  3. Guys got a wildcat moderator for my tikka a couple of weeks back, but didnt have the rifle with me at the time. So the dealer asked me to ring through my barrel outer diameter so they could cut the right diameter collar to fit... This is done and now have the collar fitted. My question is: My barrel outer diameter is 17.5mm (measured with a vernier at the correct point) and the collar has come with a 21mm bore, leaving a big gap, is this correct? I thought the idea was it fitted snuggley inorder to help take the flex out of all that weight hanging off the end of your barrelan

  5. thanks for the help guys. picked up a couple of boxes of cheap privi 100grn whilst picking up the gun as they had them in stock.... will give them a go zeroing etc this weekend and take it from there! reloading is an intention in the future, just want to get to a point where i know thats whats holding me back (if i can ever get that good?!?) and know that i'm confident to take the plunge. fortunatly there is a guy here local who has a rep for being a bit of a demon loader so will be plying him with plenty of tea and biscuits to unlock his secrets shortly!!!
  6. Guys, As per title. Can I please ask your advice... Pick up my M595 on tuesday and would like to find a starting point to experiment with ammo and save some money on tricks already tried! will mainly be for deer, Roe in particular, with the odd fox. The stipulation is that it must be 100grn heads or more to conform to both England and Scottish deer laws. So please post the manufactures and types found to hold the best attributes for your Tikka M595'. did a quick search but couldn't see this posted before, but appologies if it has... Chris

  14. yeah leak over the top (which your always going to get unless you and your boots are 30ft tall..lol), but then because the goretex is wet from the inside i find they just don't dry out to my liking, especially when i've got to live in them for prolonged periods of time with no means other than body heat to dry them out.. but if you want to make use of them, then fill yer boots (pardon the pun, couldn't resist at this late hour!) they are currently in my sisters loft in someset, on the dorset border, so pick up might be a good option? (shes home on maternity at the mo to) just check
