    It has a decent recoil but not bad. I’ve been shooting it since I was 16 and weighed about 60kg and never really noticed it. The recoil is more of a push than a sharp jab, and definitely better than...

    short barrels are bad enough on their own, it brings the noise closer to your ear while shooting, add a brake that directs even more back toward the shooter it would make it very unpleasant and down...

    With earplugs the rating of 20-30db may not cut a lot of noise out of a braked firearm which can be running 160-165DB+. Also earplug ratings are really only accurate for industrial noise, aka...

    I have used the sonics a lot with terminator brakes and work fine being the shooter. Not as good if you are beside someone in the blast zone though. The safariland ones are a bit better or the top...

    My .308 has a 16” barrel 1:11” twist. It shoots the 151gr hp cast bullets well, only on targets at the moment. I need 6moa comeup from my supersonic loaf to zero the subs at 25”, still pretty much...

    I’m glad we live in the country we do, use what we like with what we like with no seasons. Barrel length is a personal choice for whatever style hunting you do. A short barrel has it’s bonuses with...

    Could be an American anomaly in NZ, there are a lot of guns made in the USA. "Simply put, on the whole, a rifle barrel should be no less than 16" and a shotgun barrel should be no less than 18"....

    I had a similar issue last year with a 5 year old range finder. Sent it to the nz rep in Nelson, along with a payment for around $350 and I had a new RX1000 model arrive 2 days later. It was out...

    My Zastava was 1:12 and i stabilized 180gr round nose to use as subs fine. Yet to try subs with my tikka 308. I would say it would be similar anything heavier than ~180gr will not work 168-180 is...

    0.5" is going to make a mouses farts difference. It could be 16.5" so what ever supressor they are using butts up against or very close to the forened. Any shorter and they will have to cut the...

    I have a VX6 and VX6HD. The HD seems to have slightly better glass, but the straight VX6 glass is still excellent and I wouldn’t hesitate to own another one instead of the HD model for the price...

    Yes. I have an older VX6 (non HD) and a VX5HD. The VX5 is noticeably better in every aspect.

    There might be a difference in the way the glass is manufactured, but I suspect that because anything to do with optics these days is "High Definition", it will be just a marketing ploy. In saying...
