    While you're reaming the primer pocket you could deburr the flash hole on the inside but you'll need to buy a tool to do it , I ream the primer pocket and deburr the flash hole on all my brass before I use it

    Hi imo only go for the thin barrel if you're hunting and carrying it , otherwise go for the varmint as it will let you get more bullets down range quicker

    Tikka Shooters Forum favicon icon 296 Bullseyes

    Hi take dogs advice, the only thing I can add is make sure you can get the powder all the time , it's no good getting a great load sorted then you can't get anymore powder , that why for me is viht powder because it's always available here in England, unlike some of the American powder that can be out of stock over here for months sometimes over a year

    Check out the ZA range, there the cheaper ones but still a great scope , at the weekend I could quarter my 1 moa target at 100 meters better with one of these on 18 power than my nightforce on 22
    Also if some of you a wondering I have no connection with Minox or any other scope manufacturers

    Hi at the club I go to its mainly new members firing the clubs guns that use privvy, also used by people who just want to make some noise and not bothered about grouping , but saying that I've see them shoot sub 1 moa in some rifle but that's very rare,

    I thought my nightforce was great then I started shooting with ' European ' scopes and there is a marked improvement especially with the Minox , don't get me wrong the nightforce is a great scope , but it also about individual budgets , I got my nightforce and my Minox Zp 5 discounted by 40% on retail
      Also I was perfectly happy with the nightforce , Then I used a European scope , if you have no problems with the scope you have just carry on with it , just resist looking through a Minox you will want one
