My New NEF Sidekick
I got the 2-7X32 Nikon Prostaff mounted in some Weaver rings that were in my parts box. I need to get a Metrics Unlimited breech plug.

Re: My New NEF Sidekick
Have you seen this article on the breechplugs?
http://www.go2gbo.com/forums/index.php?topic=164130.0
The part about using the O-rings was interesting; I know they wouldn't work on an 'open breech' gun like my Black Diamond, but the sooting back in the action drives me nuts with that gun. I wish they made the .25 ACP plugs for that gun.

Re: My New NEF Sidekick
That is an excellent article. I plan on getting a new breechplug in the next few days.

There a guy on the Graybeard Outdoors NEF/H&R classifieds that has a new one like this for $150.00

Re: My New NEF Sidekick
I managed to get my Sidekick to the range today and get off a few shots before it started pouring down rain. These 3 were taken at 50 yards. I had 2" of fast running water under the bench when I took these shots at 50 yards. 90 grains of BH209, Winchester primers, Metrics Unlimited breechplug, T/C 240 Grain Cheap Shots. Recoil was very moderate, clean-up was about like cleaning a regular hunting rifle and I used Hoppes #9.

Nicely done. That will for sure put meat in the freezer.
