    Sako A1 .223

    Got a rifle (a while ago), made a film. Need to replace that front bead with a square topped blade for a better sight picture. Have one in the mail fortunately.

    Great video as always. Is this in the Hunter hills by any chance? Or Haka valley perhaps?

    Then it wouldn't work with iron sights, which are a must for my work gun, cos I'm sick of worrying about the scope when a helicopter pilot drops my rifle on rocks/concrete pad/whatever

    Lucky you never flew with me.

    Id be more concerned about the irons being bumped than a decent scope, and yep I have mistreated both plenty.
