Thanks.Takbok, that looks great.

Thanks all, great suggestions.

I already have a set of those in Medium on the rifle, but they are a tad high when combined with my rail. I like them not just for the adjustability but also because they don’t damage scope tubes. I have a set of regular Burris Zee steel mounts which should be about perfect height, and once...

Thanks all. I like the idea of finding a cheap way of lapping the rings by using an offcut bar, but locally it's a no go. I could buy some online, but then I'd still need to attach a handle of some kind to use it as looking at lapping videos online, it looks a fair amount of effort to get the...

Have tried 3 local engineering firms and they either cannot help or want more than the cost of a retail lapping kit. I'm hoping to find one here. Fingers crossed!

I'm after 1" scope lapping bar to smooth out a set of 1" Burris Zee rings. I'd rather not buy new for a tool that I'll use the once, so looking for a used one to either buy or borrow for the job. I'm happy to pay for rental.

Thanks Geoff, I may well take you up on your kind offer. I have just ordered am Optika5 2-10x42 PA Zplus that I plan to use for ratting with a Ward add on. If it doesn't suit then I will upgrade to the Optika6 2.5-15x44 and was undecided between the Dichro and illuminated BDC reticles. Whichever...

Hi Geoff, a bit of an old thread resurrection here, but why would you now go for IR instead of the Dichro reticle? I ask as I'm considering both and cannot see before I buy. Thanks.

I have Michelin Cross Climate all season tyres on my Allroad which are lasting well and giving good, if not exceptional, grip on all surfaces. I have a mild remap to just over 300bhp, and the car is reasonably rapid, but it's no sports car. It's quietly competent on all fronts, and noticeably...

I have a 2012 A6 Allroad 3.0 and can get it to 49mpg on motorways at 60mph. Low 40s mpg at more realistic speeds, and high 30s on average with mixed relaxed driving. Spirited and round town driving drops the mpg significantly. Do beware though that the boot is TINY for such a large car as it has...

I decided to go for a Contessa rail in the end as I wanted a touch more scope height. I had already ordered a DIP rail from the States which has just arrived. It's new and boxed and cost £60 and two weeks wait. Anyone fancy it for £50?

Leupold EFR 3-9x33 comes down to about 5 yards and I use mine for ratting successfully with a Ward 800S.

Thanks all again. That Contessa is great and just what I'm after really. I prefer steel, and the side mounting with the locking stud seems more secure to me. It's not for sale is it? I have Contessa rails on my T3s and they have been spot on.

Thanks all for replies. I currently use Sportsmatch mounts on my 527 but they leave the scope optically zeroed about 14MOA low, which is near the edge of the adjustment range of my particular scope, and I suspect tracking and zero retention performance are diminished. I usually use pic rails on...
