  1. Im looking at getting a ss evo stock but boyds dont make them for the 452 it seems. Would a 455 stock fit a c452? and if not would there be much work involved in making one fit?
  2. or upgrade to the nighteater 4-16x50 model for the HMR? great bit of kit
  3. Ive a nikko sterling nighteater 30mm 4-16x50 and theres never been a shot I couldn't take with the hmr on it. Can make out animals at over 4-500 yards under the lamp so its suited well over the range of the hmr. about £150 for the non illum version.
  4. I find that the bolt is no issue at all for me, all my shooting is always done off a rest or a bipod so i can fire with my left hand and use my right hand to cycle the bolt and this allows me to get a second shot off faster than a right handed shooter.
  5. hawke endurance 3-12x56 is very good in low light. the eclipse should be just as good if you keep it on 8x or there abouts in very low light, probably not so good in very low light on 16x.
  6. Blackhawk is a cheaper option and the build quality is excellent, just as good as harris. Deben also make a good bipod too. Ive got the 9-13 traverse model. There's a few on Ebay in the UK for sale cheap. I started with a cheap one for €20 on ebay and it lasted 2 years before a leg fell off.
  7. actually a bore snake fits down it quite easily even, I give it a pull through of one maybe every 100 rounds, but I wouldnt consider that proper cleaning.
  8. Hasnt been cleaned properly in 3 years and probably more before me and still shoots perfect with no spread in groups.
  9. I sanded down my shotgun and had it done in no time at al with 1200 wet paper. Took very little effort to get the paint off. You would be better reblueing it or getting it cerekoted which will give a strong long lasting finish. Normal paint even with a lacquer marks very easily.
  10. Ive got the nighteater 30mm 4-16 x50 and its a class bit of kit for the price. It will leave the night eye in the dust. Ive used it along side higher end hawke scopes like the endurance and and its a great piece of kit. Imo 4-16x50 is plenty on the hmr and 6-24x56 would be an awful big scope on it. I looked into a lot of scopes around that price recently when getting a new scope for my hmr and I'm glad with the choice I made, comes with a sunshade and scope caps too.
  11. a .22 might not be an issue but on a hotter round if you fire a lot and the heating of cooling of the barrel/mod thread can stick the threads together and make the mod very difficult to remove.
  12. http://www.tacticalscope.co.uk/nikko-stirling-nighteater-4-16x50-mil-dot-30mm-rifle-scope--flip-up-caps-and-sunshade-1479-p.asp Cant recommend this scope enough. Great value for money, have it on my hmr and wont be getting rid of it.
  13. I had the mossberg maverick t88 and it was a great gun, its light enough considering it is a pump action and i carried it around all day rough shooting and it never bothered me. If fired all cartridges and never had any problems, but then again theres not much to go wrong with them and if it does jam its usually the users fault, you could short pump when getting used to it and the shell could get caught up. I got mine and it was a wreck, i sanded it down and resprayed it a few times. it took dogs abuse and never once gave a problem. I miss it :(
  14. I have one build by an Irish rifle maker, Its only 4.25" x 1.5" It does a great job and you'd hardy notice it on the end of the rifle. I wanted something short to keep the overall length down.
  15. Had a CCI round blow out the end of the case and had gas and dirt hit me in the face and left me with a ring in my ear for the rest of the day the bang off it was so bad.. Use federals now and find them the most accurate in my rifle.
  16. Into what ever kind of hardware shops ye have there and black BBQ spray will have it looking like new, Cheap, tough and heat resistant.
  17. Got my first fox the weekend with the 501b and the DX lens with the hmr at about 60 yards. He didnt even look up once at the red light and continued eating away.
  18. Im a lefty and shoot a right handed hmr, TBH I very rarely fire from standing without a support under the gun so its more of an advantage for me to have a right handed rifle as long as its not thumbhole. A left handed person can fire a right handed rifle faster than a right handed person off a bipod or a good rest. I can keep my right hand close to the bolt and cycle for follow up shots if theyre needed without taking my hand away from the trigger. If you need to fire standing shots well just do it live mentioned in saving private ryan. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XY61XmDJ-1w
  19. Nikko sterling Nighteater 30mm 4-16x50 Absolutely fantastic value for money.
  20. I went out last night when it had gotten a bit clearer out and seemed to be darker and i could see a lot better with it. will have to properly field test it tonight.
  21. You can add baffles to the maxum to make it quieter again, they just screw onto the end each time. 4 should be plenty on the .223
  22. Sprayed it black before testing it anyway. weathers bad so was shining it into the field out the back. Dont think you'd get 100 yards out of it or even much past 50 by the looks of things? It seems to be a very dark colour red if that makes sense.
  23. I dont use my pocket because its easy for them to fall out of it and a pouch is easier to keep them together, just throw the pouch in the safe when i get home. I use a neoprene mp3 player pouch that I found lying around that zips closed, the colour is handy to find if i ever drop it anywhere.
