Love to know how ye guys get those nice pictures through your scopes. I always make a balls of it, and all you see is a black ring.

That's a goof point actually, anyone have an attachment for their phone or is the field of view and eye relief on the scope just really, really good?

Not sure if i posted this on this thread, but was clearing up some files on my computer and came across this old photo from about 7 years ago. Still have one of two of them. Wouldn't mind having all of them back again.

They are:

Sig Sauer SSG 205 in 6.5x55 with NF scope
Sako TRG in 308 with NF scope
Anschutz 1710D in .22lr with Tasco scope
Anschutz MPR in .22lr with Swift Premier scope
Beretta 682 Gold E Sporter in 12g
Beretta 686 Gold E in 12g
Sig Sauer P226 in 9mm

That 682 Gold E sporter, drooooool

If a lad was looking for a TRG bi-pod does anyone know where he'd look?

ejg · 12-08-2017 8:25am

Now that I found a replacement for photobucket.... a few recent rifles/stocks.

T3 Lite in Multipurpose Carbon stock.

Carbon fibre E-Tac4 CTR 308 stainless with 3-20x50 PMII Ultra short

Prototype experiment of a possible new sporter stock. Handles very nice, just testing if we need to tweak anything. Cheek raiser and position taken over from an E-Tac4 stock design. T3 Lite.

You can buy from Sako, Beretta, and a few other places. They're not actually hard to get but for me then and even now there is no way i'd hand out over €450 ($500) for a bipod. The Harris on the TRG done the job perfectly and was a fifth of the price.

I know it sounds odd whinging over the bipod price when the rifle, rings, rail and scope cost over €6,000 but there is buying good quality stuff and then there is buying over priced stuff just to have it. I'm for the former, not the latter.

PSXDupe · 12-10-2017 2:06pm

After what seems like a lifetime, well 8 months, S&W Victory finally arrived. Getting firearms
out of the USA seems to be getting more and more difficult these days.

Got it home and installed the following bits and pieces

Volquartsen Picatinny Scope Rail
Volquartsen Edge Extractor
Volquartsen iFluted SS Barrel with Compensator
Tandemkross Victory Trigger
Tandemkross Upgraded Mag Disconnect
Tandemkross Extended Mag Release
Tandemkross Extended Mag Base Pads
Tandemkross Halo Charging Ring
Altamount Walnut Grips

And finally stuck a Vortex Vemon Red Dot on top, ready to hit the range at the weekend.

Happy bunny

Very nice

Did you import all the parts as well or get them elsewhere?
Cheers

PSXDupe · 13-10-2017 4:46pm

Bought the pistol from a dealer here and source the parts for a couple of places.

Manic Moran · 24-11-2017 2:54am

Gorgeous rifle

I've only ever shot .22 here, 9mm pistol and .223 in the states. What's the recoil like on a 6.5? Living in Meath I'm too far from midlands to justify the membership and cost of a big rifle for very occaisonal trips down

A bit more than a .223, bit less than a .308. Very manageable though. If you can happily shoot a .223, you'll be grand with the 6.5 CM. I've never shot a 6.5 Swede though, so can't comment on them. Fairly popular round here. There are quite a few 6.5 calibers. Each with their own characteristics.

One lad in Midlands gave me a few shots off his 7mm Rem Mag. It was a light enough hunting rig as well. That gave me a fair thump in the shoulder.

Very nice! Did you notice much in the way of accuracy improvement?
How do you find the scs buttstock? I wanted that one but thought once I get setup I probably won't use most of the adjustments so the scs lite would be better for me.

I've not had much in the was of practice with the new chassis but the little that i did found it quite comfortable and bang on.

The Martini was used in a recent rebellion so has that !!!

I'm envious, and have been looking at .303 Martini's for sale in the UK and further afield over the past few night. I love single shots. There seems to have been a massive cache of military rifles of all kinds sold off out of Somalia. Of course the vast bulk of them have gone to the States.

I recently received the same rifle. How do you tell what thread size the barrel is?

Mine was printed on the box, I think most are 1/2 x 20.

One option is to bring it to a dealer and they will be able to tell you.

Collected my new CZ 457 LRP this week. And I have a new Elements Helix 6-24x50mm to go on top. Don't know when I'll get out to shoot it, but the back field will do to get it zeroed in.

The main reason for getting the LRP over the MTR was the stock. And the difference in price, + €300.
And I sold the wifes other liver and bought the Eliments Helix 6-24x50mm scope.

Stupid question........but if it was once fully auto, are you allowed to get it converted to straight-pull? I thought recent enough EU law stopped that carry on.

Haha, 7.62x54R isn't too bad honestly, cheaper than 308 by a bit, and the surplus stuff is cheaper by a good chunk.

Problem would be supply since it is an oddball by Irish standards.

Remember being in a gunshop in Czech and seeing a box of 500 7.62x54R for €160!

Now x39 was cheaper but for fullsize rifle ammo it'd be hard to find cheaper than .32 cents a round.

tudderone · 23-04-2021 4:18pm

I always fancied a Sako made Mosin Nagant in 7.62x54r. Doubt there are many sitting on dealers shelves gathering dust though. The x39 ? The ammo is dirt cheap and people like CZ do nice little bolt actions in that calibre, think Ruger do too. Be a great centrefire plinker.

Or an SKS converted to straight pull as non restricted!

Not so much, you'd need to either import it yourself or get a dealer to do it.

It is dirt cheap but sourcing would be the issue.
