    Don't buy the Primos unless u want to replace them again in 18 mths. Great sticks agreed. Mine have seized up, another family members also seized up too. There are no seals inside the legs to prevent water, condensation, snow and ice from getting in tried to repair to no avail seized again

    Yep its the glass ur paying for my 6.5x47Lapua has an IOR 5.8-40x56 with Schott glass....you certainly notice the difference when you chop and change between glass on different rifles.

    Many cheap scopes don't like bright sunlight on high magnification". I have MTC 4-16 and 2x MTC 6-24's, 6-24's not so good on a sunny day against white targets on high magnification....Quality secondhand would be a better recommendation from me...If you dont like the scope than you can always flog it an get what you paid back too...Unlike new cheap ones.

    If you want a quality scope that will last for years at an affordable price for quality glass scopes check out the Meopta range...

    I use a James Cleaner, same 480 second cycle about 3 or 4 times, I use cold water with Ecover washing up liquid and a touch of James Sea Clean. I use cold water because it heats up through the cycle use and if you start with luke warm water it ends up hot which stains the brass. On completing the wash cycle I then bung the load into a solution of Ecover dishwasher rinse aid to remove any contaminants and towel dry the outsides To dry internally I leave them either on the radiator overnight when on or into the fan oven on 130 deg c for 15mins and then air cool seems to work for me

    Browsing the internet this morning and found this....Be Aware!!! http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2014/12/robert-farago/breaking-remington-agrees-to-replace-triggers-in-all-model-700-rifles/ Could this break Remington?

    That's what I have heard, my mate had his 223 done and say's the same,i hope he is wrong trouble is you cant sell the bloody thing without the work done on it,although I hope I don't have to. I am that person and the trigger was bl**dy awfull. All of my postage costs were paid by Remington but my rifle was still in its 12mths warranty period. Oh and I waited 5 months for mine to be replaced. I have had a Jewell trigger, which is still on backorder since April (when i first got wind of the recall). The trigger which Remington replaced not repaired was so bad....it was heavy with

    Try Gardners Guns, Nr Longtown Cumbria, they got plenty 220 Swift they cant shift.... U could probably make them an offer they have had it that long....

    Buy...lots of manuals, MTM storage boxes for loaded ammo, oh and a large notebook to keep track of what your doing for future reference.

    Lee Modern Reloading quotes a N140 Jacketed bullet, 55gn @ 24.7 start (3051) to 26.8 (compressed)(3343), hope this helps
  13. chocky14u
    My fave at the moment is 52gn Matchking, 23.3gn VV N133

    Check out his other vid's especially the stalking ones....there is a purpose to what he is doing...plus its his job, long range tuition. although I agree checking apps can be a pain ITA.

    Triggers coming into the country in dribs and drabs, mine just been changed was told only 30 triggers available for fitting in the last batch.... not impressed with new trigger either seems majority of adjustment has been removed from the replacement, pity as ive had a Jewell on order since April too when i got wind of the recall.

    Hey guys found this on the tube from THLR.... shows what one can do if your brave enough!!! http://youtu.be/aHVvPxgGR3A?list=UUmKvQfvjqbUakUotekAyxew

    Buy a Wheeler FAT torque screwdriver...take the guesswork away over screw tension on mounts and action fixings.
  18. chocky14u
    All well and good banning as long as the gun falls part of the recall, older triggers don't, others may have had replacement triggers fitted as Darren is contemplating, mine is getting replaced too....with a Jewell. All i can say is if you are thinking of replacing your trigger- do it sooner rather than later as there are potentially millions of these guns out there and there are only so many triggers available and most will probably end up on the US market first....dont miss out.

    In the States the reported turnaround is 14 to 16 weeks from chatter....Not Good. Riflecraft Ltd could not give me a turnaround estimate either.

    aup mate ive got 21 sako and ive just found 30 norma. 25 of them are already primed cheers thats a shame mate you cant post primed brass. you would have to decap them. let me no how much you want for the norma and sako just soak the primers in oil before trying to remove them...should prevent an explosion.

    Somebody i know posted their renewal in february 2010, field officer came to view in july 2010, Northumbria too!! Guns have had to be in storage too at a local RFD even more expense.

    Unfortunately Win Subs are the only ones i can get at the mo but problem is my 10/22 hates them fails to load properly because of the muck that is generated upon firing them. Unfortunately didnt know that before buying 500 so gonna have to get rid and hope the cci stuff comes in sooner rather than later. Federal ammo and speer bullets are in short supply in my area at the moment too.
  23. chocky14u
    Are dealers able to supply the ammo that you want? My local dealers are struggling to get anything from Gunmark; CCI Subs non existent at the moment....why do we have to put up with second best service from an importer? Surely this is the time of year that most 22rf bullets are sold in this country with the bunny explosion. Unfortunately due to licensing reluctance of police forces, many of us shooters cant order many thousand's of rounds so we rely on a regular supply of stock to our local gunshops. Do importers on the scale of Gunmark not make seasonal order plans? Imagine

    The thing to remember is the weight of the gun that you are using because heavier the gun and the longer the bipod legs the more flex you will have and wider the distance between the legs too. I agree with a previous post that at this time of year the ground cover can make a bipod useless. I use a Harris 9-13 swivel and i just take mine off during the summer months and resort to stick's.

    I am like you and are looking for a .308 or a 6.5x55. The choice i have found is vast for the .308 but less for the 6.5x55. For the price of the Finnish variants these days you are heading into Steyr Mannlicher territory. I Shot a SSG69 P11 the other day and having never fired the gun before obtained a 3 shot 3/4 inch group with factory 150gr Federals at 100yds. I know which brand i will be looking towards when i get my variation.
