Plenty sporter 30 cal rifles are fitted with ~16.5mm muzzle diameter and use M14x1 muzzle thread but recently I am sure Sako are using M15x1 even up to 9.3x62. They seem to be happy with the small shoulder. I had an expert rifle smith fit a Suppressor using M16x1 on a 16.5mm Lothar Walther barrel. (he was an electrician by trade) even though there is only 0.5mm shoulder the supperssor and 308 rifle are working fantastic since more than twelve years. Only ever shot with suppressor. M15x1 should be ok.

Agreed, outside of the USA I'd say M14x1 or M15x1 is the most common thread for sporter weight barrels.
9/16x24 is about 14.3mm and is what I'd go for.

Tikka started offering the D18 profile that can take a 5/8x24 thread, but for standard lite profile need to go a bit smaller than that.

From the Earth to the Moon... 1998 or so on HBO

Not sure how I missed this...

Well, yeah. Sure. I do know. Was busy doing 'stuff' in the dot com boom. Which was my post-NASA career/Post 'stuff' career.

This HBO series is incredible. Its on HBO now... about 14 hours or so. And I can't give it a better endorsement.

Its rather brilliant. Great cast. The back stories are great. The whole thing is really well done.

The Right Stuff (based on the Tom Wolfe book) is great. This is sort of the sequal.

Sled for Squirrel Zero?

What's with the antenna on the scope ring?

I can extend it up and to the left to give me the best indication what the wind is doing. It's got a little wind flag attached to a string at the end of the string.

Why we have it is we shoot at small kill zones and wind blows pellets a lot. Getting the wind wrong means missing a bunch.

Squirrels will hear you coming from a mile away. The silent, snipery, tactical method of movement would be a tactical stroller. Put your rifle, ammo, sled, extra killin stuff in there and push with ease.

When in the woods squirrel hunting, just do your best imitation of a deer rustling through the leaves. The squirrels will just assume you are another squirrel.
