Thats a very nice rifle imo. I would just love to get one of those. Under $500 and it's sweet. What scope did you end up putting on that rifle?

 

[sxyglock17]

Sights: No factory sights. Scope base came factory installed. It is wearing a Tasco Varmint 2.5-10x42mm with true mildot illuminated reticle and 1/4 M.O.A. Glove-Grip Turrets.

how much did you pay for the scope? i might look at that i am looking at a bushnelle trophy 3-9x for when i purchase one

 

[AlderTK]

gagnons has a few in storage and there service is superb they are friendly and helpfull and they're entire staff is vary knollageable get off the 401 at stevison or park road and head away from curtis and away from whiby on bloor

 

[sxyglock17]

I think the scope was $100 plus tax IIRC.

It's been raining for the last few nights. Supposed to rain tonight. So not sure when I'll get to blow up some more critters.

cool how does it compair to the bushnel trophy i'm intrested in a mill dot if i could find a decent one for a affordable cost

 

[sxyglock17]

They are both middle of the road optics. It wasn't as clear/bright as the Loupold I looked through at the same time. It is still great in my opinion. I'll try and get a pic through it on my next midnight critter mission. The illuminted reticle really helps!

[AlderTK]

i'll have to see if i can look at one at gangons where did you get it?

Maybe one of our sasquatch's from Manitoba headed east on a walkabout. It's mating season for them as they have a spring rut. Be careful out there in the dark and stay clean shaven so he does think your a potential mate.

everyone knows that sasquatch and bigfoot both live in BC cause they like kokanee

 

[AlderTK]

oh and on the possiblity of it being a couger they released one improperly in that area a few months ago because the people who released it didn't wanna drive the oredered 16 hours so it might be

 

[Slowbalt]

Is this an Harris bipod?

 

[Slowbalt]

Also, what is the lowest setting for the accutrigger? 1.5lbs or 2.5???

 

[sxyglock17]

Not Harris, it's called Rock Steady or Rock Mount or something like that (Harris Copy).

It sure feels about 1.5lbs, but not sure exactly what the lowest setting is.

[taffman]

I have the same gun and after 3 different attempts a few months apart each at lowereing the trigger to it's lowest possible setting, with a good trigger scale, the lowest I can come up with is 2 lbs. 2 oz.
That's probably low enough for a gun that see's the field and punches paper.

 

[sxyglock17]

When I bought it I asked for it to be set to the lightest it could be. On my receipt it says "one coil cut from AccuTrigger spring. Now 5oz under minimum. New spring provided if you ever want to go back."

Not sure how many springs are in there, but it seems that might get you lighter safely.

Good info Jamie, thanks, I just may give it another try.

I have seen people cut springs on CZ's and although it did lighten the trigger, it also introduced creep, so there might be a tradeoff.
