    Do you have a dog? If you do and its well trained start beating at some shoots. You'll find a well trained dog will open doors mate . Keep asking

    Zastava make rifles for Remington. I've heard that they shoot best with a Bushnell 3200 3-9x50 using 30cal 150g SP PPU . One of the best beast bashing combo's .

    This is mine ............85 varmint 308 . I use this for both target and game, I find the heavy barrel best. It is a big lump to carry if its got my North Star mod on........... the only thing that would tempt me away from my 85 varmint woud be a TRG 22 .

    Quote Jonty "Its not the weight of the bullet its the length of bullet that determines what twist rate it can be fired through. It just so happens that heavy bullets are long. Light ballistic tip bullets tend to be long for their light weight so that might suggest how my tactical is able to stabilaze light rounds." Sorry but this is wrong It the weight of the bullet that determins the twist heavy bullets are designed for tight twists. Barrel Twist Rate 1:14" or 1:12" 1:9" 1:8" 1:7" or 1:6.5" Max Bullet Weight 55gr FB 65gr FB 73gr BT 8

    Oh dear...a little bold this one I think.... By "correct hands" ..... I take it you mean an Olympic standard Pistol shooter compared to a back garden air rifle plinker!! I have not said any thing about air rifle? And I am bold!

    I have both the guns your looking at The tikka is in 223. Both guns are superb , but the Sako has the edge over the Tikka. The quality of the Sako is just brill and the mag is a pleasure to use whare the Tikka can be abit of a pain. But both a great to use. If your looking to do alot of Stalking they are heavy to lug about especialy if you have a mod on. Mine are shod with Bushnell 4200's and I have a Aus Utra Northstar for the Sako. All the best.....you wont go wrong with any of them

    Sorry guys I've just read the biggest load of pish about the inaccuracy of pistols . I have been a competitive pistol and rifle shooter for over 23 years, shot for various clubs at Police Pistol 1 , Police Pistol 2, Police Pistol 1500 , NPA service Pistol B ,NRA service pistol A (Browning only)and Practical Pistol all shot between 50 and 10 meters I was also in the RNR and shot for them (Pistol ,SLR and SMG ). I have competed in the last 10 pistol AD meetings at Bisly before pistols were banned. I have owned 9mm ,10mm 38, 357, 44 and 45 calibre pistols and never found any of them inacc

    I started with 55g ppu, good grouping. but now it seams to be all over, done the normal checks scope ect, the remmington accutip groups in the inch but would prefer the pricing of the PPU, i have just ordered 75g ppu to see if that comes back in. What have you decided on? Just remember 75graines are for "tight twisted barrels "........ I use 75grain PPU at long range "they are the dogs"

    All my rifles have Bushnell scopes. Won't go passed them I have a Trophy on my 22 and a few months back it fell of the bonnet of a land rover and the reticl started to move back and fourth with the zoom, sent it back to JJ Vickers along with £20 P&P got a new scope sent back . The scope was over a year old and bought from E-bay. My other rifles have Bushnell 4200's on them and are just superb , for the money Bushnell as the dogs

    I've just got a Asu Utra Northstar .... superb all stainless no cleaning. It's on my 308 and works well. It a wee bit dearer than some but well worth it. At up to 200m there is no diferance in pont of aim with the mod on or off.
  12. Mr Adventure
    Thanks for the info .... but the rifle has been set back to GMK. The problem was not the extractor it was not ejecting the empty case from the breech, the case would just fall on top of the mag. As the rifle was still under warranty I sent it back. So lets see how long it takes to come back? I use factory and reloads in the gun both were doing the same. Cheers
  13. Mr Adventure
    Optilock rings are the same for a Sako and Tikka but the bases are totaly different. Tikka bases are sraight and the Sako are dovetailed. I can assure you that the quality and reliability are superb. I have them on my Tikka and Sako. You can also get rings that do not need bases. just look at the Sako or Tikka web site.

    I have a Tikka T3 varmint 223 and Sako 85 varmint 308. Both are superb but the Sako is way ahead of the Tikka as far as quality. You'll find that the Tikka is a cheeper made Sako. I'm having a wee bit of problems with the Tikka , it won't eject the fired case and it also has a firing pin problem. We'll see how long this takes to get sorted from the dealer and GMK? I realy don't like the way the Tikka ejects the case, it's with a plunger and spring type ejector and a resessesed bolt face, the Sako has a fixed ejector a much better system. Both guns are very accurate both with home loads and
  15. Mr Adventure
    Need some help....... my T3 is having ejection problems it's a 223 . The case is not getting flicked out of the breech. I'm getting a extractor and ejector with the springs sent from GMK. Has anyone striped a T3 bolt? If so is it easy? There looks like only a spring pin that holds the ejector in place, if this is removed will the extractor come out to? This is to save me sending the gun away. Cheers

    My Sako loves Prive Patizan 168g SPBT , they are superb. The problem will be supply ,I'm getting them for £40 per 100 but I know this will not last. The bullet I use for reloading is Sierra Gameking 168g HP BT , again another very good bullet for 308.
  17. Mr Adventure
    Before I contact GMK . I would like some advce about my T3 in 223. The rifle is not ejecting the empty cases very well, the ejector sometimes just lets the case fall on top of the mag. Its was doing this all the time while zeroing on Saturday. I cleaned the bolt but could not see why its started doing this? Any one had this with their T3? Its I dont want to have to send the gun back (its still under warranty). Thanks.......

    Though this might be of use ....... Twist Rates The .223 Rem shoots a wide range of bullets very effectively, from 35gr flat-based varmint bullets, to ultra-long 90gr VLDs. However, you'll need the right twist rate for your choice of bullet. For max velocity and accuracy with the lightest bullets, a 1:14" twist may be ideal. More versatile is a 1:12" twist that will allow you to shoot the popular 60-64 grain match bullets. (However, a 1:9" twist is needed for the steel-core 62gr bullet used in the M855 military loads, because that bullet is as long as most 70-grainers.) For normal lead-c

    You'll get a nice scope for £400 buddy . I use Bushnell , I have a 4200 6-24X50 with target turrets and mildot on my 223 and a 4200 2.5-10x50 on my 308 both 30mm tubes both bought second hand. I would say for hunting forget target turrets (to bulky). Check .....http://www.airgunbbs.com/forums/ sales section and http://www.guntrader.co.uk/EquipmentForSale/. There is a few good scopes for sale on both sites. You may have to join BBS . Or as said Falcon Optics as good http://www.falconoptics.com/menace4.5-18x56.php. All the best

    I have just done a DSC1 and failed it . I failed on deer ecology questions the pass was 40 I got 39 (what a bummer). Anyway thats not my point , I know that experience is everything when it comes to stalking, but of the 6 on the DCS1 no one passed. Out of the 6 only two passed the shooting test(I was one that passed). I was taken back that 3 so called gillie's could not get their rifle's to group 3 round's in a 4" target at 100m they got 3 trys each to do this. Now these guy had shot hundreds of beasts between them. So it kind of blew the experiance hunter thing out the door for me. I

    I've just ordered a Ase Utra NS-3S from my 308. Looked at a T8 but thought they looked very bulky. Plus the NS3 comes in stainless. There is not alot of info on this suppressor so hope i've done the right thing??????
