Benthejockey Posted September 27, 2016 Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 Evening boys and girls, I want to whack my Yukon photon on the old 243 so I can knock over a lamp shy fox I've acquired. Problem is the gap between bases is too big to fit the Yukon as it sits at the minute. So I thought a rail. But just cycling the bolt with an empty case and the ruler over the top as a rail makes me think the empties won't eject properly. So I need some help! It's the 6.5x50 Yukon. I did however chuck it on my 17 so I can have a play with it until I get the 243 sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benthejockey Posted September 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 The pink ruler is a specialist add on! It's a tidy old has cf2 It's flattened many a fox and a few deer. It's so unfussy about bullets that I could probably load up some pebbles and it would still be accurate. It behaves itself better with the mod and bipod than it did without them, it was a bit jumpy and very boomy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nagantino Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 It's better if you share the answer rather than pm. It's what the forum is for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt1980 Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 Had a rail on a Howa I used to have and the rail is cut out one side to allow the cartridge to eject. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1steele Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 It's better if you share the answer rather than pm. It's what the forum is for. It was to send a photo as I can no longer post photos on the forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benthejockey Posted September 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 So the next question is where do I find 17mm dovetail reach forward/backward 30mm mounts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshwarrior Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 BSA CF2 uses Remington 700 long action bases. So you need a 2 piece bade and reach forward mounts or extended bases Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billytheghillie Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 I had to buy a rail for my cz452 to mount photon, I got it from alan rhone, surplus to requirements now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
