    Barnes130 liked post by JohnDuxbury On thread : .275 Rigby is a fantasy cartridge

    So I have had Sauer 202’s since 1992 when they first came out. I own three now. Never had an issue with them, never lost a mag or broken a stock. Also own S&L and Heym change barrel versions. No you...

    There is plenty of brass around as factory ammo, and 7mm is the second most common calibre for projectiles after .308 The 7mm08 is only better if you keep the 7x57 to the low pressures of a...

    Don't need to justify owning quality kit! I could get away with a Tikka 308 for everything in NZ, but I chose the custom route cause it's fun! Beauty pack, I've been keeping an eye on these....

    The loudest firearms I have fired were revolvers. No trouble with hunting rifles unless youre dumb enough to shoot one inside a car - or - standing right next to a building or a wall.... Never...

    Hopefully there will be some breakthroughs in suppressor development that allow for a much smaller one that keeps everyone happy. I remember reading that shooters on a range wearing both plugs and...
