garyb Posted September 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 (edited) Spoken to the shop.. Been advised they suspect a faulty mod - so i'm to pop in at the weekend with the full setup and targets which show the key holeing...

pin Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 Funny thing with this one gary, is that I put 5 shots same height but with 2" lateral difference @100yds at bisley when it was blustery. Given that I'd say something has gone awry since then, it was shooting fine that day... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garyb Posted September 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 It's a 5/8F thread on the T8 Scout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyb Posted September 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 All that's written on the mod is... BR T8 5/8F .30 0408 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyb Posted September 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 (edited) Would you expect a .30cal for 223 though ?! I've just had Stealth Stalker check his T8 for his .243, and although it's not a T8 scout - his is .25 ?

the pelt man Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 Gary I'd say the problem lies with the mod more than the screw cut on the Gun, as Pin say's he had good grouping when he shot it. Best bet is to get Joe to change the Mod but make sure he gives you a new back bush. I'd phone him again and remind him that its a heavy barrel so that he can get a bush cut to the right size and ready for when you go to the shop.

garyb Posted September 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 I guess it would make sense of the cold gun 1 shot flyer idea pelty... It does seem to be heat related... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyb Posted September 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 Well... gun is back with the shop. They are going to order a new mod, and then give it a good test until their happy it's shooting straight again :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyb Posted October 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 Update.. The shop have finaly had the gun back from the gunsmith. Word on the street is that they can find no evidence of the round clipping the mod... One theory is that the barrel is a 1 in 11 twist, and is having trouble with the various 50grn rounds i've been using...? - Not quite sure on this as I only have the problem with the T8 on.. ? I'm going to test some 55grn and 62grn in it again tomorrow and see... Watch this space.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magman Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 Thought with a 1in 11 twist you should be going the other way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyb Posted October 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 (edited) I'm confussed as you are Rob... Just doing what's asked of me to test some ideas. I may also in time want to use the rifle for stalking, which would stop me dropping below 50grn Edited October 3, 2008 by garyb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magman Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 Mine's a t3 lite 1 in 8 and love's 55grn blitzkings but will also group 40 grn blitzkings if that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogfox Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 used to be a fan of the t8s, but not anymore, the fact that you can take em apart to clean them is ludicrous, if you see the ammount of dirrst that builds up in them i think youll agree with me, id invest in a predator 8 mod, in my opinion they are better than the t8, you can fully strip them and they are dead easy to clean, it also shrouds the barrel slightly to maximize sound moderation, theyr well wroth the look into. we put it on the buckmark as an experiment!! all you could hear was the action snapping back and forth!!, also, you can buy different adapters so if you use it on a .223 you just buy a forend adapter replacement in the specific size, eg: .243 .308 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deadeye ive Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 Compare the groups from MOD - ON to MOD - OFF.... I can find no issue with either myself or rifle, when the mod is not screwed on. Has anyone else ever seen anything like this? - It's quite clear from the picture ,you can even make out the shape of the bullet !! Gary All i can say is that I had to remove a considerable amount of material from the stock to ensure the barrel remained free upon firing .You think its free floating but sit it on a Bi-pod and things can change . I thought I had it cracked but instead of using the 12-27" harris bi-pod i decided to leave the legs up and use a bail of straw as a rest .Un be known to me the feet were touching my T8 ever so slightly and from previous groups of less than 1" @ 100yds Iwas shooting 3"+ It just goes to show what a slight touching of the barrel and its mod can do . Centre fire can soon land you in the funny farm if you ain't careful Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garyb Posted October 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 It's deffo not touching with mod and bipod on... already checked that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 So you can run a business card or similar under the barrel without it touching the stock? I would get the opinion of another riflesmith, if it works ok with the mod off I just can't see it being twist rate/bullet weight? But as Ive says they can drive you nuts at times with the odd things they do. Easier said than done, but it would be nice to get another mod on there to try. Edit to add. I may not actually be touching the mod to through the bullet off, not sure what anyone else thinks about that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyb Posted October 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 The shop are being good about it, and have told me to return it again after testing some more ammo that they gave me for free yesterday. The theory goes something like... after a couple of rounds through the setup, the built up of "smoke" and gasses are enough to de-stabilize the lighter 50grn rounds with the mod on... so I'm going to try some 55grns federals again and see... If it still plays up, they will swap the mod, and it may even not be a T8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
