    :hmm: We all have out experiences, I have a T3 Lite in .223 and a Rem 700SPS Stainless in .308 (and a T3 Hunter in .243), I don't have any problem with the original stock on either ...EXCEPT...neither is much cop, but the Tikka is VERY badly balanced out of the box with NO weight in the rear stock, making the gun front heavy, very front heavy if you fit a moderator. My SPS didn't suffer from this even with a mod fitted, I have since taken about 3" off the flagpole of a barrel it came with, just for convenience! The T3 Lite took me 2 years, 3 Scopes, 2 Scope Mounts, 3 Moderators, 2 barrel

    The 700DM is detachable mag (DM), but that isn't a 700SPS Stainless. Perhaps there is a new model, can someone find a link?
  3. Deker
    Did I miss something, is there a new model or are you planning on doing some modifications, the 700SPS Synthetic Stainless comes with a Floor Plate not a magazine, and Tikka are all magazine!

    No, (as in V-Max) and it is unlikely they will! The answer is down to physics rather than wildlife damage! The .22lr excels as a sub sonic tool, it was never designed for the High velocity ammo that is currently available, which will never group as well as subs. The real factors with Ballistic tips and .22lr are accuracy issues combined with energy, the little .22lr case/propellant does not have the energy for appropriate Ballistic tip terminal effect!

    :hmm: I'm not following that at all, so why do they exist on HM2, HMR and WMR? What is wrong with a CHOICE?

    :hmm: HMR is too loud on rabbits, I think every situation needs assessing in its own right! Dead is dead my friend, a HMR is VERY capable in MANY situations, as is a .22lr, WMR etc. and in plenty of situations is a BETTER tool to use than a CF! .22lr .17HMR .22WMR ALL dealt with in clients Gardens! :thumbs:

    Absolute bargain, way over £200 new. All the bits, hood, sitting platform and in as new condition, only ever worn 2 or 3 times. Not worn it since last winter as I have lost weight, new jacket now arrived so this has to go, any questions fire away. UK size 42 £100 delivered to UK mainland. Cheers

    Not the Air Rifles! I understand these are CZ "copies" , and apparently the 5 and 9 shot metal mags fit CZ (not sure which models). Never heard of them before but they seem cheap, complete package of rifle scope mod £325 synthetic, £245 wood! Also, and very interesting, replacement stock synthetic or wood £50. Does that fit CZ????? I know nothing of these rifles, they may be complete pants for all I know but that begs some questions! All I know is Highland Outdoors seems to import them, Anyone throw anymore light on these?

    Hi the Sonic mods are being made for Highland outdoors if you look on their web sight it should give you all the information. Atb Woodydog. Thanks for this BUT I only see the Sonic 45 on their site, is it me or is this talk of the sonic 35 a typo???? EDIT Found them now!

    Shotshells where allegedly developed by our American cousins for snakes as they couldn't hit them with a single round. ...and if we look at the unlikely situation that I am being relentlessly attacked by a deranged snake, and I happen to have a shotshell loaded, I will not be thinking about consulting the statute books! :laugh:
  12. Deker
    i have a full box of shot shells but have never used them as i cant see them doing your rifling any good? If you have a half decent rifle keep shotshells out of it..and DON'T use a moderator either. They are as not as bad on the rifling as you may think, and a brush afterwords should clear it out. Just the same, if you intend to use Shotshells a LOT, I strongly suggest investing in a dedicated used cheap as chips rifle, there are plenty about, and it's a GOOD reason for 2 in the same calibre!

    I am well aware of what people say about the screen being bright, but it is only bright on maximum illumination settings, and you don't need that at 20 yards. A Bunny 200 yards away doesn't give a hoot how bright or ugly your face is. Regardles of this NiteSIte do offer a screen filter set should you so desire! And I sell it all if you are interested in buying a NS50 or NS200!

    I don't know this mod, I've heard of the sonic 45, are they related, anyone got any details/links? Cheers
  16. Deker
    It's the piece of string question! Brew up a hot load and pile the ammo through at a rate, ignore cleaning and damp and you will **** the barrel in no time. Normal shooting, normal ammo and a GOOD cleaning regime will have your barrel last several thousand rounds!
  17. Deker
    I haven't seen or used a CB in more than 20 years, are they still available? If people make out shot shells are bad they are using them in the wrong situation! They are VERY good at what they are good at, which is VERY close range small pest control. 20 yards is definitely on the far limit for pretty much anything cleanly, I wouldn't push it that far, 5 yards brilliant 10 ok, 15 :hmm:, but Magnum loads are also available (you need a WMR rifle). Birds, squirrel, snakes, rats, mice etc, but ideally at the end of your barrel.
  18. Deker
    Ok, possibly marginally easier to keep clean compared to a blued barrel, marginally better weather handling, but we don't live in the Arctic, hardly worth it even for Wales, and whilst considering that, think about the stock type as well! Probably not worth the debate, just get what you like best!

    Flippen 'ek John, you are a tuff old boy carting around a 14lb + lump. My heaviest, the .308, including sling, moderator, scope/sunshade/mounts, full magazine AND the 11-25 Bipod attached is only 11.1lbs..... without Bipod it's 9.93lb. No wonder you need a decent sling!

    :hmm: NO! only the expanding types of .22lr I am only talking about the HP he has asked about. Fair enough but it didn't read that way to me, when I see ALL, I see ALL! "I think all .22 LR is classed as expanding, yes"
  21. Deker
    Simple fact is, as with some CF ammo, they are still expanding whatever you want to call them but some can be bought on a FAC with NO expanding condition because they are called Match rounds! So what comes into debate is your definition of the word CLASSED!

    I have both, why not, but the tool is the CZ Silhouette and the fun is the Magtech 7022. Expect to use MUCH more ammo with the semi but not harvest any more bunnies, just because it's easy to!
  24. Deker
    Get whatever you like, but a .22lr with any round, but particularly subs, doesn't need a fortune of a mod on the end of it, a SAK at £30-35 is as good as any!
  25. Deker
    The Wildcat does for me, but make sure you get the COMPACT version, other moderators are available!
