Re: Swaro scope?

Thanks for your help mate. I just dropped them off and picked up a bushnell 3500 to get me out of trouble next week. Horsley park were really helpful. He said he was going to ring the rep now so I'm not sure if i should give them a call as well. He also said he hadnt had any z3s back so either im im...

Re: Swaro scope?

Thanks guys. The bloke I spoke to at Horlsey Park yesterday was extremely helpful. I'm taking them both back this morning to get them have a look and send them off. I'll still call the distributor a though just to discuss the procedure etc. I couldn't find a number for them so if you could pm me som...

Re: Swaro scope?

Yep.. these are both farked. The crosshairs are moving all over the place. When I swapped them over i had some good groups so i guess it took a few shots on the 308 before they went. Now i gotta buy and fit a new scope before the end of next week. Cry once aye.. didnt work this time round. Just one ...

Re: Swaro scope?

Does it sound gritty when you wind it all the way back by any chance mate?

Re: Swaro scope?

Thanks mate. Both mine move off target a good inch at 100m. I'm taking them back to the store tomorrow. Not sure whats going on there. I have mine wound about half way in and you can see the movement quite obviously. A few of the guys at the fly shoot were a bit surprised when they saw it.

Re: Swaro scope?

Thanks mate but i cant adjust the paralax on my models. The croshairs actually move off target when the ocular moves but its not paralax if that makes sense. Happens on both of my z3s which is wierd but im thinking it might explain a few accuracy problems especially on the heavier recoiling loads.

Re: Swaro scope?

On both mine the quick focus ocular wiggles a fair bit. I can see the crosshairs move if any pressure is applied. Being a quick focus there's no locking ring etc. Does yours happen to do that mate?

Re: Projectile swap meet

Hey Mick I could have brought some 60gr pills with me! I have some 60gr Vmax if you want some. There's some 60gr Nosler BTs as well somewhere. The Vmax will be fine in a 1-12 but ive heard the Noslers need a faster twist. Is it a 223? not sure if you mentioned that or not.

Re: Trailboss .308 loads

Sure am mate. Last spoke to mark a couple weeks ago and sent him that pic. He was going to ring me but nothing as yet. Unfortunately from what i hear thats about the norm. They'd probably work fine on goats if you pick your shots. Ive shot a few with 40gr noslers from the 222. They should hold toget...
