Snap Shot Personal View First ...I just don't see the TRG..it has absolutely no use except as a prone range gun! Second...I have not shot the Super Varmint but I have shot the Tactical and they are almost identical! Pretty much the same response as above, it might be called a Super Varmint but it weighs a ton and I see it a almost exclusively a Range gun. I would not want to be carting this around the fields for long and I don't see any chance of using it standing! But..we are all different..if that's what you are after, then as a gun I'd say it was very good, I shot the .223 Ta

Mine is the same mate. I rang Jackson Rifles to ask them about it but whoever I spoke to didn't have a clue what the hell he was on about. I told him that the anodise coating had been burnt off and the heat had started to melt the centre of the mod, after a long pause to said this is normal. I'm not convinced this level of damage is normal, what do you think? Check your paperwork for the Sak...I seem to recall it has a lifetime guarantee (or something like that) send them £10 and they will repair or replace it...I wish I could remember but I've lost my paperwork...it's something

Thanks for the ideas guys..Ive been digging around on the web and found complete mounting systems less than half the price of Optilock..got to be worth a try! Cheers
-
DEKER.if thats your problem get yourself a lapping bar for truing the rings square to the bases they are the best way to mount a scope and take any discreppancies out of the rings........ You can't...the screw holding mount a base together is UNDER the mount so you have to adjust everything OFF the gun!!! It should have a 2 point mounting system between mount and ring..at that price I expect good design and accurate engineering..this system has an obvious flaw!!!

What gun??? All the Raptors prefer about 185-200 Bar, perhaps as high as 205/206 bar for the FAC versions, but NOT 220 bar, that's much too high for these. Is it one of the Praire Jobs..don't know what the pressure is meant to be on those??
-
It's down to your barrel..mine prefers the 5.51, I'm running at 26ft lb and the 5.52 are too tight up my barrel...I loose about 1/2-3/4ft lb if I use the 5.52!
-
Optilock...... ONE mounting point between base and ring means its very very difficult to mount them both absolutely straight...and at around £100 a set I expect better engineering and design! £20-£30 Pro mounts on the Air Rifle and Rimmy seem MUCH better to me but they don't make them for the Sako/Tikka!
-
I already have a Tikka and I'm going to invest in some new hardware soon. Sako and Tikka are on the list to think about at the moment, but I absolutely hate and detest the Optilock Scope mounts....and they are not cheap. Not sure what scope I will get yet but does anyone have a Tikka/Sako without Optilock mounts..if so what are you using and are you happy with them. Cheers! Deker

F**k me...I don't recall ever having a 4 shot, 1/4 inch group at 200 yards!

Ratman2 Have a word with Jackson to see if they have any tips! http://www.jacksonrifles.com/sak22lr.htm I have had my Sak for about 18 months, only had it apart the once and not a problem....I tend to scrub it and bash hell out of it; the crud falls out. If Jackson can give you an approved cleaning procedure I'd be interested to hear!

http://www.remington.com/library/downloads...ers_manuals.asp Anything on there help, don't know the 552..does it come under anything here??
-
Rimfire barrels tend to need less cleaning than centrefires, but to maintain accuracy and barrel life it is a job that should not be neglected! A rimfire and barrel could last you for life if you look after it! Rimfire powders tend to be filthy compared to centrefire and the build up of debris/unburnt powder in the moderator can cause a lot of problems if not kept clean! Bore Snakes were only ever introduced as quick clean out in the field (originally for shotguns if I remember correctly) until you get home and do the job properly!

Lots of great Motown tracks (so my Dad told me)..what is really frightening is that many are over 40 years old and some nearly 50 years old! Of course I can't remember any of them!!!

Check Google News: International Condemnation. If ye multi lingual, hit ARCHIVES too. It's for real Cheers DS...I still struggle to believe this, perhaps I just don't want to let myself believe humanity has stooped to such a low level!

I received an email on this several weeks ago and dismissed it as a sick wind up....IF this is true it is appalling. What doesn't add up to me is what happened to all the animal rights people when this was happening, what happened to the RSPCA or equivalent, what happened to all the soft hearted women and children walking by this outrage, what happened to the authorities in the area and the owners of the exhibition...did they all miss this or consider it acceptable!!! Perhaps it is true, perhaps it did happen, and certainly if it did it is an absolute disgrace! Anyone remember hear

He has the Heavy Barrel Laminated, looks good and works well, (would have to suggest more of a range gun), it's too heavy by a mile for me, I'm just a big girlie really, want someting light and easy to cart around the fields!
-
This is just what I was looking for on this thread.....I had never even thought of this one, thanks for bringing it to the table but there is nobody around my way that carries this stuff..cheers though!!!
-
Appreciate the input and help but I rather think after due deliberation it will be one of the old favourites, .243 or .308. I quite favour the .308 but my FLO doesn't like the .308 for Fox (overkill he says) so odds are I will end up falling in line with most of the UK again and getting another .243. One more question.. What do you think of this package (.243) http://www.peterlawman.co.uk/howa.php I see the weak link as the scope/mounts, I did have one of these EXACT scopes, (it's on my lads Gamo Air rifle now) and whilst it offers good value for money I would prefer someth

There is no magic answer here, as not only are the barrels and loading systems different but so are we. Hope you find one that works well for you

air arms pellets are made by jsb. they just have the air arms name on the tin thats all its like some other places that have stuff made by the same firm. but there brand is on it. i wouldnt use biz mags in standard 12ftlb 22cal air rifle but i use them in a 12ftlb 177 air rifle to 3o yards and then use lighter air arms ones in the 22 to 30 yards and in the 177 to 40 yard in fac air arms are good to 28ftlb to 30 ftlb as long as the skirts are not damaged and biz mags 30ftlb and over. but i stick to 30ftlb in fac anyway and never go over it. wastes to much air and for not any gain re

Never too young and seldom too old! Enjoy the sport, we need more like you!

Looks a good one! You been painting your gun again or is it just the way the light hits it?? What have you got on the end of it Remmy and are you happy with it? Cheers
-
I was told exacty the same thing Deker when I phoned Air Arms to complain about damaged skirts on their pellets.They said the pressure of the air would reshape the damaged skirts.I was even told to try them out if I didn't believe them. So off I went to shoot some targets,I put 5 good pellets through the barrel and the accuracy was spot on. Then I selected 5 pellets with damaged skirts and the difference was unmistakable,i hit everything except the bull. You were just exhausted after the first five
-
Jamie had it spot on in the first reply. Trouble is different barrels do like different pellets. There are lots of excellent pellets out there but some are terrible in some barrels and brilliant in others. AA Field and Bisley Magnum are rated up to 30ft lb, but my opinion is that Bisley magnum are too heavy in a 12ft lb gun unless you are shooting very close range. The AA field do suffer from bent skirts because the alloy is soft, this is taken up virtually instantly down the barrel and will generally have no effect on the flight. Accupels, FTT, and a few others are worth a t

Unless you have it on a FAC the answer is 110% NO! Reading between the line you are sitting on a 5 year jail term!
