Thread: Swaro Alumina style caps

Now is it just me or are Swaro caps a bit shit compared to those cheap Leupold Alumina caps....

Was load developing a Sako Carbon light (don't get me started on the constant failure to eject a spent case scenario, yeah I know gotta expect that from a cheap rifle ) for a good client with a "you beauty" (it really is Team Seagull) Z8 yesterday

It was always going to be a mission, I couldn't find the lands on the Sako even with a 197 SMK... we made a doovery & it turns out a REM 700 7-08 rem has around 5mm free bore & a T3 Tikka has 6.5mm & this 7 x 64 has around 20mm

Anyway back to my rant, every time I fired the rifle the eyepiece cap flew around under recoil & smacked me on my glasses.....quite annoying...

Neither of them appear to lock back like those the Leupold Alumina caps, they just flop about under spring tension...have I missed something here...????

One plus it looks like the 7 x 64 might shoot the 120 TTSX at around 31-3200+ fps, time will tell, its pretty lively & there is no way the throat will ever erode

Very nice rifle if you can put up with the spent case not wanting to leave the ejection port at all & your nice scope getting marked along with the cases getting dented.....
