I got the 4-16×50 with half mil dot for $290, shipped. the price was the no brainer part. Not sure I can find a tactical anywhere close to this price. I thought about the higher magnification but even though there are times a 20x or 24 x would be great most times I cant hold still enough to use that…Read more

Many PCPs need clearance for magazines or manual loading. Have you worked with the ATP61 or 66. Do you have any concern that they might get knocked out of adjustment by bumps and such? Trying to figure out if my concern is real or out of control engineering imagination.

But guys don’t forget this is of NO use (centering the scope) when you don’t use adjustable mounts afterwards…]

Now that you mention it, I have been itching to get a set of the burris premium rings…

I saw Teds review and that one looked pretty heavy, but also seen a photo of a much more compact version using a bottle. I suspect that Tim will build it anyway you want.

here is the link to the article. I took another look. Not only does it say hammer forged barrels tends to constrict bore diameter when machined, it also says button rifled barrels expand the bore. The residual stress in the metal does strange things.

This means this constriction was either the result of a machining problem or was…Read more

I see in the photo that you have your laser in about the same position I do. Mine may be a bit further from the barrel due to the 11mm – weaver adapter I need to use.

Do you have an ETAC or ETAC / regulator? I am thinking about giving a etac/ regulator a try.
