Hi again,

Does anyone out there know when the next container full of Vortex scopes is likely to hit our shores? I've been sending myself up the wall looking for a Vortex Viper HST 6-24X50 sfp for about a week now and everywhere is out of stock. Except for the odd place that has stuck an extra £100 on the general asking price which is obviously why they still have some.

My Remmy 700 was threaded over here 5/8 UNF. Is this the same thread our American cousins use to thread their muzzle brakes? How many threads per inch is UNF?

Joe

5/8 UNF is 18 TPI

Cheers......That's the easy one sorted. Now to track down the scope I want.

Have you tried calling the places that have them at a ton more and say by you'll buy one for the going rate?

Sometimes worth a punt.

I could try that but they are probably aware of the demand . Hence the price hike but as you say worth a try.

not a demand if ppl know they are chancing it and waiting for someone else to get stock, they get left with it.

US muzzle threads are 1/2"x28 for 5.56/.223" types & 5/8"x24 for 6.8SPC & 7.62/.308"

US threads are UNEF

Not quite what you wanted, but close . . .

And if you can bear to have something a little less tecticool, the 6-20x50 Viper is half the price.
