A 19" 3006 has better potential than a 19" 308. You've got a hammer. Use it. 284 has a fatter and shorter case than the 3006 so you would need to work on feed issues if you change. Changing...

You're not talking about hunting rifles are you ? The most likely gun to score well would be an old fullbore target rifle with aperture sights like the Omark 44 mentioned above or a Parker Hale. ...

Back in BC days when Matt Grant and Tahr were young, it was standard to sight in at 25 paces. We did a lot more checking sights at the road end and campsite then. Two things that make a lot of...

Ok. Alt strategy: Goal is instant usability to 400m with minimum cost. You won't have time or ammo supply to do trajectory verification. So use a light flat shooting bullet eg 140gr. 160+...

In NZ in the 1970s, many 303s had a special small bridge screwed on which took parker hale rings. This is an authentic kiwi mod. Nowadays many of the PH rings have stripped their threads and the...

It a "trusty " rifle so have you had it for a while and dont mind spending a few dollars on it? It looks like it hasn't had much use or the metalwork has been restored with nice phosphorising ?

I went straight from a lee loader and hammer (just given it away with my .303) to a Co-Ax. A mate from the Warren Page era told me that was the best and I was fortunate enough to be able to afford...

I've discovered that the grendel is a unique low velocity , medium BC round (very similar to the .303). I'd be surprised if common ballistic reticles are close enough past 300m. Would need a special...

I bent a piece of reinforcing rod in a C shape and hung the plate from bolts on a piece of old climbing rope. That allows stretch so impact doesn't snap it like chains do. The figure 8 knots give a...
