Worzel, You say the gun is proofed to 1370 bar?? The proof pressure for superior steel is 1320 bar! Are you sure there's no fleur de lys mark on the proof marks? Can you add a photo? Even at the price you're asking, it's a straightforward job for a competent gunsmith to open out your 3/4 to a...

Just had a quick search and found these links below. I used to have individual insurance through Lycetts but that was a few years ago..... https://treesurgeoninsurance.co.uk/get-quote/ https://arborisk.co.uk/ https://bionic.co.uk/business-insurance/gardeners/...

Try Opticron - The current Discovery WA ED (either 8x42 or 10x42) are cracking for that money - you can get them new direct from Opticron UK for £229 or shop around to see if you can find them second hand. New, they come with a 5yr warranty. I have a pair of Opticron Countryman 10x42 about 20...

I've drilled a 5mm countersunk hole into the stock opposite the hole that's in the underside of the classic adapter, and filled both holes with good old JB to form a solid plug..... lets see how it holds up!

Hi Everyone, I'm trying a Spartan Pro Hunt - mounting to a T3x Super Varmint stock using the classic rifle adapter. Despite it being REALLY tight with the rubber gasket in place, the damn adapter still turns and it's bugging me! Does anyone have this same issue and (more relevant) how has...

In addition to the above, I've also seen good results if you use some of the 'chemical bluing' products around (Birchwood Casey or similar). Degrease and follow the instructions to get the bluing done, then oil/wax on top to protect, per others suggestions?

Frankford Arsenal micro adjustable hand primer - gives you extremely accurate repeatable results and solidly built!

Hi Chris, Have sent you a DM but I can highly, highly recommend Thorroclean!

Does anyone here know of any MX12 stocks that are sat doing nothing? I'm in search of a 'game' stock with 15" LOP (ideally Purdey or Prince of Wales style) but will consider others. Happy to hear from anyone who might have something knocking about.....

Hi Danny, my personal choice is a very sparing amount of moly grease! Apply a tiny amount to the bearing faces of the lugs and work the action lots to get the grease contacting the bearing surfaces inside the action. Then wipe off any excess so it doesn’t attract any unwanted dust etc! I’ve...

I use both N135 and N140 for my .308 loads. For my deer (rather than target rifle) loads, I use N135 with bullets up to 150gr, but my favorites are the 126.5 Yew Trees and N135!

Hi all, I just opened the BASC offer email to see what the Leica Amplus 6 deal was all about, and all the link does is take me to the Leica website. There’s no detail about what the offer actually is? Can anyone shed any light on why the offer email doesn’t actually have the offer details in...

I am selling my ASE Utra Northstar NS-3S .30cal over-barrel moderator threaded M18x1. It has fired 42 rounds from new and is in really good condition. Whilst there are lighter moderators around, this is a fantastic, solid moderator, purchased from another SD member, and now not needed. Due to...

Absolutely 100% agree with this! Donor action with a well-fitted custom/match barrel with appropriate length/twist rate for your chosen discipline and it will drive tacks at 1000 with good bullets! Anyone who says .308 isn’t competitive at long range hasn’t seen good Palma or FTR shooters!
