    7/32-40 ME taps may be the jobby. Available in a couple of places in NZ but pricey at ~ 38 bucks.

    Thread revival! Shot this neat wee rifle at my place yesterday . . . . With powder coated cast bullets it'll stack them at 50M. Nice to shoot but surprisingly loud (with Hardy supressor). ...

    I think we need to establish some benchmarks and comparisons. For example: Budget Rifles,then and now Medium priced Rifles,then and now Premium Rifles,then and now.

    I've got one, they are ok but the lighting is pretty average inside them I have a few of those cheap leds with magnets on the back to boost it . At $379 I'd wait till they had a sale though
