    Gents I have had a 300 blk since they were introduced in the states, imported the first reamer. I have taken lots of goats and fallow with mine using 110gr vmax. It performs like a soft point...

    I picked the x39 as I had spoken to four different people who I trust who had shot a number of deer (100 or more) using supersonics and then gone to the x39. They all to a person said that the x39...

    Considering you're planning on doing this with a standard tikka barrel and the person doing the work doesn't flute deeper or further into the chamber area, no difference to factory fluting. The many...

    The new ones are good. But the ones on the initial changeover were not so flash. I have a 1895 which is very nice.

    308mate liked post by Ben Waimata On thread : T/CR22 bolt hold open... why?
    Interesting. I guess this comes down to how we use our rifles. I've had the same 10/22 for over 35 years now, right back at the beginning I got into the habit of keeping the mag full all the time,...

    I haven’t put one in an animal yet. They are very accurate at 50m so should do the job if I do my part. Need to keep in mind they only have roughly 4x the energy of a 22lr sub so need to pick my...
