    Hi for stocks it has to be Mountain tactical , Grs or tier one , the only people that can sort the price out is you and your mate , for me the history of the gun which you have is worth a lot and no matter what price you pay they will be another one come up for sale cheaper in the space of a month but without the history

    Hi if I remember correctly it could be the bolt shroud slightly out of spec , just have a go without the shroud fitted

    Hi are the shells ejecting and bouncing on the floor, if not it will be what young Eric has said , I always pull the bolt back slowly and catch the shell has it comes out , but that's off a bench or the floor ,

    Tikka Shooters Forum favicon icon 296 Bullseyes

    Hi you should fit the scope so it's nice and comfortable to shoot not just anywhere , so if that the position you want it , ether higher rings , or if you really like them rings get the back of the rail milled down, or see if you can get the screw replace with one with a different head that will fit more snug

    First I'd check if I have the correct patches, or buy some more preferable another make , then make sure you are only using one at a time and that there not sticking together , then measure the rod and check / contact the manufacturer as mistake happen

    Had the same problem with some sako brass , turned out the primer pocket wasn't allowing the primer to seat all the way down , leaving the primer slightly proud, I reamed the pockets out and now it all works fine

    December 15, 2015 at 4:48 pm in reply to: CTR Scope Rail Removal…
    Tikka Shooters Forum favicon icon 296 Bullseyes

    Thanks for the step by step instructions. Other than those who want a 20 moa rail, is there any reason to replace the oem rail?

    Hi one main reason is returning to zero when you take the scope and rings off , a quality rail give you a better chance, as a quality rail is machined to tighter tolerances as factory ones are made with time/ cost restrains

    Hi the kahles is an excellent scope , minox have all the mechanics sorted I have one of the first off the production line , it's all down to personal choice and whichever you choose will be a top scope, I'm glad there's somebody else on here that likes the scopes that I'm interested in , for hunting have you checked out the Ziess V8 ,  there's better scopes for targets all there mentioned in this post in fact , but better for hunting, but it's your money and as long as you are happy that's all that matters ????

    Hi pm11 is a great scope it used to be the top of the tree , I have a new minox zp5 and the glass is just as good as a pm11 and a a wider field of view I've compared them side by side and the zp5 is clearly better and for 2/3 of the price , might be worth a look, also great stock

    Have a look at Steinert Neopod, very lightweight, made out of polymer but very strong, I used one on a M12 and was well impressed, but they are expensive, but for a light weight hunting bipod imho there the way to go and you can take it of in 5 seconds and store it in your pocket, it goes back on just has quickly,  if it's a little too expensive have a look at the atlas V8 just got one my self for shooting steel at 1000 yards + and are impressed with the quality
