Now that really is a top tip, always a Tesco on the way home!! John

As already said, ear plugs will only protect your hearing to a certain Db level, after that the bones in your inner ear vibrate causing inner ear damage. Some hearing experts suggest the use of ear plugs & Ear muffs for prolonged exposure. I know where you are coming from, I hate any form...

It's easy to sort mounts out but you have little option but to get rid of the original P/H bases and fit a set of weaver. After that you can use any weaver mounts. In fact I have a set of Warne 30mm here. The very first job is to scrap the P/H bases!! Then do a search, replacment bases are...

I would have thought that the easiest thing to do is ask them to re-assess the lands suitability for .243". Walk the land with the FEO on their visit. My understanding is that land suitability can not be based on the use of high seats. Well thats the case in my force area due to one chap having...

Hi have both here, but on my SPS I have a 6x42, on my Steyr I have an 8x56. I would say the 8x56 would fit on my SPS tac (also has a rail) using Med mounts, if you get stuck I have an almost brand new set of Warne 30mm mounts that I took off my SPS to fit the 1" tubed 6x42. O_R

Thanks for the info, I'll call them tomorrow!! John

I have a mint original example on my .22rf and to be honest it's as good as a S&B 6x42. Another good one was the Tasco Euroclass. O_R

I have one on top of my .243, a mate has one on his .308. I have had no problems at all with the scope (10 years). Optics wise, the 6-18x50 (£250 scope if money talks) just loses at dusk when compared to my S&B 6x42 (£700 scope). So in short, as long as it's not a copy of which there are plenty...

Is it a large ring or a small ring? What ring? O_R

+ 1 for KG1 ( & KG12) O_R

The Lee " Autoprime " is a great, easy to use bit of kit and at around £16 new, just buy one :) O_R
