[QUOTE="VinceMule, post: 2716020, member: 122164"] The first Eric Cortina tuner is just a threaded sleeve. This sleeve is probably the most duplicated tuner on the market. In the late 70s and very early 80s, I was running unturned blanks on my p, dog rifles, easy to set back the barrel into fresh lands. I had my gunsmith make a large sleeve that was 4" long and 1.75" in dia to fit on my 1.250" unturned blank barrel. I had him install three opposing tipped set screws. I added the weight, then found out that when I moved that piece the slightest bit, I could tune the load down into the 1's. I had this set up on half a dozen rifles, with no increments on the tuner or barrel...crude. I used a crude but exact method of Measuring from the end of the barrel with a 12" dial caliper for a reading on the position of the tuner. Later on, Limbsaver came out with these rubber doughnuts to tune barrels with. I have used those large rubber doughnuts on some factory sporter rifles with great success, especially a Savage 30/30 pump! Things that are different do not go over well. Pride of ownership vs practical use usually wins out. Tuners will not make up for an action that is out of bed, as a rule. We have tuned a number of Browning BARs with BOSS systems on them to shoot tiny groups. [/QUOTE]
