Linseed oil goes hard by oxidising. Overdoing the oiling means that the oil deep in the stock doesn't get any oxygen, and stays liquid. It seems when. It gets warm because it expands. Just...

I used to think Swaro glass was just a marketing gimmick until I got one. I use a Swaro X5i 3.5-18x56 (BT) on my 243 (Tikka action) and its my main deer rifle (mostly Roe) and it is very good in all...

Still the Z5. I like its simplicity, the glass is slightly better to my eyes. 4w reticle is excellent. Its 100gr lighter. People get hung up becauss its only a single rev elevation dial (unless you...

Good scopes, on most rifles you can dial for about 700yds max as they are a single turn.

Most rifles will group better shortened and suppressed (but may lose a bit of velocity depending on length and chambering etc), so I'm not sure what your point is there? Are you saying damaging your...

2209 still a good choice, but RL17 or Superformance I’ve found best for getting max velocity out of shorter bbl 284s. RL16 is meant to be very similar to 17 but more temp stable so maybe a better...

I make end grain boards but don’t really use any NZ timbers. I really like the look of white oak.The walnut we get here is no where near as nice as the USA stuff. But the middle board is un oiled...

I'm referring to the barrel channel only. You also have barrel vibration or whip as one consideration. I've yet to come across a wooden stocked rifle used for hunting that doesn't have some shrinkage...

A&D fx120 or fx300 and just use a thrower to dump loads in then trickle the rest.

Why all the negative stuff about Tikka's, I don't own one but they are very very good firearms, the design is superb, the Q/A excellent and the results accuracy wise speak for themselves. The mere...

I'd be very careful changing the shape of the firing pin. Unless you know what you are doing you could end up with a little mess. If you really really know what you are doing you can dress the tip so...

I think most commercial hunters use the good old ruger 10/22, must be a reason for that.
