You have quick release mounts Happy?

Yes..

[Bill999]

scope choice depends on ranges you plan to use it at

I want 100-250 so iv gone with a 2.5-8 x32 vx3
a 3-9 would do the job just fine too,

red dots and low powered scopes are only good to around 100m then presision starts to get hard

[Bill999]

iv never got the idea of quick release, are your guys scopes likely to catch on fire?

Ha ha we know you re jokin ... . My AR332 is just about useless spotlighting rabbits but awesome during the day when walking
around the farm. Awesome to swap over then go straight into longer range small stuff...

I like being able to remove mine to use my flippyuppy irons if I want to.

I had mine out yesterday. Its hard to miss. Brilliant hunting rifles. So pointy and ergonomic. The Leaupold VX-R Patrol 1.25-4 is fantastic.

Tussock have you tried spotlighting with it for possums rabbits etc ? That's where I found needed more magnification for my poorish eyesight anyway

[Beavis]

They are in my opinion the perfect semi auto sporting rifle. A hunter/shooter is well served if he has a good bolt gun and a sensible AR in his cabinet.

Troy. Yeah they work great. Shot wallabies on the run at 100+ m with them.

ref the troy micro sights,I have a burris pepr mount, how much room do you need to mount the rear sight does it fold down forward or backwards to clear the scope rear lens.
I have one spare slot on the rail behind the pepr mount. Cheers

Also pulled my barrel off yesterday had to make a reciever block to do so out of timber worked really well, now looking at a daniel defence .625 barrel on gun stuff, can't get my gas block off tho too remove the free float barrel nut!? Might be easier to buy a new one for my new barrel?

If the gas block is pinned then you realise the pins are tapered?

[turner nz]

Nah just two set scews only the gas tube had a tappered pin got that out fine but the block has some lok tite down the holes just stubborn as tried a rubber mallet and a piece of wood on the bench but no go, may have to give it a go again

Only win with loctite apply heat do you have a map gas bottle . 60 to 70 degrees makes most go spongy so you can remove it some needs heap more heat
