    What gets me is why would he get that scope to fire form brass....? If you just need to make sure you safely hit the target then almost any scope will do or a bucket of sand.....

    And as a matter of interest- what is a 6 dasher? Is it a calbire or brand I have never heard of? Or slang for something else?
    Intelligence has its limits, but it appears that Stupidity knows no bounds......

    Not surprisingly TradeMe have advised not to complete any auctions from that member, as their account has been compromised.

    No. It's a cartridge. The caliber of that cartridge is 6mm.

    Google search should return no matches for a genuine auction, or one or more from fake's. You can click on the images returned by google to see where the images came from - most of the time Ebay auctions.
