Developing the discussion, what if the the scope has variable zoom?

Say a 3-9×40 scope. When one goes from 3x to 9x magnification, the MilDot reticle size doesn’t change whereas the picture changes 3-fold, meaning all size corrections vary as well, correct?

Yes, I have read about SFL and…Read more

As expected, it gets heavier and bigger around as Doug said (but that´s not an issue, since the ETac is angled down). The reg. is adjusted at 2200 PSI, performing almost 100 regulated shots.

The metal grips are parts of an iron pipe serrated in half with welded plates on both sides. The parts are joined and screwed together. Then, the set is secured in a vise.

Use an appropriate tool or ask a machinist to make one.

Comes out very easy (no need of heat and without risk of damaging the valve).
