Anyone got any good load combinations for the Mannlicher Scout in .308 that they are happy with.

I'm just starting reloading and I will be using a combination of VihtaVuori N-140 and Winchester 147Gr FMJBT. I'm thinking of starting with a 43.7Gr powder load.

Too much or too little powder?

Warne quick release extra-high 30mm (part# 216LM) say 50mm-56mm on the package but those particular ones are for weaver rails.

Be careful with the comparable product lists on the Midway site because it is misleading.

I was after some 1" mounts for a 54mm scope and searched for the Warne extra-high quick release. “The following could be substituted for this product:” information at the bottom of the page included the Weaver extra-high mounts (a lot cheaper than Warne) so I went for the Weaver ones (£22 instead of £65+) but they only do scopes up to 50mm. The Warne extra-high do 50mm-56mm.

Just thought it would be worth mentioning, hopefully Midway can sort me out with returning these and getting suitable ones.

There is some info at http://www.warnescopemounts.com/scopering_chart.html

If any of you chaps know anyone in the Somerset/Devon border region who needs help with the odd deer/fox//rabbit/pigeon/crow/rat and the like taken care of let me know. I moved to the region not so long ago and could do with finding a bit of land in the area.

Acccording to the ticket I can also help out with your ferral goat and sheep problems as well

Mine took 7 days for some scope rings and a sling in an A4 jiffy bag.

Must admit that £8.85 does sound a little steep for postage costs for something relatively small. I sent a box weighing about 16lb to a mate using Parcel Force 48hr delivery for £16 the other week.

Is it just me or is the MidwayUk website generally terribly slow, searching takes an age it's like watching paint dry. I had real pains connecting to it today even though every other website I went to was absolutely fine.

Even after flushing the cached web pages, deleting the cached DNS entries from my PC and servers the site was still timing out. I know on other days it hasn't been this bad, but this is making me want to shop elsewhere.

The web pages get delivered at about the same speed as the orders

Hi,

I notice there are quite a few items you have for sale that are `special order only`. That you say cant be canceled or returned to you if they are defective or if the customer just doesnt want them. Isnt that a contravention of the `Distance selling regulations ?`. Now, no way am I a `Legal eagle`, so maybe I am reading it wrong. It seems to me though that consumers always legaly have the right to a `cooling off` period, to return defective or unwanted goods to the SELLER, & they also have the right to cancel an order, UNLESS the item is made to the customers specification, or is perishable. So if for example the order is for something that is `repeatable`, such as an `off the shelf` rifle scope, then that doesnt count as `special order`, even though you dont keep it in stock. I believe this only applies to individuals , if the item is ordered from you by another buisness the this regulation doesnt count.

Please dont think I am trying to put a `spanner in the works`. I have been a very satisfied customer of yours from day one. Im just a bit confused !.

Many thanks.

hi all,

just looking at the tikka t3 varmint stainless in .308 win and wondered if anyone had any experiance with one of these before???

If i were to buy one of these rifles i would definately fit a scope on it, looking at a 8-32 x 50. Seen on midway the warne mounts that fit the tikka reciever but i am not sure what height to get for the 50 mm lense. either medium or high ???

Much advice needed and appriciated

many thanks

chris

Posted: 19/Dec/2007 at 11:17

Hi ya all, I am very new to muzzleloading and have only attended 1 range day as of yet. My question relates to Percussion Cap sizes. On range day it was freezing and trying to put the caps on the nipples proved extremely difficult, I spent more time chasing the flaming things around the table than shooting. I was using one of the Club guns, a Ruger Old Army .45 and the Caps were designated 4mm. I want to purchase one of the automatic cap loaders but can only find reference to one's fitting No 11 caps. Is there a difference and if so can I purchase one for the 4mm.
Cheers

Subject: Browning Buckmark 22 rifle
Posted: 18/Dec/2007 at 18:35

I recently purchased a Browning buckmark 22 semi auto rifle, the sporter model with truglo sights. I really liked the look of it, very well balanced, blowback and 10 round mag slide that fits into the butt, just like a handgun, and that is what it is..An 18inch barreled handgun with monte carlo stock, unusual, modern and different, mainly imported into the uk to be chopped down, back to a pistol to uk legal requirments. I like it as a rifle in it,s own right, perfectly balanced and light, weighing in at 4lbs plus..some say the accurracy is not brilliant for a Browning but the only drawback I find is the occassional spit back, so I would reccomend the use of safety glasses. I am going to fit a 3-9x32 scope, I only use it at 25 yards at the moment, I have been told it will recycle any ammo but I have only used Remmington thunderbolt, which I dont reccomend..( but it is cheap) good fun..]]> Tue, 18 Dec 2007 18:35:50 +0000 http://www.midwayeurope.net/midwayuk/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21&PID=52#52
