661 Oil Test 32:1 vs 40:1 vs 50:1 ?

[bwalker]

I have the H&S green spiderweb on my Reminton 700 milspec 5r and like it

I have had several as well. Extremely heavy and very thick due to being made of cheap, chopped fiberglass instead of being hand laid like a Mcmillan.
Here is a H&S on a 375, a MCM on a 300 win and 300 ultra and a pacific research on a sako 25-06AI.

Ya I agree the H&S isnt the quality of McMillan but its not bad for the price

I actually think they are of lesser quality than a Bell and Carlson and B&B's are much cheaper.
It's a shame Pacific Research stocks are no loner made. I really liked them.

The HS came on my 5r but if I buy a stock it will no doubt be a McMillan. I like the A5 McMillan in Woodland Camo pattern. My bud Ron660 has one. I wouldnt mind having a Obermeyer Custom with the A5 woodland camo

I would like to try a manners T5 or one of the modular chassis like AI

Is that ipe decking ? I have fiberon brand ipe ,looks close to that stuff .

Will running Lucas oil fix this problem?

 

[Andyshine77]

Residual oil is a indication of oil ratio.... never had a problem with it not clinging.

It runs off like water. I simply prefer the low molecular weight and polarize ester based oils. I have no doubt R2 is fine, and I'll use up what I have.

 

[NWCoaster]

What about 2 stroke oil color.... has anybody tested whether orange colored mix would be better than say purple or blue. I know anything greenish colored is absoloute crap, JMHO....

Not uncommon at all and partly driven by their preferable for large objective scopes.

it's simple, light ability for hunting in late evening hours. I'll try to explain why there are huge objective scopes in Europe, and why they are populare.

Before it was always the 8X56mm who where the light king, 3-23X56 loosing a tad light ability due to more complex building compared to a fixed lense.

There is a formula on this light ability, if I remember correct it's this way, 56mm divided by 8X zoom = 7.
7 is a number where your eyes can see most in dark light. 42 mm divided by 7 gives 6X zoom as ideal. 32 mm gives 4,5X zoom as ideal. You see the picture where I am going now. 56mm is the king, going down to 42 it has less ability to let light come through for hunting late evening hours.

Decades ago they develop red dot for their 50-56mm lenses, not made for daylight, the dot is so weak that you can not see it in daylight, it was made as helper in the real tricky situations where it was so dark that your couldn't see the cross, but you could see the countur of the deer. You turned it on, slowly and not so much that it would blend your vision, and you could set a safe shot. I've shoot a couple deer in a situation like that, also a beever on 300 metre distanse with my 30-378 late hour.

I've had Doctor 1,5-6X42, aspherical lense, and a Zeiss Victory 3-12X56 on the same time.The huge lense provided me with at least 30 minutes extra shooting light, pluss the extra shooting light time with the red dot. There is a noticeable difference from 42mm to 56mm when it comes to light ability.

Here in yoooper land the late hunters just use lights, lol. Really with standard scopes legal hours are passed and can still see, so I have no use for 56mm objectives and the like.

I can't remember what product it is other than it cost me an arm and a leg. It has held up well for 12 years and looks new after its yearly pressure wash.

I have never seen this. I have seen ester oils degrade over time when exposed to air/ moisture during storage.
I really like K2, but in all honesty it's a waste of money for a lowly chainsaw.

lol then u have never hunted without light

 

[bwalker]

The legal hours thing really makes it not an issue, unless your in heavy cover.
Hunting out west I have never felt the need for anything more than a 40mm objective.

 

[Tor R]

could you decribe when the legal hours are over there, and what different rules your guys have over there?

 

[bwalker]

The Department of Natural Resources sets a time for each day of the hunting season that sets when hunting may start and end for the day. It's set such that it is still light enough to see with a quality scope just prior too and just after legal hours.

 

[windthrown]

Screw lights. Use a Starlight scope! Of course hunting here after sunset is poaching.

Yes well they're my lowly chainsaws.

 

[bwalker]

Said in jest..
Honestly, most here should pic an oil based on how good it smells as they will never accumulate enough hours to realize any difference.
