Hey team , have a spotting scope up for sale. If your interested let me know 👍

Just want to shout out and say thanks to the Horowhenua hunting club for inviting me to talk about firearm maintenance on Monday night , hopefully it will help someone out down the track , cheers team we appreciate it 👍.

This is the second re*****on 700 short action that we tidied up last month , the bolt handle was missing , so we silver soldered a new one on before we could fit the barrel. Fitting it into the stock we found the action screw holes in the stock didn't line up perfectly with the action itself , so into the milling machine to relieve the alloy bedding block to allow the recoil lug to sit further back ,success!

338 lapua time ! Will keep you guys posted .

Here's a job we did a while ago , we had to make a spacer to go between a Scope and thermal adaptor , as the original one wasn't a good fit and the scope didnt hold zero on the target. We started by measuring the internals of the adaptor and found it not to be completely round , so we machined the bushing down to be a snug fit on the OD ,and slowly tapered the inside to suit the OD of the scope. We cut the bushing in half and assembled it. With everything being a snug fit the scope started to hold zero .

Went to do some work on this rifle and wondered why I couldn't undo the action screws. Another example of why you need to do preventative maintenance on your fi****ms.

Managed to get another one finished this week , a Sako 85 222 for a new barrel . A quick borescope revealed quite a bit of rust and pitting . We inspected the action and checked the action face to the locking lugs with a micrometer and it looked in good shape , all three locking lugs on the bolt were contacting inside the action so onto fitting the new Truflite 1-9 twist barrel . Just need to head to the range and see how it shoots .

New reamer day , 6.5 and 22 creedmoor!

Trigger job this week , a nice anschultz 22 which had some pieces missing from the trigger, unfortunately being an older rifle there is nothing available on the shelf locally , so we had to make up a threaded sleeve and locking nut for the sear adjustment so we could make it operational.
