My bank account needs help . i think i will be ok with just my march ??? HOLLY
Well after marking up the sightron today and getting onto the course . i found half way around i was knackered hauling gun and scope about . i shoot for enjoyment . if i am knackered = no enjoyment . so off it must go . shame cos it is a damn good scope . ??? HOLLY
PS on the for sale section .
Well first time out with the new Johno side wheel . worked pretty good i thought . it is a cam type wheel . the main part goes from 55 yards to 25 yards . then on around the out side of the wheel to 9 yards . it i think tops out at just below 60 yards . off comes the march sunday night after the last winter league and on goes the Sightron . next week will tell ? . Ohhh innit exciting . think i am gonna be sick ??? HOLLY
Forst chance to use the sightron as it was supposed to be used . eg on a rifle . have to say i a found it so far to be pretty good . as i don't have the proper side wheel . i just set the rifle to 40 yards . then went out on the course aiming up and down a bit so to speak . i hit more than i missed . the ret was clear on all targets . the hash line were good and useful . so far so good . when i get the side wheel . i will see whether the ranges come in OK . but from what i see . so far so good . for the money , i don't think you can beat it .??? HOLLY
Well i am ordering a AJP Cam type side wheel for the Sightron . only way i think . i will then sell the Rowan universal side wheel . which will cover most of the cost of it . then we will see ??? HOLLY
Well it all happened today , took the sightron on my spare rifle . it ranges on 35 mag from 9 yards to 57 yards . nice and clear . the colours are not very bright but the image is clear and defined . very narrow field of view mind . may have problems picking up the targets . to this point i have fitted it to my old 2002 . will give it a run out sunday , weather permitting . a problem that was pointed out is that on very hot days . the 57 yards may come down to below 55 yards ?. gonna get colder now i think again . so won't have to worry about that for a while ??? HOLLY
right now , ignoring the peasants . i am out tomorrow to test the sightron . the only thing i have against it so far is weight . tomorrow i will test the sightron to destruction . well maybe not too destruction , but close ??? HOLLY
PS watch this space for my thoughts . the thoughts or chairman Holly .
When i find my white stick , i will fetch you one around the ears sonny jim . HOLLY
A circular one Bazza would not be big enough to get the gaps if my rowan is anything to go by . that is 6 inches across . i reckon 9 inches would be minimum . will try mine out wednesday ??? HOLLY
Just ordered a sidewheel from ajpengineering, had to do this as the cocking lever is on the left side of the guns action, a circular sidewheel would impact on this. Still, at least I got away without having to pay postage!
True bazza but i have to do 8 standers . so that is too much weight for that . as said will give it a run out wednesday . but to be fair to it . i don't think it will work without a larger side wheel ??? HOLLY
Weighed the Sightron and my Nikko, the Nikko is slightly heavier.
