I've read a little about Cryo treatment of barrels but never had it done or knew anyone that did. Who did your receiver and barrel and how much did it cost? So many pro's and con's on the subject.

Alot of folks have said similar about their Mini 14's regarding accuracy. (Minute of barn...lol) I must have the only accurate Mini ever produced. I will say that out of the box, accuracy was horrible due to the factory 95lb trigger pull and 60 grit action....but after a trigger job and polish...

Interesting....I received it with a parts lot of other stuff given to me from a friends estate. It appears unused. I'll dig further to see if the dovetail piece is there. Thanks.

YES! That's it. Thank you.

I don't know but I'll look that up...TY

Any idea what rifle uses this side mount? 🤔Thanks.

Just interested in seeing what ya'll are using for optics on your Mini-14's. 🤠👍 Currently running a Sig Buckmaster 3-9x40mm....thinking of changing up to something else but I have no idea yet as to which way to go. Add a rail and 3X or 5X Prism? 🤔

I wanted one of these for my wedding day.....

I experienced extensive "barrel flip" and heat with my Tikka T3 Superlight that had a factory fluted barrel - in 6.5 Creedmoor. That rifle was all over the place. So much so, I sold it and bought a regular Tikka T3. I'll put up with packing around a heavier barreled rifle. Yours sounds like a...

Yes sir, as far as rifle scopes go, I have that down pretty much pat. It was always the spotting scopes that looped me. I very much appreciate this thread as I always enjoy learning new 411 and techniques. 👍

My buddy's ranch is in Bandera where I kill most my Axis. He and his dad own a small business in Pipe Creek. Small world! Here's my # (512) 667-eight 2 three 3. We should maybe meet up at TCO for breakfast!

I'm in Spring Branch neighbor!

Well Sebo, here's my range report. Bear in mind, I belong to a small private membership only club and the furthest firing range is 400 yards. The outcome, however, was interesting to me. I'll start by saying that previously to today, I had always checked out the 85mm spotting scope. Today, I...

I will hit the range I belong to this week, possibly even later today. They have a number of different power spotting scopes to use. Just for fun, I am going to try and verify the mirage scenario. No promises from my end, as I previously stated my eyes aren't what they used to be...lol, Ah to be...

I defer to your experience as I've not had the issue. Thank you, I'll keep that in mind to eveluate next time out. Of course, my eyes are old...I may just not be seeing what you are. Best of luck.:cool:👍
