My local gun smith fitted the moderator for me

I didnt really question it at the time.

Its fairly effective only drawback is it makes the barell a bit longer and more awkward to get around.

He should know better :rolleyes:

SAK or JETZ are recommended for 17 hmr and or 22 wmr and even 22lr

SAK is shortish and very light. JETZ is about same length as parker hale and a fraction heavier.

SAK is best overall IMO

Got the harris bipod from Ebay - England €90

Its border line minium for shooting in a crouched position.

Probably be ok if u were'nt 6ft 4''

Suprisingly light - worth every penney

spideog7 · 29-02-2008 3:05pm

Just bought one on Ebay US for $100 (€65), God bless the ****ty dollar

I found I need a fairly high one for shooting prone and I'd like to be able to try sit/kneel with it, I'm 6ft so hopefully it'll do.

Nothing wrong with €65

Ask the seller to print 'used goods' on the packet

ive heard people having to pay tax for goods coming in.

From what i gather there is no tax on used goods .

I think used goods are taxable as well.

The duty rate on a bipod is 2.7% (TARIC code 9305290000) so the €65 will become €80.77 after duty and VAT are applied.

It's being re-routed through a third party in the lower 48, meaning it's a wonderful gift from them and they pick up the international shipping charges

(.243, Tikka & JohnGalway, they are fine looking rifles there)...

Quite true - a friend has one.

I've a Benelli which has never jammed once - has fired about 4,500 cartridges so far!

Bettinsoli Diamond Sporter 28" Price 825 Euros New.

This is my latest purchase. Comes in a slimline hard case with a choke key
and 5 chokes. Its been proofed for steel shot and says so on the Barrel.
It also comes with an additional rubber butt plate if the stock is too short.

Bettinsolis are a bit a mystery to me. There is very little information out
there on them, I've only managed to read 2-3 articles about the factory.

Also I have seen several different variants of the same gun.
Some have different engravings some have gold triggers some have a different design around the hinge part of the action.

The wood is a little lifeless and plain. The foregrip/handguard is solid
and feels more sturdy than others makes that I have held.
The checkering in these feels rather deep and provides excellent grip.

At the end of the rib nearest the chamber its beveled so there is no sharp
edge to it which I thought was a nice touch.

After firing 200 shots through it I found my thumb was a little tender,
I think this was from using the safety leaver which was a little rough and

The chokes apparently were re-designed to be thin wall? so they would be
better suited for firing steel shot so there is no bulge at the end of the
barrels.

Looks tasty, nice bit of kit.

bunny shooter · 30-03-2008 4:12pm

Bullets,

Looks lovely, well ware

mallards · 30-03-2008 4:14pm

I have a Bettinsoli diamond as well bullets. I like the gun and found it to be trustworthy so far. I think you get quite a bit for your money. The wood on mine seems to have more of a pattern to it, don't know why??
I bought mine new from Donal McCloy in Toomebridge, Co.Antrim.

Nice pieces lads, makes my little 870 look so crude.:rolleyes:

Jonty · 30-03-2008 6:32pm

Makes my old SBS Baikal look a bit "agricultural" too.

José Alaninho · 31-03-2008 4:19pm

Out of interest Bullets, what type camera did you use to take those pics? They're dead sharp.

Minolta Dimage thats years old 3mega pixel. Its grand for normal pics
with good light and has a nice 10x optical zoom but crap for poor light

I actually have a new camera a Cannon Power Shot S5IS 8mp currently in the post
I was eyeing it up for the last year and its now only 275 Euros!
(I still prefer the film of my cannon A1 SLR but have not used it in years and its got lens rot)

Mellor · 31-03-2008 4:53pm

When I opened the pics I got the camera name too.
A Minolta DiMAGE Z1 right.

The A1 is good, SLRs really are better, but the power shot and similar are better all-rounders

Hi,

I found the stock to be short in mine (6' 1'' tall) , even using all the shims. But I seem to have long arms as most jacket sleeves seem to be short for me even though the jacket fits!

I removed the butt plate and replaced it with a clay recoil pad - a very deep one - that gave me an extra inch in length. It now fits perfect and I'm very happy with it.

The reason I went for Benelli is they do a left handed version - no too many other do. I found the Rem. 1100 & 1187 to be on the heavy, bulky side whereas the Benelli is narrow & light like an O/U.

probably cheaper than the route i went it cost me 120 euro to get a shim and new bolt made for the stock and then i bought the largest but pad but it works like a dream so im happy

Went to the funstore today. Put the M17S up for adoption. Came home with this.

SIG 556. First, iron sights up, stock collapsed.

Stock extended, EOTech mounted.

The Eotech was purchased for Iraq duty several years ago, hence it's a little beat up. Still works fine, though.

Trigger pull is extremely smooth. Takedown process requires a tool of some sort, a knife or screwdriver to push in a pin is required to get at the gas piston. Unlike most rifles I've played with, the action is not pushed forward by a spring behind the bolt. Instead, the gas piston spring is used to pull the action forward: Piston and bolt basically become one enitity, held together by the cocking handle. Can't say I've ever seen anything like that before.

NTM

Sweet!
I entertain notions of one day owning either one of these or a high end AR-15 of some sort. Or ideally, both. :rolleyes:

Anyway, congratulations on your purchase, and I'd love to hear your thoughts on it after you've used it for a while.

Just wondering where'd you get the camo tape from?

I picked it up in the states Jose, im nearly sure ICOA had some at some stage. It might be worth giving them a ring and see do they have any in stock.. If not try Big Bass pro shop or cabelas..Its pretty cheap around 5 dollars a roll
