Re: 6mm-284 vs 243

I wouldn't say that it is the best of the 6mm's mate, but that depends on what exactly you are looking for. Ammo and cases are easy to get and relatively inexpensive, while most of the others can't claim that advantage. Your 6/284 will need case resizing from .284 Win brass (or 6.5/284) which is exp...

Re: scope covers and lens covers

I like the scope coat things for in the safe or travelling, but when hunting I use Butler Creek/Uncle Mikes Bikini scope covers. Bloody great, no dust or moisture at all on the lenses and really easy and quick to get off the scope when a shot presents. Also very quiet.

Re: Ruger No.1a Lightweight Sporter in 303British

Might get mine stamped 7.7x56R when I wear out the barrel and need to put a newie on. Really looking forward to having a play with it and seeing just how far the .303 case can be pushed in a strong action. SAAMI spec for the .303 is only 49000psi - if it can be pushed to the same as the .308 (68000p...

Re: My next varminting rifle

That looks like a sweet bit of gear John. Great combo of chamerings too. I really like those long skinny cases.

Re: Ruger No.1a Lightweight Sporter in 303British

Flip you a coin for who ordered first mate. Did mine through QGE. Hanging out to get it in my hot little hands. Also anxiously awaiting a Zastava in .375 H&H and am in the process of paying for a sweet Miroku B78 (HighWall) in .22/250 from Used Guns. Good thing I made a new years resolution to n...

Re: Leupold Vs 338 Lap

Yeah, it's not looking good, i have to sell a rifle i never took home as I may not get a permit to acquire approved. Apparently anything 30 cal and up is undergoing investigation and further information required with permit to acquire. (a lot of information.) I have just been through all of that an...

Re: automatic powder throwers

More than happy with my Lyman DPS II. Maybe will get the kit to upgrade it to DPS III one day but no hurry to do that.

Re: Conetrol

For Conetrol it is far, far better to ring them direct mate. You will speak with George Miller, the owner of the business - he answers the phone himself. He will ask what rifle/scope combo you are putting together, the model of bases/rings you want and your cc details. For a common rifle you will ha...

Re: Brno ZKW 465 - Mounts ??

Sportsmatch mate. Made in the UK, great gear. You will find what you are looking for under the 'Specifications' button. Imported by Nioa and should be available through your local gunshop - failing that a call to QGE will set you right.

Re: New Cartridge block!

That looks like it will work a treat mate, as well as looking great. I thought your 'old' one was pretty damn good, but the new version is a real step up. Excellent.

Re: Info wanted on Mark Precision Optics.

Have never seen a Mark Precision scope in any gunshop. As far as I am aware 'Mark' is an eBay seller who buys his scopes from Xinde Optical Factory in China. These people specialise in supplying 'Branded' product.
