Which scope rings?

DF

DF, runnin steel Warne bases and Burris QD rings, they are very quick to the express irons.

Gunner

How do the Burris QD's compare with Warne QD's?

DF

They are alot slimmer and trimmer, also somewhat lighter, I dont think the soft recoiling 9.3 would require the forged Warnes, I run those on my 505 Gibbs chunkin 600 grainers at 2400+ FPS.

Gunner

Warnes are heavier, but they may be MIM instead of forged. Seems I remember reading they make the Leupold QD rings, too. They both have that same powder coat or whatever the coating is and that little steel cross pin that keeps falling out while trying to put the rings together.

I'll have to check out the Burris. Easy to take on and off?

DF

Yessir easy on and off, IIRC the Warnes are available in Sintered steel and Forged.

Gunner

Had to chop some off so as to focus on the reefle.

DF: little pricier but you might consider Talley QD's. They are skookum.

Here they is on my Mejicanomouser in .275 Rigby:

10-4 on the photo-chop, and thats one sexy messkin'

Gunner

+1 on that rifle. Cool rig and great stock work.

BTW, who did the wood..??

I tried Talley bases, but they wouldn't work with the short 2.5-8x36 scope and the full length FN. Talley doesn't offer an extension front base. So, I'm stuck with a Weaver compatible set of rings. I'm not a Burris fan, but their Weaver compatible QD's may be the best I can do for trim and light QD's.

I have Talley's on other guns and like them a bunch.

DF

Karnis... this is a fine stock and I will be pm'ing soon on this.. Best. Dai

I refinished it, fit the grip cap and pad and fixed a couple of other things if that's what you were asking. I can't remember where Gunner picked it up.

How about an extension hose clamp?

Great idea, Karnis.

I'll get one at ACE Hdw. after the holiday. Will post pictures...

Have a good one...

DF

Hey DF,

thanks for the reply. Sorry for the delay.
The rear sight on my Sauer is removable, so wouldn't pose a problem at all. More worried about the height of the peep, and whether it fits with the stock shape.
The bases on this rifle are Warnes.
Also had Warne QD rings for the scope, but don't think too much of the pair I have.
I now have some Weaver rings on it with a Zeiss Conquest 3-9 x 40.

Has worked really well with the .270 barrel in it.








Next trip out, I'm hoping to have the 9.3 barrel in it.
Just need to consider a projectile for the thinner skinned quarry I intend to pursue with it (Think Red and Fallow deer)
Any suggestions on suitable projectiles for this would be greatly appreciated.

I'll be contacting NECG soon to organise a peep for the weaver bases too.

Cheers,
Troy

Nice...!

Keep us posted on the 9.3. What loads are you going to use?

DF

Cross referencing the VX-6 1-6x24 scope that ended up on the Mauser 9.3x62.

You sure having a hard time picking a scope for that rifle arn't you........I thought you were going with that 1.75-6 leupold (or whatever that was you just bought). I'm sure it will shoot good and work for everything that walks with just about any kind of scope you put on it......Let us know how she works out and post a pic after you decide which scope you are going to throw on it.....What you going to do with the 1.75x6 now???

Yeah, you're observations are quite accurate.

I tried several scopes but when I put this one on the gun everything just "came together". The height for perfect eye alignment was there using low QD Warnes that I already had. The brightness and very forgiving eye box sold me on leaving this scope on this gun.

The German #4 and Fire Dot at 1X power makes for very fast target acquisition and steady aiming. The 6X and CDS should be perfect for longer shots.

The other scopes just didn't measure up to this one. The VX-3 1.75-6x36 would make a great backup scope or may end up on another rifle. That's a nice problem to have...
