I had a 6.5-06 that had the screw hole for the rear sight drilled through into the barrel (whoops) and it still shot superbly - 50mm 10 shot groups at 300m in competition were not uncommon. Of...

Time will tell if the adjustments are solid. Leupold don't have a good record there, so I'm watching but not especially excited yet.

Can you provide links to scientific ( peer reviewed ) literature regarding lead isotope testing in NZ kea? Otherwise I call bullshit on your statements. How many bullets do you think are dispersed...

Ah, no. It's double the intensity. You need 6dB to double the SPL. All academic anyway. If the -peak- SPL exceeds 140, you going to suffer damage with impulse noise. 16" v 22"- both are going to...
