    What was wrong with the aus 8? It's definatley nothing flash but should be a serviceable stainless and should still hold an edge as well if not a wee bit better than the 1075 in the opinel.

    Thanks for the suggestion Hermitage. I did have a look at TradeMe yesterday but it's an option I'll try and avoid. Might traumatize the more sensitive students.

    Do it if it is a cheapie scope that you dont care about. Dut if it is a good one, dont. You risk leaking out the nitrogen inside, then it is going to fog and/or erode coating of the glasses inside....

    A soft-hearted friend of mine catches rats in a small cage trap then releases them a km down the road. He says its not unusual for them to die before release. Stress maybe?

    Some interesting choices possible here. If you're investing in a 22LR rimfire to do PRS shooting, or you simply want to enjoy owning a nicely engineered rifle then its entirely valid to spend $1000-...

    If you get carried away and end up re-finishing the stock, you could save the dust from sanding it down and mix that with Araldite. Fill the hole with this mixture and sand to shape.
