No probs Trevor
No saying their not a good scope, but ever since I've used the zeiss and kahles, I'm looking to move all of the leupolds on.
Good luck with it.

I picked up a 8.5-25x50 a while ago on here for my PPC when its done but i have only looked through it once and it seemed fine. I do like the clarity of a Zeiss but the travel in them is usually terrible, not an issue for a varmint calibre but for long range its bad.

I agree with Trev, it does look better in the flesh and the cerakote came up really well. Im not sure what the colour swatch looked like so i cant comment on that but they are never the same.

Cheers Knackers. I think :)

I gave up at 33.

All chambered. Lets see what happens with pills in them.

If you remember Camel's post about the flare round a case mouth after necking down, well its pretty pronounced on these cases. May be enough to cause chambering difficulty with a pill in.

I guess I will find out!

Trevort Nice rifle

Can I ask why you went with the 22x47 ?

A 22-250 would do the same job and you can buy factory ammo as I have seen lot of it in the gun shops I have been too.

Apparently there is a design flaw with a 22-250, it uses the wrong size primers :roll:

Well looks like this concentricity thing was a furphy . Simply the dummy case OAL was just too long. You could force the bolt shut then knock the jammed pill out with a cleaning rod..

Seat them down until you can chamber and extract without leaving the pill in the lands and they feed and chamber and extract perfectly

6.5x47 cases use small primers
