    BRADS liked post by Beetroot On thread : New Leupold VX-6 HD
    Agreed, what the hell were they thinking, all they needed to do was offer a VX3 with M1 turrets and a zero stop. Probably would've been hell of a lot cheaper, and been what people actually wanted! ...

    .22-250 everything liked post by Beetroot On thread : Trad or Compound
    Definitey traditional. I have a 55lb recurve and it is an absolute bitch to shoot, takes a while to build up the right muscles to be able to shoot it comfortably. But once you get used to it it's...

    Was an awesome event, will certainly be entering if it's held again. Thanks Gillie! Was great for new comers, was easy enough that anyone could enjoy themselves but hard enough to challenge even...

    Feather or Shoot liked post by Beetroot On thread : Which 6.5
    If trying to decide between 6.5x55, 6.5 Creedmoor and .260 I would just look for what calibers are available in the rifle you want. Tikka and Sako seem to be sticking with .260 whereas Ruger and...

    Dead is better liked post by Beetroot On thread : Guess the MV of the TMK 130gn
    I'm not sure, but wouldn't be hard playing around in a ballistics calculator. The higher BC of the 140gr should mean that regardless of wind conditions it will have less wind drift, the only way you...

    Steve123 liked post by Beetroot On thread : Removing epoxied on mounts
    I'd give it a good blast with the heat gun before undoing the screws, then give rings a tap with a hammer if you can't remove them by hand. Unless you heat them up something crazy (like over 200...

    You are gunna need over 3200fps to get the less wind drift at 1000m with those 130TMKs vs the load you have for the 140 ELD-Ms. I'd stick with the ELDs, 2885fps from a standard 6.5x55 is pretty darn...

    Savage make nice rifles, think I'd go for a Savage over a Remington. Savage make a nice rifle for the price. Ruger American and Howa 1500 are a bit cheaper, but still get good reviews. Kimbers and...
