I was watching Tim work his magic on your gun ,it’s amazing watching him do the work ,he is a total stickler for detail and he can do it with his eyes closed .He just plain makes the thing work right .

That’s the Diamond series with the green turrets , the old-timers say the glass isn’t as good as the old diamond series that had more lenses in the scope ,but it still won the field target worlds .
The nighteater series uses the same glass but has one less Ed glass…Read more

Depends which Nikko you are talking about ,in general ,the glass is good on the more expensive scope models ,clear all ne way .

It is a well known fact in the metal machining world that when you turn down the OD of a tube , the ID increases in that area , I think this is what you are finding as the barrel is formed as a blank , then it is buttoned or bored and taper lapped and then after that is done AF turn down the OD at the breach end causing the ID to swell in…Read more

Good chatting with you at Tim,s yesterday ,
The burst discs are little plates held in with a hollow locking setscrew which you can get in various lengths from here

Just get the length you need
I didn’t want to say to much yesterday ,it would have been out of place .
Hope you understand .

The Brits have been doing the breach volume reduction thing for a while as they have the 12 ft lb rule .They do it by making a top hat with a longer breach insert section ,this does the same thing as moving the barrel back ,and they have found more consistency .
My thoughts are in the line of not only reducing volume ,but also getting…Read more

You got balls bro!
To crown the HW barrels is always a bitch as there is a lot of grabby lead alloyed into the metal .The cuts need to be from the inside out , and need to be very light 0.0005″ at the last cut ,then chuck your brass screw in the hand drill and put a bit of JB bore paste on it ,spin the screw while rotating the drill in a…Read more

On the grub/set screws ,you want to snug the bottom ones first then do the short side ones according to the guys that know .
This first pushes the barrel up in a vertical plain ,then you just nip up the side screws to take hold of the bushings ,not push anything sideways .remember the pellets path of flight , it falls vertically down .

Tim over at Mac1 showed me the scope yesterday ,optics looked pretty good ,build was clean ,but didn’t know about repeatability of adjustment ,just wondered if anybody had played with it .
