Rush 12, and its about the size I need (30L to 35L) as I want it to also double for...

I'm looking for ideas for DIY target stands/holdersthat will hold a 2'x2'cardboard or hardboard backer a couple of feet off the ground. I've seen various wooden and PVC pipe frames on the net, but was looking for designs that would be easy to carry and put up on rough/broken ground and just...
