Yes, as it’s a telescopic, AR15-type butt, it uses an AR-type buffer tube, less buffer, to mount it.

Agree; 505s nice, but V V expensive for what it is and a mediocre trigger at best. S&L is top quality, with switch barrel ability, sweet trigger and a great QD scope system and as you say for a lot less money, plus you can get a thumbhole stock option.

Yeah, sweet little optic. The bipod is an AccuTac, on this model, leg length is fixed, but they can hinge forward and back to adjust height. Cant is lockable and attachment by Picatinny rail, it's a solid and well made design.

Thanks for the info, trying to decide on my next bipod

@@TimCa308 Really depends on what you want it for. For general use; hunting, varminting and range work, you can't go far wrong with a Harris BRS (bench rest swivel) 6-9" legs, quick attach/detach, cant adjustment and QD sling attachment points. One caveat; there are a lot of copies of this design out there, cheaper, yes, but nowhere near as good. However, if precision is your game, then a tactical-type design offers more stability and features, but the trade off, is price and weight. I like my AccuTac very much, but would not use it for hunting. If I can round up a few different types I might do a video on this subject.

@PCMGuns a bipod review would be good, I'm after a bipod for range use , to go on a r700 308 in a HS precision stock.

LOL, :) Great little scope and the Tippman is a sweet choice, going to see if I can borrow one for a video.

It's possible, but, from past experience a lot of work, time and effort, certainly from an empty cylinder. And an exercise I would not wish to repeat, too many times. Possibly useful for small top ups, but an air bottle is easier, although, big, heavy and costly.

Make sure you don't loose that ability.

Hundreds of years ago we had a similar thing to your second amendment, it was about defence of the realm and not having a standing army. But that, although still on the books has been very much side lined. Plus, the shooting community is very fragmented in the UK, with some disciplines not supporting the rights of all shooters. EG, back in 1988 we had a shooting and the guy used self-loading rifles, our National Rifle Association, which bears little resemblance to your NRA turned round to the government of the time who were looking for excuses to ban SLRs and said we can see no reason, why sporting shooters need self-loading rifles and that was the end of that, when the major firearms association sides with the enemy. We had similar situations with our handgun ban, with some disciplines simply looking the other way, or coming down on the side of the ban. You guys should not get complacent, as they will try with you too....

This is the UK and we don't have that luxury, so better than nothing, but still with the other good features of the generic AR15, so we just 'man up'!

Mate, yes were are mad Brits 🤣I know what you mean, I'm an old man now, but pre the 1988 self loading rifle ban, I shot and collected military rifles. When the ban came in it broke my heart to give up all my hardware, especially my beloved AR15 A2 with Colt, 3x20 BDC scope on top, best darn AR I ever owned and a gorgeous M1 Garand. I know what you mean about 'neutering' the AR, but it was the only game in town and I was, and am, still happier shooting my side-cocking AR than using a bolt gun. At least I've had the fun times and look back with fond memories on all my toys, and feel sorry for the younger guys who never had the opportunities me and my peers did. Yes, love to come to the US and turn live into empty with anything that rock-n-rolls; who knows? Keep up the good fight! PM

you know there are gun guys everywhere in europe 😅 300 000 sport shooters and 3 or 4 millions hunters here in france, I'm french and I have some nice toys including that schmeisser but in 18 inch heavier barrel, fixed stock and 222 rem... extremely accurate... some eastern europe countries you can even easily have semi autos, here we can too but it demands extra steps and autorisations. though it's easy to get any manually repeating gun. Any bolt action up to 338 lapua mag, pump shotguns, lever guns...

Speaking from a UK perspective, I've looked into the KaliKey system and it's a solution to an 'American" problem only, with certain, US states banning self-loading AR15s, that allows you to convert the rifle to manual operation (man/opp), without surgery. Yes the slightly larger, or really large T-handles do help,, but the basic premise of awkward positioning for operation, without having to break your shooting position remains. Looking at some videos shows shooters lifting their heads off the butt or dropping the muzzle to achieve easy operation. You may feel a side-cocker is ugly, but in the UK it's a 100% improvement to struggling with a T-handle and also eradicates the majority of hard extraction problems;ems too. The Trot PAR, is a pump-action mechanism, which has been banned in the UK since 1988, so a non-starter. The SAR, shows much more promise and I like the way you can switch the charging handle easily. Hope that was of help? PM

Good call, excellent rifle, good luck with the FAC grant

Yep, very much an acquired taste, but also a bit addictive.

Hi, Mauser made a custom version for me, using the green PH, Extreme stock with the adjustable comb of the Target version, I think they did it in 2010. So has been in continuous use for the last 14-years, with no problems, the screws are strong and tighten efficiently every time. What I really like is the fact you can slack off the two vertical steel pillars and move the comb left or right to suit use.

Thank you very much for your reply and I hope you continue to enjoy your M03.

Nice rifle, the Nomad is a great system too.

Here's what I found; Schmidt & Bender offers you a lifetime of satisfaction on the performance of your new riflescope. Which includes a twenty years ready on stock parts availability, ten years warranty on assembled parts and a limited two years warranty on electronics. In the highly unlikely event that a problem occurs with your ZCO riflescope, we offer a transferable lifetime warranty that covers mechanical and optical defects due to materials or workmanship under normal use for the life of the riflescope. I like Schmidt's and own four, but you'd think you just get a lifetime warranty given the price. ZCO seems to offer a better deal on that front.

Shouldn't be a problem! The stock is a GRS Bifrost and they make it in various colours, long & short actions and for most rifle makes, including Bergara

@@PCMGuns Ty

@@PCMGunsagreed. Seems like vortex is only scope company by with an unconditional warranty.

Thanks mate and yes a handy rifle, with a decent price too.

Isn't blue that they say a deer can see well

As a baby boomer myself, I was of the same opinion as you. My Gen Z daughter turned me on to it and it has shown a marked interest in subscribers. Yes Ruger brought its A-game to the American, but and although the mag capacity is not a big deal, it's a strange choice.

I have the Gen II in .243, and since it takes the AICS mags in .308, you can get five and ten round magazines pretty easy online. But with .243, I find any more than 5 rounds and you definitely need to let the barrel cool.

Makes sense, I have an 8.5x63 Reb, solid barrel for my M03 as a boar gun and that's a no lightweight. Barrels are available, but I think calibre choice is limited and order to delivery time is considerable. Spares are limited, to what Mauser have left.

The sauer grip is slimmer than the R8, is my opinion

The S&L is an excellent rifle, but at the time I was comparing the M12 to the M03, as a more cost effective option.

The 3-12x50 S&B scope allows me to ascertain accuracy potential better, and if hunting, I'd fit something smaller. Ref the can, it's the only 5/8x24 UNEF one I have and it works, so I'm not bothered if its size offends you, as that comment is irrelevant. Dwell time, well, anything that can have a negative effect on accuracy, even at shorter ranges is worth bearing in mind.

@@PCMGuns Whatever. if you're going to do a test on a rifle at least test it in the conditions its made to be used in.

Thanks very much.

I speak as I find, best way I feel. Thanks for supporting the channel, it's most appreciated.
