Re: Quick release sling swivel advice

Sako does sell the swivels, I don't have reseller catalog so don't know part number. Available in blued and stainless, and maybe they're only sold as kits containing 2 swivels and 2-3 studs (mix of wood screw and machine screw). Price should be approx. £30-40 for blued kit and £40-50 for stainless k...

Re: Quick release sling swivel advice

At least Recknagel/ERATAC seem to offer similar design. Products 20000-1025 (Euro) and 20000-3025 (US). Both are for 6mm stud width and the pin diameter is not mentioned. Some German seller lists pin diameter at 3mm for Euro version. The part that attaches to stud is one piece with part that attache...

Re: Quick release sling swivel advice

That kind used to be more popular. With regular use and a bit of oil the'yre fine, low profile and aesthetically pleasing. You might find the current style easier to use in dark etc. Just look for Uncle Mike's sling swivels to get idea. Instead of moving pin, the pin is fixed to one side and the oth...

Forum acting up (database?)

Hi, just noticed that in addition to forum being slow there might be some database problems or such. Eg. the following thread shows one reply (from Bruce) at the subforum level: https://nightvisionforumuk.com/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=25526 But when you open the thread there's only the original post. Of ...

Re: Trigger stick/ rests

Regarding the left/right vs. fore/aft wobble, I've found the leg position should be adjusted to the type of support. Spreading your legs fore/aft (like taking a step) is best for quad sticks and more left/right spread for tripod. And if you're not able to get enough support from tripod/bipod in stan...

Re: Mini magnum

Wasn't going to post, but hey ho... Ian has very very rose tinted glasses regarding products he sells. He seems to test a lot of gear and only sell what he selects out (based on performance, value, support... don't know if profit was also criteria) But after that he's pushing them very aggressively....

Re: Easy to see

Yes, using torches is more flexible but using mains power units otherwise better. They're made for CCTV cameras and such. You might want to play with installation height to create shadows, since they're many times easier to spot than animals. Also if you're out with centerfire and buddy, in bad cond...

Re: Job done

And if you send a unit back to UK for servicing etc. you should probably make some kind of declaration to your home country customs, so you won't have to pay the VAT again when it comes back. There might also be some local limit for smallest amount of VAT that's charged. Currently in Finland it's 5 ...
