    Greetings Eamonn, I suspect that your head may be spinning like a top by now. The first thing to remember is that if you persist with this hunting and shooting thing (and I suspect that you might)...

    kristopher liked post by grandpamac On thread : Old scope for .303
    Greetings, First make sure that the scope base is well fixed to the action. You may want to take it of, clean everything and Loctite it all in place. If you have rings ensure that they fit the base....

    kristopher liked post by grandpamac On thread : 26mm Rings?
    Greetings, Finding old rings for 26mm scopes can be a minefield. Often they are for Parker Hale bases which varied in width over time. I have one set of rings that have been reamed out by someone...

    Greetings, Something that slipped my mind was that I had shot some test loads in my .308 with the 125 grain Speer TNT projectiles a couple of years back. The test was to determine the relative...
