I found the 22mag a bit of a mixed bag on goats. As Flyblown mentions, yearlings and the like are quite diminutive in size; a 22mag will cream them at 100yd no trouble. But solid billies are a...

Fantasy? Sounds like a nightmare! A .22lr would be a no brainer for me. There’s a lot of bang for your buck to be had with the humble 22: small game hunting, target shooting, trying to stretch the...

Yeah they used to do a 2-7x33 vxr with firedot. Don’t think they make them any more but occasionally come up for sale

Agreed. A 260, Creedmoor, or 6.5 Lapua would be hard to beat if you had to have just one rifle. But the 308 is very efficient for 95% of the hunting that I do, so no need to change

What’s your budget? It’s hard to give you any meaningful advice without a number... I would look at Swarovski CL, Leica Trinovid, or Zeiss Conquest; 8x30 or 8x42. There are also some very good...

10x is more popular but I prefer 8x, simply due to the wider field of view. I’ve also found 8x to be more than adequate when glassing at longer ranges, provided the glass is up to the task. I’ve used...

I don’t think I would risk building a custom rifle. I know of too many builds that have gone pear-shaped so I just stick with decent factory rifles. I remember reading a forum post many years ago...

Yes 150s are very effective. But those chasing the extended ranges require a higher BC, which is where slippery 168s or 178s come in. Never used 180 power points but that would be an awesome bush...
